Follow on Google News | Oasis Imagery Demonstrates New “Live 3D” SystemOasis Imagery recently hosted the first public demonstration of a revolutionary new system for the production of live, broadcast-quality stereoscopic 3D.
By: Oasis Imagery This new “live 3D” production system, which combines 3D technology developed by Instant Effects and workflow designed by Oasis Imagery, has significant implications for the production of 3D films and for broadcast 3DTV. In feature film production, the system could be used as a low-cost way to pre-visualize 3D scenes either in pre-production or on the set. As a 3DTV application, it could be used to produce live 3D broadcast segments for news shows, sports shows and other programming. “As a pre-visualization tool, the benefits are enormous,” said Barbour. “Instead of working with models on a desktop, you can try out 3D effects on a stage. We can key in a background, place live talent or wireframe characters into that environment, and then manipulate it to see how well it works. It allows you to view effects using the right focal length, the right inter-axial and the right convergence— Barbour also foresees applications for the system in game production. “It is an excellent solution for motion capture material,” he said. “It allows you to see actors moving through a 3D environment and interacting with sets and objects in real-time.” Perhaps most significantly, the “live 3D” system can take some of the guesswork out of 3D production and therefore make it more affordable and predictable. “Most producers and directors are still learning what 3D can do,” observed Instant Effects CEO Don Brittain. “So, the ability to get instant feedback is critical. That can result in considerable savings for productions by avoiding costly reshoots and post production fixes.” Brittain noted that, while the system will not be ready for production use for a few more months, those who saw it in action at the 3D Film Festival were very impressed by the possibilities. “From a production standpoint, it was beautiful,” he said. “To witness live 3D in a fully decked out 3D theater—you couldn’t ask for anything better.” # # # About Oasis Imagery Located in the heart of Hollywood, Oasis Imagery’s production retreat specializes in technologically- End
