The current work focuses on the implementation of
audiovisual production technologies for preservation and
demonstration of local tradition and Cultural Heritage (CH). A methodological framework is proposed for the production, digitization, authoring and presentation of
audiovisual (AV) content, related to traditional music and dances. The production chain involves content restoration, description and management of archived material, direction of documentary biographies,
demonstration of folk customs and filming of chore-theatrical acts, aiming at creating historical, informative and educational video entities. User-friendly interactive environments are employed by means of media browsing menus and multilingual narration, utilizing new AV authoring. The proposed methodology has been implemented on the occasion of a folk-heritage multilingual DVD video production and its enhanced Web-TV edition
1. The paper brings forward novel theoretical, technical and mostly methodological guidelines in preserving and disseminating CH, using state of the art AV production technologies.
