Creating Hugo, Martin Scorseseâ €™s first 3-D movie, took a lot of imagination. But it also took a lot of processing power — one fantastic scene alone would have taken 19.5 years to render if just a single computer had been used. RENDERING just one version of one shot of the film — the swooping view into the train station, shown at the beginning of the movie — took 171,015 hours of processing time. CLICK HERE
