Case Study: FOX achieves seamless 6K post-production workflows with OpenDrives

FOX reduces reel load time from 8 minutes to under 90 seconds with OpenDrives

The post-production team for the film 'Gone Girl' at FOX faced a significant challenge in managing a 6K workflow, which required an enterprise storage system capable of handling extremely high-performance demands. They needed to support real-time playback and transformations of massive files, enable concurrent editing and VFX work on a centralized system, and ensure seamless integration across both Mac and Windows platforms.

opendrives implemented its all-flash Atlas storage solution to centralize the entire workflow. This allowed editors and VFX artists to work concurrently, drastically reduced project load times, and delivered the necessary performance for smooth 6K scrubbing and playback. The solution resulted in a 200% faster recomposition of completed composites compared to traditional methods, enabling FOX and David Fincher to successfully complete the first-ever 6K post-production workflow.
