How StoryFile Unleashes Powerful Stories with Exascend

Memory Cards That Keep Up with Volumetric 6K Video Capture for Innovative Conversational AI

In the realm of storytelling, narratives from those who experienced them firsthand often leave the greatest impact. Imagine being able to engage in conversations with these storytellers – what better ways to immerse yourself in their experiences, lives, and unique perspectives? Thanks to StoryFile, an Exascend customer, this is now a reality. By combining advanced conversational artificial intelligence with ultra-fidelity cinematography, StoryFile creates authentic and impactful conversational experiences. Through their groundbreaking technology, individuals can now engage in compelling dialogues with Holocaust survivors, beloved family members, and even celebrities, as if they were sitting right across the table from them.

Challenges in Capturing Authentic Stories

Within their state-of-the-art studio, StoryFile utilizes an 18-camera rig and cutting-edge cinematography techniques to bring important stories to life. At the heart of this process is the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K, a primary camera that captures footage with exceptional clarity and detail. However, shooting volumetric footage on advanced camera systems, like the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K, presents its own unique challenges, including the need for extreme memory card write speeds and sustained performance during long takes that can extend up to 45 minutes. Additionally, offloading footage from an 18-camera rig is a time-consuming process. To address these critical requirements, StoryFile turned to Exascend, a leading provider of data storage solutions.

Unleashing the Power of Volumetric 6K Video Capture with Exascend Essential CFast

Recognizing the specific demands of StoryFile’s cinematographic endeavors, Exascend collaborated with top cinematography camera system manufacturers to develop memory cards with firmware specifically optimized for each camera’s workload and recording modes. One such solution is the Exascend 1 TB Essential CFast memory card.

These cards offer a range of benefits tailored to StoryFile’s needs. Exascend’s exclusive SuperCruise™ technology ensures stability and unwavering sustained write performance, crucial for handling the demands of shooting volumetric footage. With an impressive sustained read performance of 530 MB/s, the Essential CFast cards enable rapid offloading of data, significantly reducing the time required for StoryFile’s transition from studio to post-production.

Enhanced Storytelling Capabilities

By equipping all camera systems in their 18-camera rig with Exascend Essential CFast cards, StoryFile effectively eliminates the risks associated with interruptions and data corruption caused by underperforming memory cards. Additionally, the improved offloading speed facilitated by Exascend’s CFast cards drastically reduces the time required for post-shooting processes, enabling StoryFile to swiftly move from the studio to post-production.

With Exascend’s cinematography storage solutions in place, StoryFile can now focus entirely on its core mission of bringing important stories to life through innovative technologies. By harnessing the power of Exascend’s advanced memory cards, StoryFile has unlocked a world of immersive storytelling, where personal narratives can be preserved, shared, and cherished for generations to come.
