Machines as Storytellers: AI in the Archive Room

Episode 52

Monday, December 22, 2025 • Duration 27:59

The Broadcast Tech Talks podcast sits down with Benjamin Field, CEO of Deep Fusion Films, to explore how AI is revolutionising the documentary filmmaking process.

Field shares insights into how his team is transforming the use of archival footage, removing traditional commissioning barriers, and streamlining production—without eliminating the human element.

Deep Fusion's in-house developed product Weavr uses genAI to write storylines from archive material and create the first draft of a one-hour documentary using the archive material, all in around 6-7 hours from scratch.

The company is using Weavr to create 12 x 1-hour documentaries, created from content in the TopFoto library.

These films will be distributed on YouTube next year.

The podcast episode was recorded live at Broadcast Tech's Archive & Restoration Forum event held earlier this year at Everyman cinema, KIng's Cross, London.

The fireside chat was between Benjamin Field, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Deep Fusion Films and Charlotte Wheeler, Director, Broadcast Tech.

This podcast explores the current landscape of film and TV archiving in the UK, what’s working, what’s at risk, and what the future holds. It was recorded live at the Broadcast Tech Fest Archive & Restoration Form at Everyman cinema in King's Cross.

DEMAND FOR ARCHIVE MATERIAL

Has there continued to be a high demand for archive content across different genres in 2025?

TECH OBSOLESCENCE AND ACCESSIBILITY OF ARCHIVES

How does the availability of tape heads, generations of LTO players/tapes, the fragility of film and the obsolescence of certain storage formats impact archiving decisions?

CULTURAL GENOCIDE

Why first world countries are benefitting by being able to archive, and why we risk cultural genocide where archives from developing countries could be lost forever.

DIGITAL-FIRST CONTENT

What is being done to preserve digital-first content? Who is financing this?

How is AI enhancing the management of archives, and the restoration of content? And how do you stop LLMs from using archive content to train their models.

HOW TO STORE ARCHIVES

What’s the best way to store rushes and project files that’s both cost effective and helps ensure longevity and easy access – LTO, cloud, hard drives in a cupboard…?

For this edition of the Broadcast Tech Talks Podcast, senior reporter Max Miller speaks to Azimuth head of audio Kate Davis and HHB CTO John Johnson about how AI is changing the way post-production is completed.

AI, or machine learning, has long been used in post, but recent years have seen its use grow at an increasing rate. Audio post is one of the most talked about areas for AI, with new tools that can clean up poorly recorded audio, replace dubbing by replicating an actor’s voice in another language, and more meaning that it is a hotbed for innovation.

Davis and Johnson reveal what they have already seen being done in the industry, and what could be coming in the next 12 months.

The Future of Post Production

Episode 43

Monday, March 4, 2024 • Duration 52:06

Broadcast Tech editorial director Jake Bickerton talks to president of Picture Shop, Cara Shepherd, Racoon founder David ‘Klaf’ Klafkowski and director of post production and partnership at Sky, Adam Downey, about the major issues affecting post-production right now.

The discussion covers the ongoing impact of the recent writers’ and actors’ strikes, and the potential of more strikes to follow from other sectors of the industry.

A big focus of the debate is on how post-production houses are having to adapt to deal with several major business challenges coming at once – the strikes, the commissioning slowdown, significant budget pressures, the cost of living crisis, etc.

In some cases, these have slashed workload for post houses by half. The good news is things are set to change dramatically in the second half of 2024, which could see facilities being packed out again, as discussed in this podcast.

Also discussed is how post is reacting to the growth of GenAI and automation, whether it’s a welcome change or a threat to business; whether post houses could or should accommodate the needs of the social-first generation of content creators; and ensuring data security within post-production.

This episode of the Broadcast Tech Talks podcast is a recording of the opening speaker panel discussion at the recent Future of Post Production Forum we ran in association with Avid at the BFI Southbank, London last month.
