Why Create Video Server Best Practices?

TV/VIDEO TEAM

Collaboration on Projects

As a team, we consistently work from the same files. Therefore a team member must have the ability to work within any project efficiently. Every project should be organized consistently no matter the size or scrope of project. Because collaboration can begin at any time, a project should be set up and kept organized from the beginning and throughout the duration of the job. There should be no waiting and cleaning up a project upon completion.

Erickson Senior Living Footage Retention Policies

Legal has determined that we need to dispose of footage after ten years. Working in an organized server environment will ensure we delete expired footage from all projects that utilize it.

Team Growth

Hiring Freelancers

When a freelancer assists with workloads, a systematic approach to server organization will allow them to step in seamlessly.

Scope of Projects

As the number and type of projects continue to grow, staying organized will allow us to spend time on the creative and not figuring out the project structure or asset locations.

Security of Assets

All team members following the same organizational protocol (see page 3) will lessen the risk of inadvertently deleting assets.
