Additional Conference Information:
Converting from 2D-to-3D has now become the norm for Hollywood blockbusters not shot in stereoscopic 3D, including films such as Thor, Avengers and Iron Man. At the same time, a slew of re-releases of old films in 3D has shown that there is considerable fortunes to be made from old classics in the new format, including Lion King, Toy Story, Titanic and Top Gun. More than three years on from the release of “Clash of The Titans”, the question is whether 2D-to-3D conversion has finally come of age and can measure up to the standards set by native 3D productions. This panel pulls together the leading companies responsible for some of the biggest 2D-to-3D conversion projects of the last few years: Prime Focus, Legend3D and Stereo D have between them worked on new films and re-releases that have collectively grossed over $1.5bn at the international box office. They will showcase some of their latest work, as well as discussing the evolution that the conversion process has undergone, including unique and proprietary solutions developed.
SEE YOU THERE!
