Cyberport One is a vision for a new form of creative production community built around access to data networks.

It started in Victoria where within the compact precinct of South Melbourne/Port Melbourne there are more than 500 separate production enterprises and studios.The nature of their projects involves the use of time-based media (radio, music, film, television, interactive media) in time-critical multi-disciplinary production environments.

This community is a leading-edge user and exponent of communications technologies. Connectivity with colleagues, collaborators and consumers is the foundation stone of these information content industries.

Cyberport One is a project to demonstrate through the collaborative production of a film in Melbourne, Sydney and Los Angles, how both this Melbourne precinct and more geographically dispersed collaborative production can benefit from a more effective "cabled enabled" production environment.

To test the practices and protocols for online production, it is intended to shoot a short film in Melbourne in June, transfer the digitised media to AFTRS Sydney for post-production. Creative decisions during the post-production phase will be made from Melbourne using collaborative production software.

As Annabel McGilvray wrote in The Australian 31 March:

Picture this. Film students shoot a documentary in Coober Pedy. later that day colleagues in a Los Angeles studio collaborate in editing the film, using technology that sits in a room in the Sydney suburb of North Ryde.

The partners in this first stage of CyberPort are the AFTRS, Monash University (Advanced Network Systems Performance and Applications Group) and University of California, Los Angeles (Department of Film and TV).
