Mike Seymour:
The basic problem is two-fold. Firstly, camera footage with valuable metadata gets transcoded and in the process the metadata is lost, and second, there is no standard for non-encoded metadata. Not even a standard printed form – until today.
There are lot of use for camera data. Most of the time you don't have it or nobody knows where it went. The DPX files have been striped of the data and the PA has no idea what the heck your talking about. I hope this helps.

Ian Failes:
When The Foundry launched NUKE 8 via a live digital streaming event today, what was immediately apparent was the company’s close relationships with its customers. These are, of course, the artists who use their tools, including NUKE everyday, and during the stream, artists such as Encore Hollywood’s Stephan Fleet, Framestore’s Russell Dodgson, and DD’s Mike Maloney took to the stage for very entertaining presentations.
I have beening playing with Nuke8. Here is a rundown of whats new.

VFXSoldier:
Our law firm recommended that we form a trade organization to demonstrate domestic industry support for our effort. If we prove to the US International Trade Court that we have the support of the majority of the domestic VFX industry and the industry is being injured by international subsidies, a duty to offset and nullify their distortive effect will be instituted.
