[Hudlug] Linux in films

[Anne Wilson]

There was a conversation on Monday about Linux in films, and I said that I 
had read a good article.  It was in this month's Linux Format.  To quote 
briefly -

...Linux has infiltrated the film world with all the stealth and finesse of a 
small, green Jedi Knight.

In June Disney became the latest of the Holywood studios t discover the joys 
of Linux....... Migration to Linux in the US film industry has been both 
swift and comprehensive, beginning in the 'farms' rendering images for 
blockbusters such as Titanic and Antz, and, in just a few years, infiltrating 
the workstations of Hollywood to such an extent that Dreamworks' latest 
assault on the Disney animation crown - Spirit: Stallion of the Dimarron - is 
said to be the first feature film created totally on Linux..........

Much more on these lines, both in film and DVD.  If you're interested it's in 
Linux Format 31, August 2002, and should be in the shops now.  Or try
