QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

N66604-14-Q-0816 Questions and Answers

Q1: For A001 #3 - What is the Application Wireframe needed for? Please be more specific as this is typically for interactive and what you want is a 30 second PSA so not clear why you need this?

A1: This PSA will include computer animation as necessary to effetely engage the audience and will be decided upon when working on Task 4.1 Creative Development, Pre-Production Phase 1.

The PSA may include filming Navy Energy Leaders as to profile their work and technologies.

Creative direction, scope and limitations for the PSA will be decided during task 4.1 with Navy stakeholders.

Q2: For A002 #4 - Are you simply wanting the PSA to be encoded for web distribution? Please clarify?

A2: N/A

Q3: For A002 #5 - To put the integrated elements into your Digital Information System/Media

Pipeline - can you provide more details on what the Pipeline is and requirements? What software are you using? Are there specific ways in which you log material for archiving/search?

Etc. This is not hard to do just need more information so all settings the same so delivery seamless.

A3: It is expected all media formats should be standard non-proprietary formats. The details of the delivery structure and metadata requirements will be provided as GFI at the beginning of this contract.

Q4: Can you provide more information for the 30 second PSA? Is there filming - how much/location? Is there computer animation - how much/and what? The more information on the creative the better idea we have to provide a cost proposal.

A4: The 30 second PSA will include filming and the location is currently undetermined at this time but will be in the United States. This PSA will include computer animation as necessary to effetely engage the audience and will be decided upon when working on Task 4.1 Creative

Development, Pre-Production Phase 1. The PSA may include filming Navy Energy Leaders as to profile their work and technologies. Creative direction, scope and limitations for the PSA will be decided during task 4.1 with Navy stakeholders.

Q5: Is this a follow-on requirement? If so, could you please provide the incumbent contract number for this opportunity?

If not, is this a new requirement?

A5: This is a new requirement.

Q6: Can you please be more specific with what is required for the "web based framework" for rapid multimedia content prototyping and collaborative production? Are you talking about the ability to have on-line collaborative edit sessions and reviews of content like the PSA or animation?

A6: YES

Q7: The more details on the capability of this "web based framework" the better.

A7: A "WEB BASED FRAMEWORK" IS A VIRTUAL COLLABORATIVE SPACE WHERE

STORY DEVELOPMENT, PRE-PRODUCTION, PRODUCTION (PERHAPS IN CERTAIN

ASPECTS) AND POST-PRODUCTION MAY BE AN INTEGRATED EXPERIENCE USING

THE WEB, AND WEB BASED COLLABORATION SOFTWARE TO REMOVE

GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARIES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THIS ALLOWS THE

GOVERNMENT PRODUCER OR DIRECTOR TO SEAMLESSLY WORK WITH

CREATIVE AND TECHNICAL TALENT VIRTUALLY.

Q8: Also it is very hard to provide a bid or cost proposal as it's not clear on what are we creating or the final deliverables? Is there a way to define the final deliverables with more details/information?

A8: DELIVERABLES ARE LISTED IN SECTION 2.0 AND 4.3 OF THE SOW. HARD

MULTIMEDIA DELIVERABLES WILL BE DEFINED WHILE IMPLEMENTING TASK 4.1

CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT, PRE-PRODUCTION PHASE 1. PLEASE SEE TECHNICAL

REQUIREMENTS SECTION 4.0 AND SCOPE SSECTION 2.0. PLAN OF ACTION AND

MILESTONES (POAM) DOCUMENT FOR ONE YEAR OF MULTIMEDIA ENERGY

MESSAGING CONTENT AND DISTRIBUTION DELIVERY PLAN IS REQUIRED UNDER

THE FIRST TASK WHICH WILL DETAIL FINAL DELIVERABLES "WITHIN SCOPE" AS

DEFINED IN TASKS 4.1 AND 4.2 AND APPROVED BY GOVERNMENT

STAKEHOLDERS

Q9: There is a 30 second PSA?

