Film Locker: A Revolution in Carbon-Neutral, Digital-Film Data Storage
Film Locker prides itself as the leading purveyor of secure, carbon-neutral digital-film data storage to the creative media industries. A single terabyte of data stored in the cloud produces a staggering 9,700kg of CO2e. However, with FilmLocker’s innovative offline storage solution, this emission figure plummets to a mere 37kg.
Film Locker hired Devstars, a pioneer in digital media design, production, and marketing, to redesign and build their WordPress sales site and pioneer a low-carbon, data management solution that would help their clients manage their offline data.
We are now developing stage two whoich will bring further advancments in restoring data and maintaining the low carbind solution.
The Challenge
Film Locker’s clientele, primarily film and TV companies, had a critical need: they required the ability to view directories, review stored content, and request data restoration, all with the added complexity of the data being stored offline.
To accommodate these needs, we needed to develop a solution that would enable a seamless view of each backup, capturing the full folder structure and all the metadata without the file’s weighty content.
The Solution
Harnessing the power of Python, we developed an innovative drag and drop Mac app that would output a drives file structure in XML. The generated file could then be imported into WordPress via a bespoke plug-in and mapped to the client’s individual login.
Now, clients can effortlessly login from the front end, navigate through their drives, and pinpoint the content they need.
What’s more, they can easily request a restore with just a few clicks.
This collaboration with Film Locker reinforces our commitment to creative and efficient solutions in the realm of digital marketing and technology.
With Film Locker we continue to bridge the gap between advanced technology and environmental responsibility, delivering results that exceed our clients’ expectations while sustaining our planet for future generations.
