To create Avatar, Lightstorm Entertainment said it is employing an all-digital virtual filming environment with performance capture technology and Pace/Cameron's Fusion Camera System.
"Our unique and highly demanding workflow creates terabytes of data on a weekly and even daily basis, necessitating a storage solution with the scalability and high performance to efficiently manage our data and accelerate production," said Jon Landau, Producer, Lightstorm Entertainment. "Isilon clustered storage is so hands off, we simply turn it on and go to work."
"High-definition, 3D filmmaking is the next phase in the evolution of motion pictures and represents an unprecedented opportunity for Hollywood to capture audiences like never before," said Steve Fitz, Senior VP, Global Field Operations, Isilon Systems. "Lightstorm's production of Avatar is pioneering this next generation of filmmaking and its never-before-attempted production techniques are laying the groundwork for the rest of Hollywood to follow its lead."
The Avatar production generates terabytes of data in various formats, including digital files used in creating Avatar's all-digital, virtual filming environment, small metadata and instructional files, still frames for review, and large media files from Avid systems.
