The production of 2D-to-3D converted films has recently surged, establishing this technique as a permanent part of the stereoscopic entertainment industry. Because conversion is a new storytelling tool, there is sometimes confusion, misunderstanding, and divergent terminology in the industry. Conversion, while a highly creative process, has a technical approach that if done improperly can result in poor quality films and physical pain on the part of the audience. The movie industry is quickly trying to educate itself on this important new art form, as evidenced by the explosion in classes, forums, and webinars on stereo.

Through case studies from Digital Domain’s recent stereoscopic conversions such as Transformers 3, Jon Karafin, Director of Production Operations for Digital Domain Media Group, will demonstrate how to convert high quality stereoscopic content through both traditional and hybrid stereoscopic production workflows. He will also review what to look for in order to articulate and identify poor quality conversion. The audience will obtain an understanding of the creative processes utilized on blockbuster films, learn when to convert materials, and gain tips on how to shoot specifically for 2D-to-3D conversion.
