Systems and methods for video/audio production and architecture to optimize unused capacity

An apparatus for providing resources to a user device via a time-limited production architecture, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory coupled with the one or more processors and storing processor-executable code that, when executed by the one or more processors, is configured to cause the apparatus to:
• receive, from the user device, a request for resources associated with a type of project;
• identify a set of resources based on receiving the request, each resource of the set of resources associated with one or more respective devices remotely located from the user device, each resource associated with a respective time frame of availability;
• prioritize the set of resources in accordance with user selection of one or more priority criteria from a set of priority criteria, the set of priority criteria including the respective time frame of availability of each production resource, a respective quality metric of each resource of the set of resources, a respective price of each resource of the set of resources, and the type of project, the respective quality metric of each resource being based, at least in part, on user feedback;
• transmit, to the user device, a first message indicating the prioritized set of resources and the respective time frame of availability of each resource;
• receive, from the user device, a second message indicating a two or more resources from the prioritized set of resources in accordance with transmitting the first message, the two or more resources having been selected by a user associated with the user device in response to transmitting the first message;
• and
• establish the time-limited production architecture between the user device and each device of the one or more respective devices associated with each resource of the two or more resources based on receiving the second message from the user device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon for providing resources to a user device via a time-limited production architecture, the program code executed by one or more processors and comprising:

• program code to receive, from the user device, a request for resources associated with a type of project;
• program code to identify a set of resources based on receiving the request, each resource of the set of resources associated with one or more respective devices remotely located from the user device, each resource associated with a respective time frame of availability;
• program code to prioritize the set of resources in accordance with user selection of one or more priority criteria from a set of priority criteria, the set of priority criteria including the respective time frame of availability of each production resource, a respective quality metric of each resource of the set of resources, a respective price of each resource of the set of resources, and the type of project, the respective quality metric of each resource being based, at least in part, on user feedback;
• program code to transmit, to the user device, a first message indicating the prioritized set of resources and the respective time frame of availability of each resource;
• program code to receive, from the user device, a second message indicating a two or more resources from the prioritized set of resources in accordance with transmitting the first message, the two or more resources having been selected by a user associated with the user device in response to transmitting the first message;
• and
• program code to establish the time-limited production architecture between the user device and each device of the one or more respective devices associated with each resource of the two or more resources based on receiving the second message from the user device.
