Currenly at BFI's Screen/Play event for London Games Festival. Fascinated to hear about people's career turns, starting in film before moving into games and vice versa.
Also great to see colleagues talking about the upcoming Rogue Trooper Movie and our archiving work behind the scenes. #rebellion

Am looking into disk image compression, and wondering whether there's a digital preservation friendly approach for this. Am wondering whether gzipping raw disk images would do the job. Although concerned this may increase risk of data loss, if the file got corrupted.
Is anyone archiving compressed disk images or have recommendations on formatting?

Really enjoyed the Japan: Myths to Manga exhibition at the Young V&A museum today. Learnt all about Japanese folklore through #ascii animals... and a dog in a kimono. 🐶https://www.vam.ac.uk/exhibitions/japan-myths-to-manga
