Lenovo ThinkStation: Autodesk Flame Client Profile

Smarter Reduces Delivery Times
Autodesk® Flame® artist Randy McEntee is an award-winning independentvisual effects supervisor and Flame expert who works with world class
directors, brands, ad agencies, and digital effects studios to bring theirideas to the screen.
McEntee was commissioned by Parliament
to work on a Super Bowl campaign for a top
food delivery company, a massive undertaking
requiring multiple versions and durations, alongwith teaser videos and hundreds of regional
adaptations for broadcast and online.
The Challenge: As post production efforts
become increasingly complex, agencies needto exceed client expectations while staying ontime and on budget. This Super Bowl campaign
required invisible effects, complicated set
reconstruction, the use of motion analysis andmotion vectors, re-touching, heavy denoise andregrain work, and the latest machine learning
tools found within the Flame software. In orderto bring the client’s vision to life as quickly
and efficiently as possible, Randy needed tocomplete tasks fast and to iterate with clientsin real-time.

“The Solution: After switching to the ThinkStation
P620, McEntee saw dramatic improvements in
his workflow, including significantly faster rendertimes.

With the P620, I can work in real-time andaudition all kinds of ideas for my clients.

”Randy McEntee, Flame Artist, The Department of External Services

are reduced to seconds and huge amounts offootage can be moved with ease. This can mean
the difference between hitting and missing adeadline. The P620 provides the CPU, GPU,
memory bandwidth, and fast networking
capabilities that Flame artists rely on.
