Senior producer Jim Vessella cataloged an archive of poorly labeled physical media at EA's Redwood Shores campus, including original masters of Wing Commander III and IV's full-motion-video cutscenes. A small team of contractors worked 17-hour swing shifts to label and digitize the footage, coordinating with community member Matt Wells, who has made enhancement patches for some Wing Commander games. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
