Documentaire sur Grand Ecran : manufacturing of the DVD “Documentary cinema, fragments of history”
DVD Technical Production of a film on the history of cinema.
The association Documentaire sur Grand Ecran asked me to manufacture DVDs for their DVD collection “Special Collections”. Documentary films for demanding directors, for which I work in detail the preparation of master movies, encoding quality and monitoring of ergonomics.
The film, “Documentary cinema, fragments of history”, was directed by Jean-Louis Comolli.

Synopsis of the film
A crossing of documentary films of the Lumière brothers to Guy Debord. By tapping into the images that make up three quarters of a century, Jean-Louis Comolli has chosen films that have gone through the past fifty years, in response to the command : find “his” history of cinema and particularly of documentary film. Clever visual score orchestrated by a voice-over (his) fingering the themes that are dear to him - instead of the viewer, the fiction in the documentary, the impact of technological change on the artistic... - the the film weaves between the extracts unpredictable links.

DVD (since 1997) and Blu-ray (since 2006), optical broadcasting media, still exist, and can still have some uses. I am an expert in these technologies since their appearance. Technical design, project management, encoding, authoring, in order to produce the most ergonomic media, with the best technical quality and with the most efficient working methods.

Now, these technologies are less and less used, but the methodological and technical requirement they require inspires good working methods for the design of video broadcasting web platforms for example. A question that also arises today is the perennial backup of DVD and Blu-ray, for which I have developed methods.
