The power of HP technology and the creativity of DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. fuse once again as the studio’s final chapter to the Shrek film series, Shrek Forever After, hits theatres in Europe this summer in 3-D.

Audiences will experience an army of green ogres, hundreds of dancing witches and all of the original Shrek characters as never seen before – in spectacular 3-D.

The film’s technological breakthroughs are made possible in part by HP technology, which powered the development of the entire Shrek series, from start to finish.

DreamWorks Animation’s render farm for Shrek Forever After, a grouping of computers that work in concert to process animation sequences, was the largest and most powerful render farm ever used in the studio’s production of a computer graphics animated film.

Using the most current animation tools, and having them supported by HP’s cutting-edge products, Shrek Forever After became a living lab of new technologies being used in remarkable ways.

From Z800 Workstations driving story artists using Cintiq tablets to DreamColor Displays and printers to ensure colour accuracy across the studios, HP supports and enables DreamWorks Animation.
