Recreate relaunches Films Division's Web site
NEW DELHI -- Recreate Solutions, a London-based premier
IT services company with a major development center
in Mumbai, recently revamped the Website of The Films
Division of India. Recreate is also helping The Films
Division in developing marketing strategy for the
Web site.
In
the pilot project comprising of 220 hours of video,
The Films Division selected over 700 movies averaging
a frame length of 20 minutes per movie clip. These
are encoded in 56Kbps and 128Kbps in Windows and Real
formats for dial-up and high-speed connectivity, respectively.
The site is hosted on a server abroad with a dedicated
256Kbps link and can have up to 20 simultaneous users
logged on to the site. The search engine gives the
surfer a choice of category, year of production, director
and clip titles.
The
site also introduces to the audience the offerings
of The Films Division such as the media lab, the equipment
and infrastructure available such as premises and
sets for film shoots. Users can also get information
on tendering procedures and provisions for press releases.
Capable of extending to an intranet and/an extranet,
the architecture of the site is open and flexible,
but not vulnerable to cyber attacks.
Sanjaya
Pattanayak, director -- administration, Films Division
of India, said: "Recreate deserves our congratulations
certainly. The new Web site is extremely user-friendly
and offers an opportunity to audiences all around
the world to experience the rich cultural heritage
of India and also the facilities offered by us."
Rajendra
Parmar, co-founder and president, Recreate Solutions,
added: "It was most satisfying to complete this
challenging task within a month. We are very pleased
for this opportunity to preserve our cinematic history
and talent by the adoption of the latest technology
for future generations."
