Overview
Lola VFX is a premier visual effects studio known for altering actors' onscreen appearances. As industry standards shifted to high-resolution 4K–8K footage, massive file sizes created severe bottlenecks, preventing real-time media playback and slowing down collaboration for global artists.
Solution
Lola VFX implemented the VAST AI OS, a scalable, high-performance shared data platform featuring a unified global namespace. It gives 60 global Autodesk Flame artists real-time, low-latency access to heavy media files without the need for manual file copying or RAM caching.
Results
VAST delivered real-time 4K playback and enabled seamless global collaboration at 64 GB/s aggregate throughput. An unexpected 2:1 data compression ratio maximized capacity, cutting administration overhead and shortening ROI from 24–36 months down to just 15–18 months.
