LIGHTSPEED PRESENTS 3D FILMMAKING SYSTEM AT SMPTE MEETING, NEW YORK

New York, NY- October, 2007: Lightspeed Design President, Chris Ward,today presented “A Systematized Visual Pipeline for Digital Stereoscopic 3D filmmaking” at a meeting of The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Pre-Conference Symposium on Stereoscopic Production.

SMPTE is the leading technical society for the motion imaging industry. SMPTE was founded in 1916 to advance theory and development in the motion imaging field. SMPTE Pre-Conference Symposium

Stereoscopic 3D display technology has experienced dramatic advancements within the past few years. Installations of 3D systems for digital cinema are fast approaching 1000 screens worldwide. In addition, 3D displays are also being proposed for consumer home theater, video games and point-of-sale advertising. If stereoscopic displays begin appearing in consumer homes for gaming and home theater, will 3D television follow?

“A Systematized Visual Pipeline for Digital Stereoscopic 3D Filmmaking”
Digital tools are transforming stereoscopic 3D content creation and delivery, creating the opportunity for broad acceptance and success in the marketplace for stereoscopic 3D films. While at the current time this success is primarily centered on computer-generated animation, a powerful and efficient ‘systematized’ WYSIWYG Pipeline for Digital Stereoscopic 3D Film-Making is described which allows the efficient, intuitive and accurate creation and integration of multiple disparate elements into stereo 3D, be they CGI, live-action, stop-motion or 2D. This efficiency enables producers and directors to quickly expand their vision to a high-quality stereoscopic 3D product without becoming a dedicated ‘3D house’ themselves.
