There's only 24 frames in a second for production-caliber film. They also throw an obscene number of cores at the problem. On a 12 core system you can render that out in a day. If you have 24 of those systems in a rack you can pump out one second of film time per day.

That means in a month you can deliver 30 seconds of footage. If you have a five minute sequence, get ten racks like that and you can turn it around inside a month.

Also, since when is 288 hours even close to a year?
