In the increasingly globalized film industry, videoconferencing has become useful as a method by which creative talent in many different locations can collaborate closely on the complex details of film production. For example, for the 2013 award-winning animated film Frozen, Burbank-based Walt Disney Animation Studios hired the New York City-based husband-and-wife songwriting team of Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez to write the songs, which required two-hour-long transcontinental videoconferences nearly every weekday for about 14 months.
In what industry has videoconferencing become useful? On what film was videoconferencing widely used? What year was the movie Frozen released? In what city were the songwriting team of Frozen located? How many months did the songwriters work on the movie via videoconferencing?
