Corpse Bride made with G5's and FCP

Apple has posted a feature in the Pro section of their site detailing Corpse Bride and its journey of more than 10 years in the making. The feature interviews Jonathan Lucas, the movie's editor, and covers some of the intricate details in the no-room-for-error world of expensive stop-motion filming. Among the details is the fact that Corpse Bride was edited in Final Cut Pro on five Power Mac G5's, using an Xserve RAID and Xsan to help manage the virtual mountain of storyboards, sound effects and still images used for the film. In a testament to Final Cut Pro's power and ease of use, Lucas also says it took him two weeks to master FCP, saying he could work a lot faster and more efficiently than in Avid.
