Pixelution Equips Spider Eye For New Disney Series

Pixelution, a leading specialist UK reseller to the film, television and broadcast industry, has just provided animation company, Spider Eye with a host of cutting-edge technology for a new Disney series.
Spider Eye will be using the systems and equipment Pixelution installed for work on the high-profile Disney animation series made up of 52 eleven-minute episodes for Playhouse Disney.
Pixelution delivered two impressive HD capable edit suites which included TVLogic Broadcast Monitors; as well as a 160-core render farm; twelve high-end work stations; seventeen mid-range workstations; two 16-Terrabyte servers and a gigabit laser-link between two of Spider Eye's premises in Cornwall.
Spider Eye's Managing Director, Morgan Francis, states: "This is the first TV series to be commissioned by Playhouse Disney outside of the US and as such puts quite a burden on Spider Eye to ensure a very smooth production. Part of our strategy was to avoid large bulk resellers and go for the personal touch that Pixelution can provide. Being able to speak to the boss, discuss all aspects of equipment, installation and ongoing support on a daily basis is an absolute must for us."
Spider Eye, based in London and Cornwall, produce 2D traditional, digital and 3D animation for TV and film. Apart from many other projects, they have also worked on the Oscar-winning film 'Father & Daughter' with well-known director Michael Du Dok Dewitt, who won the acclaimed Oscar award for this project.
Pixelution custom built most of the equipment in their own workshops. Giles Parker, MD of the company, explained: "The reason customers like Spider Eye come to us is because they know we have the experience, knowledge and track record to specify, build and support the best performing, most reliable equipment for a given budget. It has been a privilege to work with Morgan and his team in Cornwall and London on this high profile project."
