INTERVIEW: 3D and Stereo Conversion!

Mike Eisenberg of ScreenRant.com conducted an interview with Warehouse 1904 co-founder and stereo enthusiast Adam Hlavac about the rise of 3D and what he thinks the future has in store for us in the 3D world.  Here’s an except from the article:

It also never hurts to better understand what goes into these releases and who the people working on them are. You may be surprised at how much the technicians behind the scenes do to make 3D as immersive as possible.

Adam Hlavac is currently a stereoscopic depth artist working for Stereo D in Burbank, CA. Previously, he held the same position at Legend3D in San Diego, CA, working on such films as Shrek, The Green Hornet, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and most recently on the 3D conversion of Top Gun. As a stereo artist, Hlavac takes the native 2D footage that is captured on set and creates a stereo pair, or “both eyes” of a 3D image. This is done through various techniques along with the help of some high-end compositing and proprietary software. Every post-production studio has their own pipeline for how they go about doing conversion, but in the end it’s about creating 3D that is pleasant to watch and doesn’t distract you from the point of interest. Hlavac also recently produced his first feature film called Delta Zulu, which is currently in post-production and will be hitting the film festival circuit soon.
