Initially using THE BIRDS, an experimental prototype has been constructed which incorporates documents, storyboards, production reports and a variety of other elements in order to explore how these kinds of resources can be best utilized within a digital framework. These resources were drawn from the extraordinary collection of Hitchcock materials held at the Magaret Herrick Library at the Motion Picture Academy's Center for Motion Picture Study. The project examines the surprising relationship between advanced digital techniques (such as 3-D walkthroughs and visual databases) and Hitchcock's approach to the film making process.
