United States of America (Press Release) February 6, 2008 --
Post House Teams With 3D Production Company Melrae Pictures To Deliver Ultimate 3D/HD Theatrical Experience
MINNEAPOLIS, MN - "You are going to see a star; an astrophysical object; in three dimensions, with great resolution; for the very first time!" So begins 3D Sun, a fascinating new look at something each of us sees every day. Featuring extensive offline/online 3D editing, visual effects, color-correction and finishing by Splice Here (www.splicehere.tv), 3D SUN envisions and explains the "how and why" behind images that will be captured by STEREO, a still unfolding two-year NASA mission that relies on two nearly identical space-based observatories to provide the first-ever, high definition 3D stereoscopic images of the Sun.
"I was looking for a Minneapolis post facility with the technical capacity and artistic talent to handle a job of this size," says Melissa Butts, Executive Producer of Melrae Pictures, Minneapolis, MN. "From the outset, 3D Sun promised to require a lot of rendering and other complex work -- 3D digital cinema is definitely not for the faint-of-heart. Splice Here already had a great reputation for being very technologically adept. The company, and editor Carl Jacobs in particular, has an almost innate need to problem solve. There were a lot of stones to turn over on this project and Splice Here just never gave up."
3D Sun enables audiences to experience a 3D rocket launch of STEREO in appropriately seat-shaking 5.1 stereo sound. Together with 3D representations of the Sun, Earth, and several CMEs, 3D animation of the floating and separating spacecrafts will follow, with 3D Sun images usually only seen by NASA scientists.
Using the new version of Apple Final Cut Pro, Jacobs also contributed cinematic animations of the Earth's magnetic field to complement more photorealistic representations of the spacecraft that were provided by NASA.
