将高性能存储集成到坚固的移动钻机中

支持在对位置环境提出挑战时具有出色的后期生产能力

叛军舰队为一家大型好莱坞工作室进行了一个现场行动片项目。新西兰和中国的摄影原则是建立的,生产团队计划在地点捕获原始的高分辨率数据。

反叛武装舰队计划提供多种数字工作流服务,包括进行初始颜色分级和质量控制、将内容存档到数字磁带、创建夹层和代理格式进行后期制作,并将剪辑上载到安全的在线日报平台,供关键利益相关者审查。

To meet the studio’s expectations, The Rebel Fleet had to upgrade its storage. A new solution had to deliver the performance and collaborative capabilities required for onset processing of raw, high-resolution media. It also had to be dense, so it could be incorporated into a mobile rig that could be carted to remote locations.

与因子连接与量子选择

为广播和后期制作工作室设计数字工作流解决方案的阶乘公司推荐了量子存储系统,以满足崎岖的移动环境的军事级存储能力。叛军舰队选择Quantum Xcellis®工作流存储+Quantum QXS™ 用于在线和近线存储的混合存储系统。

来自叛军舰队、保理和量子的团队共同努力,快速组装和部署一台移动钻机,该平台还使用多台Apple Mac Pro计算机来摄取数据、计算校验和、归档到LTO磁带和颜色分级。钻机十天内就准备好了。

Delivering High Performance for Real-time Color Grading and Fast Rendering

高性能存储based on the StorNext® file system helped significantly accelerate workflows. “With the Quantum solution, we were able to crank out 150 frames of footage per second in three different formats while also supporting real-time color grading,” says Michael Urban, founder and managing director of The Rebel Fleet. “Overall, this online environment delivered 6 GB per second of throughput. It was very impressive, and it helped us meet tight turnaround times.”

在无处的地方无缝伸缩

StorNext平台使因子团队能够将摄取量从200 TB扩展到400 TB,同时不会中断拍摄计划。在生产过程中,Factorial团队能够在远程位置扩展系统,先前摄取的数据仍然驻留在环境中。“StorNext在现实世界中的表现完全和广告一样,真正让我们无缝地扩展系统,”保理公司的主任兼技术传道者TimBenson说。“反叛舰队队和电影制作队都很开心。”

在移动钻机中提供巨大容量

The Quantum storage systems offered the capacity for a large volume of high-resolution footage in a very dense environment. “In all, the environment processed nearly 900 TB over the course of the shoot,” says Benson. “And we managed to provide all that capacity in a rig that was the size of a deep refrigerator.”

The rig’s mobility enabled The Rebel Fleet team to set up temporary on-location review environments in very remote locations. The director, director of photography, and others could review footage, and evaluate color grades and lighting, just minutes after calling “cut.” That immediate feedback allowed the production team to make critical creative decisions and maximize on-set productivity.
