AMD Technology Used For Special Effects in Machete Movie
AMD today unveiled its close collaboration with Troublemaker Studios to produce the striking visual effects for the action epic “Machete”, a project for the studio that saw the Troublemaker team finalize more than 500 shots, a personal best made possible with AMD graphics and computing technology. Directed and conceived by Robert Rodriguez (director of “Predators”, “Sin City”, and “Shorts”), and featuring an all-star cast including Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro, Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Alba, “Machete” is set to revitalize the action genre.
For “Machete”, Troublemaker Studios made use of a unique mix of high-performance AMD hardware, including AMD FirePro V8800 professional graphics accelerators and six-core AMD Opteron processor-based workstations to produce the film on a compressed schedule. A team of ten artists with a post-production period of only six months accomplished 500 final shots with AMD’s platform technology, a personal best for Rodriguez and his Troublemaker Studios team.
