You can never
have enough.
By Randi Altman
What is the best kind of storage? The kind you don't
have to worry about. That is, across the board, the
consensus from visual effects pros.
With 2K, 4K and stereo projects coming into studios, storage is more important than ever, and having
a system that is fast, flexible and able to grow with
artists' needs hits home. Also important? Not needing
a small electrical plant to power the system or having
to break the bank to keep things cool.
THE CREATIVE-CARTEL

City manages projects from camera to DI, providing everything
from engineering digital pipelines to near-set lab and dailies services
on location to VFX and stereo production management. Their
