As productions accelerate, working materials like dailies, rushes, and scripts are often overlooked in long-term storage plans. But with growing demand for remasters, recuts, and archival access, managing these assets from day one is critical. This panel of production experts explores how to balance fast-paced workflows with smart, scalable preservation strategies. Especially as networked storage, remote collaboration, and streaming review platforms become standard. Learn what questions to ask during production, how to avoid future headaches, and why what you save—and how you save it—matters more than ever.
