The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Overview A sophisticated color-grading process running on Dell PowerEdge servers was a triumph for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King filmmakers. The challenge: to develop and run state-of-the-art color-grading software capable of producing sophisticated color and lighting effects for post production work on feature-length films; devise a process that enables multiple workers to color-grade film simultaneously to accommodate projects of enormous scope. The solution: custom-develop software-based digital grading and finishing software; run a render program for the digital color grading software on Dell PowerEdge 2650 servers running the Red Hat Linux operating system. As a result, there was significantly improved speed and productivity by enabling multiple color graders to quickly process film footage on powerful Dell servers; a reliable platform that enables film scenes to be moved from physical film to digital-only format without risk of data loss.