A9: YES

Q10: What other digital media - need specifics to do pricing the SOW notes "contractor shall develop media content that profiles Navy energy leadership" - is this another media piece beyond the 30 second PSA? If so how long is it?

A10: THIS IS A PIECE OF THE PSA. HOWEVER THERE WILL NEED TO BE

ADDITIONAL MEDIA FOR PRINT, WEB, AND MOBIL THAT COVER NAVY ENERGY

RESILANCY AND SECURITY.

Q11: The SOW also states: "web and mobile based multimedia content for distribution across the

Navy.multimedia elements and computer generate imagery (CGI) will be visualized on high definition monitors, exhibition technologies such as 2K and 4K resolution portals, touch panel kiosks, an head mounted displays" - again need very specific information here on exact type of animation - length of animation - exact type of mobile or web content so we can provide cost for each specific item.

A11: THIS CONSTENT IS TO BE DEFINED IN COLLOBARTION WITH GOVERNMENT

STAKEHOLDER/GOVERNMENT ASSIGNED PRODUCER/DIRECTOR WHEN VENDOR

IS CONDUCTIGN TASK 4.1 AND DEVELOPING THE POAM DOCUMENT AND

DISTRIBUTION AND DELIVERY PLAN. PLEASE NOT TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

SECTION 4.0

Q12:Are the collaboration tools to provide

a) collaboration between producers (media production) and Navy Personnel, SMEs and

Reviewers, or

b) remote manipulation of media assets by Navy Staff, NUWCD, Navy sponsors and SMEs, i.e., editing or placing assets into other programs

c) both a and b

d) other

A12: NUWC: COLLABORATION TOOLS CAN BE THOUGHT OF AS A "WEB BASED

FRAMEWORK" A VIRTUAL COLLABORATIVE SPACE WHERE STORY

DEVELOPMENT, PRE-PRODUCTION, PRODUCTION (PERHAPS IN CERTAIN

ASPECTS) AND POST-PRODUCTION MAY BE AN INTEGRATED EXPERIENCE USING

THE WEB, AND WEB BASED COLLABORATION SOFTWARE TO REMOVE

GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARIES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THIS ALLOWS THE

GOVERNMENT PRODUCER OR DIRECTOR TO SEAMLESSLY WORK WITH

CREATIVE AND TECHNICAL TALENT VIRTUALLY.

Q13: There appears on the surface some contradiction in what is to be delivered. Scope 2.0 lists what appear to be three (3) items "...a completed 30 second Public Service Announcement

(PSA), an edited high definition cinematic that is focused on Navy's Energy Security messaging, web and mobile based multimedia content for distribution across the Navy that focuses on

Navy's Energy Security messaging and one interactive display template that integrates Navy

Energy Security multimedia and cinematic elements.";

Paragraph 4.2 3rd sentence states "The contractor shall develop a completed 30 second Public

Service Announcement (PSA) edited high definition cinematic that is focused on Navy's Energy

Security messaging."

Paragraph 4.3 lists "The contractor shall produce visual communication, multimedia, interactive and data visualization products."

So are we delivering

a) a 30sec PSA, AND an HD cinematic (time TBD), AND an Interactive display template

b) just a 30sec PSA

c) something else - please clarify

A13: This PSA details will be decided upon when working on Task 4.1 Creative Development, Pre-Production Phase 1. The PSA may include filming Navy Energy Leaders as to profile their work and technologies. Creative direction, scope and limitations for the PSA will be decided during task 4.1 with Navy stakeholders.

Q14: It appears that there is a need for more profile sequences than one PSA may handle. Is the intent to capture multiple profiles sequences for use in future, modified versions of a the PSA?

A14: Depending on Task 4.1 Creative Development, Pre-Production Phase 1 there may be a need to profile more that one individual.

Q15: Is the phased integration of media elements (pg 12, box 16, #5) another phrase for delivering of the media assets, i.e., integrating (thereby delivering) the assets into the

NUWCDIVNPT's Digital Information System?

Q15: Yes
