    Cool information about the movie 300 (and linux)

    Post production took almost a year. The film was edited on an Avid, with an HD cut also maintained in Final Cut Pro The 3D was made using Maya, XSI, and Lightwave The 2D composites were made with Shake, Inferno, Fusion, and Combustion. The filmmakers prefer Macintosh, but large portions of the movie were made under Linux. Asset management was handled by custom software written in the Panorama development environment, made by Provue. Color management was handled by Truelight software. The film was scanned on a northlight scanner and was recorded on the arrilaser. Most of the film was shot at high speed, between 50 and 150fps. Normal film is at 24fps. The film was transferred to HD SR tape and quicktime, and HD quicktimes were the basis for the HD preview cuts. The working resolution for the film was 2K, at a working aspect ratio of 2.11 and a projected aspect ratio of 2.35.

    I saw 300 on Monday in Toronto. The visual effects are amazing.

    In my wired there is a spread on 300 and it said that for the snow scenes they rendered the snow and then they went through and individually for each snow flake adjusted falling speed and rotation to make sure that it was exactly how they wanted it.

    There is a scene with an oracle girl. The girl was shot underwater with high speed to get the fluidic effect. Also... Nippleshot. One of many in the movie.

    Anyway 300 was a very fun movie to watch and I'd reccomend anyone go see it when it is released world wide tomorrow (Friday).

    Linux is actually used very often in film production.
