Feb. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- BURNABY, British Columbia- Seven Group has earned another special thanks movie credit in recently released Gnomeo and Juliet, an upcoming CGI animated movie released by Touchstone Pictures produced by Starz Animation. Seven Group has worked closely with Starz Animation for several years helping design their studio and supplying them with the hardware required to make CGI animated movies.

“The Seven Group has been an integral partner in building our studio. They always come to the table with fresh ideas and great solutions, we would not be where we are today without them.”  says Starz Animation’s VP of Operations, Terry Dale.

Digital studios for games, visual effects, and animation have technology requirements that are uniquely their own. The applications, custom software, and workflows found in a digital media studio are a world apart from typical enterprise IT infrastructures. High bandwidth networks, compute farms, high performance collaborative storage, and powerful digital artists’ workstations are highly specialized technologies. Assembling these elements to create an optimized pipeline requires experience and expertise that isn't easy to find.
Years spent working with major studios from around the world have helped Seven Group appreciate what it takes to produce a film, game, or television show. They understand production deadlines and a studio’s need to make things work, no matter what. Seven Group know’s all about the studio pipeline and the applications needed most. Be it modeling, compositing, editing, code development, or rendering, they can help choose the best solution from the host of available alternatives and customize it to fit specific needs.
