6 F A L L 2 0 1 8 C A S Q U A R T E R L Y It's often said that the world is getting smaller or that it's not as big as it used to be, but it's still all too difficult to recognize the challenges that we share as a race and as an industry. We often focus on the problems that are right in front of us rather than coming together to see a wider industry struggling to excel in the marketplace. One of the goals of our organization is to share our learning with each other and with the upcoming generation. Future learning from the present and present learning from history. As our industry experiences a shift toward all over-the-top distribution methods, and budgets and project schedules compress, it is all too easy to focus on our small section of the industry rather than working together to understand how other specialties and geographies are dealing with the issues that we face. This organization consists of experts in their fields in more than 30 countries worldwide. We have a membership that can solve and share solutions to any problem that we might face professionally. With new distribution methods, previous differences with frame rates and sample rates continue to shrink. The Netflix model and specifications will continue to gain traction as they have more of the market than their competitors combined (Harvard Business Review), and in nearly 200 countries they are becoming THE platform. As an organization, we can help each other to understand the needs of these new mediums and work together to develop capture techniques that benefit our colleagues in post. We must share the challenges that we see so that we can learn as we solve. As we approach awards season, let us look to our international community for inspiration and innovation.
