Crespi d'Adda. Cotton and Brick utopia
The C.U.B.E. project introduced an innovative, fully remote postproduction model for the cultural documentary “Crespi d’Adda. Utopia of Work”. The entire post-production phase—editing, sound design, audio processing, and finalization—was carried out remotely between collaborators in Germany and Italy (2 SMEs). This new model enhances digital efficiency and reduces environmental impact by eliminating travel and physical infrastructure needs. The adoption of cloud-based storage and online management tools enabled real-time international collaboration, reducing CO₂ emissions and logistical costs while increasing scalability and sustainability in creative production.
