Film studios are looking to the benefits of cloud hosting and services with VFX (visual effects) studios moving to render images through the cloud.

Studios have now started to use variable cloud services such as Amazon’s EC2 cloud to render images while retaining a high level of artistic quality.

Traditionally VFX studios would render digital images through an on-site data centre, but advances in cloud hosting technology have now allowed artists to move away from a reliance on traditional methods.
