PRELIMINARY PROGRAM

SPECIAL SESSION ON 3D IN CINEMA

MAY 21, 2008 (Wednesday)

LOS ANGELES CONVENTION CENTER

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.

Session Co-Chairs

Brian Schowengerdt, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, U.S.A.

Brian Berkeley, Samsung Electronics, Asan-si, Chungnam-do, Korea

SID is very pleased to present an afternoon of invited presentations by speakers working at the cutting edge of the

resurgent 3D cinema industry. The talks will span the full pipeline of the 3D movie process, from content creation

(animation and live action), to editing and post production, to stereoscopic theatrical display. Real D will provide

stereoscopic projection equipment and viewing glasses for all audience members, enabling the speakers to show

illustrative clips from their bodies of work—including

U2 3D

,

Beowulf

,

Meet the Robinsons, Monster House,

Chicken Little,

and

The Polar Express

. See how the characteristics of 3D display technologies shape every aspect of

the movie creation process.

Session 1:

Wednesday, May 21 / 2:15 pm – 3:35 pm / Concourse 150-152

2:15 pm

Introductory Remarks

2:20 pm

It's Not Real Life: Stereoscopic Content Creation,

Phil McNally, Dreamworks Animation

3D movie-making can be thought of as a 3D to 3D conversion process, as ‘real life’ space is different from the

recreated space in a stereoscopic theater or monitor. Creative decisions are shaped by the potential of spatial

storytelling pushing against the limitations of the technical processes, the audience’s ability to view the content, and

the social expectation of 'the movie experience', where the accepted monoscopic camera and editing styles may not

be compatible with stereoscopic movie space. How much of this do we understand and how much more needs to be

invented?

2:45 pm

Adapting "3D" CG Films for "3D" Presentation: The Technique and Technology,

Rob Engle, Sony Pictures

Imageworks

Sony Pictures Imageworks has now produced four stereoscopic films which have been released in film and digital

3D venues.

From "The Polar Express: An IMAX 3D Experience" to "Beowulf", this talk will review our past work

with an emphasis on how the capabilities and limitations of technology influence the art.

3:10 pm

Stereoscopic Live Action: Content Capture and Post Production

, Steve Schklair, 3ality Digital Systems

When shooting live action with two camera heads, it is critical that the captured images be properly coordinated to a

fine tolerance in order to ensure a high-quality image when presented on a stereoscopic display. This talk will

discuss methods and tools to achieve such coordination throughout filming and post-production, using examples

from the production of “U2 3D”.

3:35 pm

Break

Session 2:

Wednesday, May 21 / 3:55 pm – 5:15 pm / Concourse 150-152

3:55 pm

Introductory Remarks

4:00 pm

Post Production for Stereoscopic Movies,

Norman Rouse, Quantel

Post production of stereoscopic content usually takes place on non-stereoscopic systems working in conventional

pipelines that have been adapted for a stereo project. Now, dedicated stereo post production products are coming

onto the market for stereo films, broadcasting, special events, and other applications. This talk looks at the latest

techniques of stereo post and invites debate on monitoring stereo projects in different environments with different

delivery requirements.

4:25 pm

Dolby 3D Digital Cinema,

Jeff

McNall, Dolby Laboratories

Dolby has introduced a revolutionary new technology that is now being used by movie theatres worldwide to present

3D stereoscopic features.

It is a unique 3D cinema viewing experience based on color separation technology that

doesn't require the use of active shutter glasses or the installation of a silver screen.

4:50 pm

3D Exhibition in the Digital Age: Bringing a New Dimension to Entertainment,

Rod

Archer, Real D

The digital cinema projector has proven to be the platform on which stereoscopic cinema presentation is at last

possible.

These projectors solve the first challenge of 3D cinema, presenting two movies at once: the left and right

eye views.

The final challenge in 3D exhibition is to enable the audience to see these two movies stereoscopically,

separating the right and left images into the correct eyes of the audience.

There are three fundamental ways to

accomplish this separation; with time, color, and polarization.

This talk will present practical ways to use each of

these methods in public exhibition theaters and explain their benefits and detriments.

Shared Q&A Session:

Wednesday, May 21 / 5:15 pm – 6:00 pm / Concourse 150-152
