TerraBlock Simplifies Editing For Bethesda
For Video Producer Matt Killmon and Associate Video Producer Sal Goldenberg of video games producer Bethesda Softworks no two days are ever the same
Every day brings a unique, new set of video production tasks and challenges amid Bethesda’s burgeoning project load and video department expansion brought about the need for a more efficient method of sharing assets and collaboration. Matt Killmon said: “The storage I’d inherited was end of life and no longer supported by the manufacturer. With 9TB of existing, irreplaceable data on that aging storage, I knew we needed a fast solution that could be easily shared and had room to grow with us.” New to shared storage, Killmon enlisted guidance from the Creative Cow forums and ultimately purchased the Facilis TerraBlock 24 EX SAN in July 2011 from Digital Video Group. He said: “After comparing four different solutions, TerraBlock best suited our needs for speed, expandability, and flexible access for both Mac OS X and Windows. Now that we have a SAN like TerraBlock, the thought of going back terrifies me!” “TerraBlock has made our lives as editors much simpler. We spend less time worrying about capture sessions, or where to find an asset, and more time producing quality content,” Killmon continued. “Plus, the expandability of the TerraBlock means growing the department further is no sweat. Knowing I have an infrastructure in place that is built for expansion is a huge weight off my shoulders.” Killmon said: “When our old storage system reached capacity,

a take longer than seven minutes would drop frames and fail. In live capture from game consoles, dropped frames mean lost takes. That simply doesn’t happen on the TerraBlock – full volume or not.” TerraBlock has been used for a number of recent projects including gameplay videos for both ‘RAGE’ and ‘Skyrim,’ and a trailer for the final Fallout: New Vegas DLC, ‘Lonesome Road’. Killmon said: “TerraBlock is fast, really fast. Much of our live game capture is 720p60 ProRes, which the TerraBlock could do in its sleep. 720p60 8-bit YUV is no sweat either. When we eventually populate the other 12 bays with drives and can span volumes across both ‘sides,’ we’ll have enough bandwidth to easily capture or play back multiple 1080p60 8-bit YUV streams at the same time. I love that I can do whatever I want on the system without impinging others’ activities.” TerraBlock has accelerated Matt and Sal’s turnaround by enabling quick access to the same files simultaneously. “The most palpable time savings with the TerraBlock have been in the encoding process. Being able to create master files on a TerraBlock volume from a Mac and then immediately access those same files in our Windows Media encoding software on a PC has eliminated a huge time-consuming step from our workflow,” said Killimon. In the future Bethesda plans to leverage TerraBlock and CatDV to develop an in-house asset management system. ■
