Partial Building the web catalog and search interface is simple, but curating, categorizing, and legally licensing or segmenting thousands of video clips tagged by specific film editing techniques requires massive manual curation or specialized ML models.
What it would actually take: The platform architecture consists of a Next.js frontend, PostgreSQL with pgvector for semantic search, and AWS S3/Cloudfront for HLS video streaming. The primary bottleneck is building an automated or expert-driven video ingestion pipeline that can accurately recognize and segment cinematic cuts, camera movements, and editing transitions, paired with a substantial curated library.
