Frantic Films provides a variety of pre- and post-production visualization services to filmmakers and advertisers, relying on NVIDIA graphics to support the efforts of their creative teams. The Directors and production crews require the ability to preview scenes and sets in real time, making changes on the fly. The creative team at Frantic must also be able to deliver stunning visual effects for the final production, including completely realistic fluids, surfaces, and lighting. The power of the NVIDIA Quadro platform supports interactive manipulation of virtual sets for efficient pre-production planning. The power of the NVIDIA Cg shading language allows the incorporation of more, realistic surfaces, materials, and lighting throughout entire scenes for high-quality previews and highly satisfied clients.
