The Jim Henson Company has been entertaining children and adults alike while redefining educational programming on a global scale through its iconic characters. As digital technologies became increasingly important in creating the Henson magic, the Company recognized the need to enhance its network to support its evolving needs. To accomplish that, the Company’s world-famous animatronics, visual effects, and CG animation division known as Jim Henson’s Creature Shop turned to Brocade.
Jim Henson’s Creature Shop has deployed a new Brocade-powered network that removes obstacles to creativity and timely content development while improving overall editing productivity across the production team. The Brocade® solution has enabled the Shop to reduce data download time by 94 percent, enhance production efficiency by empowering multiple editors to work on the same job simultaneously, maximize lead times, and achieve higher visual and editorial quality.
Founded in 1955, and headquartered behind the walls of the historic Charlie Chaplin lot in Los Angeles, The Jim Henson Company relies on engineers and artists who have been exploring new ways to take puppetry to the next level. The Henson Digital Puppetry Studio, an Emmy Award-winning proprietary technology from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, features a workstation with advanced simulation capabilities driven by the Company’s own animation software engine. The workstation uses a joystick and a digital glove, enabling puppeteers to manipulate a digital puppet exactly like they would a physical puppet. This setup allows puppeteers to perform virtual characters within a real-time animation studio environment that completely replicates a three-camera, live-action shoot.
