3ality Digital and RED Digital Cinema announced a new stereoscopic 3D partnership to train professional and aspiring filmmakers to create clear and pristine 3D images.
“The biggest tent pole movies shooting on the planet right now, like The Hobbit, are all shooting S3D on EPIC and 3ality Digital,” said Ted Schilowitz of RED Digital Cinema. “The teams at RED and 3ality Digital have been working together for years behind the camera on various movie projects. Now is the right time to take that relationship to the next level and integrate education components for the community.”
As the primary stereoscopic 3D partner for RED, 3ality Digital lent its technology, currently being used in feature films such as The Amazing Spiderman and Jack the Giant Killer, to REDucation’s recent open house. 3ality Digital’s TS-5 featured Epic cameras, which generated a great deal of interest from REDucation participants and other industry professionals.
“S3D is here to stay and choosing partners at the forefront of the technology that really grasp what true, high-resolution cinema and S3D are all about is essential for business and for the community,” said Steve Schklair, CEO of 3ality Digital. “Educating filmmakers and getting RED and 3ality Digital technology in their hands at events like REDucation is a crucial step towards accelerating and facilitating S3D content production and ultimately consumer adoption.”
The ongoing partnership will also include collaboration at the Camp RED youth summer program August 1-19, where the new partners will provide young filmmakers with training in S3D production. Students ages 9-15 will shoot their own S3D films at RED Studios Hollywood during the week-long day camp sessions, including an exclusive, behind-the-scenes trip to 3ality Digital Studios.
