Derek Chan, head of technology for global operations at DreamWorks, recently stopped by the Intel® Chip Chat podcast to talk about the marriage of art and technology.</p> <p>The company brings the world’s greatest artists and technologists together during their pitches. Artists talk through their wildest stories and plot ideas and the technologists find a way to make those dreams come true through technological advancements. Derek believes we’re now at a time when imagination is no longer limited by our technology – but possibly still by cost!<br /><br /><img src="http://kapost-files-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/asset/file/4fe292358b4f9900010002a0/mad3-026.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="250" /></p> <p>And powering DreamWorks’ technology infrastructure are Intel® processors. Derek jokes that Shrek’s Law means they’ll “always want more than more.” With the newest generation of Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family and software optimization tools, DreamWorks takes advantage of increased performance (the “more than more”) and other benefits to continue to deliver delightful movie experiences.</p> <p><strong><a href="http://soundcloud.com/intelchipchat/moores-law-meets-shreks-law">Click here</a> to listen the podcast with Derek Chan to learn more about the power of technology in making films at Dreamworks.</strong></p> <!-- BEGIN KAPOST ANALYTICS CODE --> <script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[ var _kapost_data = _kapost_data || []; _kapost_data.push([1, "4fd0c8242efec80001002793", "4fce8087be00400001000135", "4fce7dcb63af1f0001000117", escape("Media")]); (function() { var ka = document.createElement('script'); ka.async=true; ka.id="kp_tracker"; ka.src="http://savoy-prod.heroku.com/javascripts/tracker.js"; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ka, s); })(); // ]]></script> <!-- END KAPOST ANALYTICS CODE -->
