Stereo conversion is a very detail oriented task that requires highly specialised skills.

In converting from 2d to 3d, the plates will need extensive roto and masking, and also require cleanup and reconstruction. This is very intensive work but is essential to make the result as natural and believable as possible.

We have a well trained, skilled and talented team that utilise an in-house process to do the work quickly & efficiently, getting great results, on time.

When your budget won’t allow shooting in 3d, or you need a solution for existing footage, we can turn your story into an engaging, 3d experience.
