Laika’s Oscar-nominated ‘Missing Link’ Comes to Life with Intel Technology

As moviemaking — and even the actors themselves — goes increasingly digital, Laika studios in Oregon is a unique hybrid. Most movies today are live action with visual effects added later — or they’re fully digital. Laika starts with the century-old craft of stop motion — 24 handcrafted frames per second — and uses visual effects not only to clean up those frames but to add backgrounds and characters. Like most motion picture content today, Laika rendered “Missing Link” on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors.
