Denver, CO (PRWEB) January 19, 2010

Thought Equity Motion, Inc.—the world leader in digitizing, delivering and monetizing video content—announced today that the company’s CEO and founder, Kevin Schaff, will be a panelist at History Makers, an international summit of history and current affairs producers, taking place Jan. 27-29, 2010 at the Grand Hyatt New York. Schaff will be speaking on the “Future of Digital Archives” panel from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Jan. 28, 2010.

“I’m looking forward to contributing to this roundtable and discussing the future of digital archives. I think new robust forms of access to digital news, sports and entertainment video archives are ‘what’s next’ for documentarians,” said Kevin Schaff, CEO and founder of Thought Equity Motion. “Rather than spending weeks or months creating a documentary, producers will be able to access ‘intelligent’ archives to more rapidly and effectively tell their stories, including the ability to generate ‘instant documentaries’ in the web and broadband media within hours to supplement current event stories and programming. Richer tagging within archives will help manage rights and enable production through metadata.”

The Future of Digital Archives panel will cover issues such as new storage technologies, image transformation, and the challenges of meeting multi-platform and HD demands. Schaff and the other panelists will work to identify how the digital transformation will impact archive libraries and the producers and broadcasters who rely on them.

“Kevin is a leading thinker in the digitization and emerging media space and he’ll add great insights to our Future of Digital Archives session,” said Bill Nemtin, executive producer, History Makers. “I think documentary producers and broadcasters will be interested to hear Kevin’s thoughts about how next-generation online video libraries will allow them to create documentary projects more efficiently.”
