Glee goes 3D

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 14:27
One of television’s most popular shows, Glee, got the 3D treatment recently. Cameron | Pace Group (CPG) utilised Grass Valley switcher technology to create a live line cut (first pre-edit) of the live action filled production of Glee Live! In Concert! for Twentieth Century Fox Television and Twentieth Century Fox Film’s co-production of the Glee: The 3D Concert Movie. It released in US theatres in August.

CPG used a Grass Valley Kayenne Video Production Center switcher during the recording of the concert movie. Grass Valley also supported CPG with on-site technical training and full event support to assure that the production crew was fully up to speed on the Kayenne, newly introduced into the state-of-the-art, fully integrated CPG mobile workflow unit, FUSION 3D Mobile Unit One. Also included in the CPG mobile unit is a Grass Valley K2 Dyno Replay System for multichannel 3D playback.

“We strive for the highest 3D quality in every production in order to tell the story in the best way possible and the Grass Valley Kayenne gave us that for Glee,” said Vince Pace, Co-Chairman and CEO of Cameron | Pace Group.

“Using the Grass Valley Kayenne during the recording of the movie was simple and easy,” said Bruno Brunelle, 3D Engineer of Cameron | Pace Group. “Kayenne gave us the tools needed to record the energy and flow of the live performance and bring to the ‘Gleeks’ (Glee fans’) the rich 3D experience they have come to expect from the US.”

Kevin Tancharoen (Fame, Mortal Kombat: Legacy series) directed the film.
