Camera to Cloud (C2C) is a new and powerful tool with untold advantages. I came up with an idea on how to use it, and combining that with not just Open Gate shooting, but vertical Open Gate, made for a very, very interesting workflow. If the idea of providing both near real-time, short-form, 9:16 social content AND 16:9 4K long-form content from the same footage interests you… then check out this workflow.

SUMMARY
At NAB 2023, I shot a series of news stories from the NAB show floor using a LUMIX S5II camera mounted vertically. The footage was shot in 6K open gate mode utilizing ATOMOS Camera to Cloud (C2C), which allowed me to deliver high-quality vertical social media content in near realtime, as well as standard 4K widescreen delivery after the show.

The workflow for this project was as follows:

1. I shot interviews and b-roll footage on the NAB show floor using a vertically mounted LUMIX S5II camera.
2. The footage was recorded internally in the LUMIX S5II to SD cards in V-Log, 4:2:0 10-bit, HEVC codec at 200Mbps.
3. The S5II can record internally in 6K while simultaneously outputting 4K over HDMI.
4. The camera's HDMI output fed into an ATOMOS Ninja V+ with the ATOMOS CONNECT system attached to it.
5. The ATOMOS Connect converted the incoming 4K HDMI feed to HD "proxy" clips to push to the cloud.
6. The HD files were then uploaded to frame.io, where a remote editor could access them.
7. The editor would cut the stories into vertical shorts, which were then pushed back to frame.io for review and approval.
8. Once approved, the vertical shorts were posted to social media.
9. After the show, I could re-edit traditional landscape Ultra HD from the vertical 6K source.

This project was a success. We delivered high-quality short form vertical content in near realtime while not sacrificing final delivery of traditional widescreen, more thoughtfully edited content, later. This workflow can apply to any event where both immediate updates AND longer form recaps are desired.

Here are some of the challenges I faced with this project:

1. Some shots that were framed for vertical end up being a little tight when cut horizontally.
2. It can be difficult to find a remote editor who is familiar with the specific workflow and equipment used in this project.
3. The quality of the internet connection on the show floor can be unreliable, which can impact the ability to upload footage to the cloud.

Overall, I am very happy with the results of this project. I believe that this workflow is a valuable tool for anyone who wants to deliver high-quality content to social media in near realtime and traditional media at full quality later.
