Sony Pictures Imageworks produces special effects for movies. We did all the special effects for Beowulf, Spider-man 1, 2 and 3 and many others. Our website is http://www.imageworks.com/ .

We’re using Scala to write middle-tier software to manage terabytes of digital assets, from digital asset management, disk storage and disk backup management. We use a mix of other technologies, including Ice for our networking/RPC layer and Spring for dependency injection and JDBC.
