The Mill recently won the 7th Annual Visual Effects Society Award for their work in a Doctor Who episode ‘Silence in the Library’ (One of my personal favorites).  Then used the CINEMA4D system on Mac Pro’s to generate the images.

According to The Mill s Lead Digital Matte Painter Simon Wicker CINEMA 4D and its Advanced Render 3 module played a vital role “The results were amazing. I could render a 175 frame camera animation at widescreen PAL resolution overnight on a Mac Pro without a trace of GI flicker. Without that these shots would never have been completed on time. CINEMA 4D has always been bulletproof for my work.”
