Footage, Everywhere, All at Once: OWC's Jellyfish Goes to the Oscars

Immediately after each award recipient received their individual or group Oscar award, the talent would step backstage and shoot a bit of social content. After the content was shot with the newly crowned Oscar winner, the editing team would take over.

A Digital Imaging Technician would ingest the 4K media directly to the Jellyfish, using Silverstack to organize media with metadata via the directly connected 10GbE ethernet port.

The three video editors then imported the media into their shared Premiere Pro project. The MacBook Pros were all connected to 10 Gigabit Ethernet via OWC Thunderbolt Pro Docks enabling fast connectivity and the ability create real time social posts.  

The finished videos for the social campaign were posted on The Academy’s Instagram live during the event:

Here are a few direct links to some of the content created on their Jellyfish Mobile this weekend:

Brendan Fraser for Lead Actor

Jamie Lee Curtis for Supporting Actress

Guillermo del Toro for Animated Film  

The post-production team was able to rely on the Jellyfish Mobile for the entire live event with consistent, fast, write and read speeds. The result were quick turns of high-end media thanks to the shared storage allowing multiple people to work on the projects simultaneously.

In only 45 minutes, Loren Mally, OWC Director of Sales, set the Academy's team up for success with the Jellyfish system, complete with off off-site support from ESG teammates Nina Standing and Tyler Heron.

Thanks, from everyone here at OWC to the entire Oscars team for trusting Jellyfish at the most important night in Hollywood.
