With the advent of DVDs, the Internet, broadband and cheaper storage, the industry began moving cautiously toward change, but in Hollywood old habits die hard. "When we showed up a few years ago and started to survey whether our technology could be applied there, all we saw was the classic thing where you ran these giant spaghetti charts," says HP's Kuehle. "Everything was siloed and tape-based, so every process was on tape and films were still being sent out via Fed Ex or courier. It was almost comical." With the exception of DVD, production-oriented technology that helps create, capture, refurbish and distribute filmsin effect, serve as a digital supply chainwere at best severely limited.
