Dual AMD Opteron Digital Video Workstations used for Sin City Movie
AMD announced that dual AMD Opteron processor-based workstations and servers from Verari Systems were used throughout the production pipeline for maverick director Robert Rodriguez’ (Spy Kids, Once Upon A Time in Mexico) latest all-digital feature. “Sin City,” based on the acclaimed Frank Miller comic book, opened april 12t in movie theaters across the United States.
The power of AMD64 technology with Direct Connect Architecture allows cutting-edge filmmakers like Robert Rodriguez to redefine the rules of production. No actual “film” was used in the process. Digital artists under Rodriguez’ direction at his Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas, used AMD64 technology-based workstations and servers running Avid’s Softimage XSI software on top of Microsoft’s Windows XP Pro operating system to pre-visualize scenes, create and render high definition (HD) digital composites, add visual effects, edit and produce a final HD digital master.
“The process used to be a linear write-shoot-edit, fix-it-in-post sequence. That’s gone,” said Rodriguez. “AMD64 technology gives me the power to be in the moment, to explore ideas and create at the speed of thought as we produce. It’s a non-linear, organic process that allows me to tap the creative potential of the entire production team. The way we made “Sin City” would have been impossible without the speed and reliability of AMD64 technology.”
AMD64 technology allows creators to bring their imaginative visions to the screen in ways audiences have never seen before.
“Robert Rodriguez is the rare artist who exploits new technology in a way that simultaneously satisfies his creative visions and blazes a new path for others to follow,” said Charlie Boswell, director of Digital Media & Entertainment at AMD. “Sin City demonstrates the possibilities of AMD64 as an extremely powerful and cost-effective artistic production tool. With AMD64, access to state-of-the-art production power is no longer the domain of large studios and big budgets. Now anybody editing their home videos or photos can use what the pros use on AMD64.”
