We are pleased to announce that SEAPAVAA will be conducting a workshop on High Productivity Digitization at the 27th SEAPAVAA Conference on 8 – 9 May 2023 at the Mahatai Pattaya Convention Center in Pattaya, Thailand. The workshop will be led by Jim Lindner, SEAPAVAA Associate Individual member and SEAPAVAA Fellow, with assistance from David Barnard, Managing Director of Gencom Technology.
Synopsis
In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn the concepts of high-productivity film digitization using next-generation tools. The participants will be requested to bring a reel of 16mm film and a high-capacity memory stick with them to the workshop. Participants will have hands-on experience learning how to scan their own film and will leave with a digitized copy of the film they have brought with them on a memory stick. Participants will learn by doing and have a real film in their collection that they digitized to bring home.
The workshop would be divided into two parts: The first part will be a lecture that will last for half a day where they will learn some of the issues and difficulties associated with digitizing film quickly and inexpensively. The lecture will discuss different methods to process the materials and digitize them.
For the second part, participants will work with a new generation of scanner which is less expensive and has higher productivity than current technology. The participants will form into different teams and they will learn together and from each other how to process the work efficiently. In addition to actually doing the migration, we will discuss their actual collections and issues that they have.
