Award-winning VFX studio Frantic Films VFX, a division of Prime Focus Group, created all that and more as lead visual effects provider for the recently released film, Journey to the Center of the Earth, the first fully live-action VFX-driven feature released in 3D. Frantic’s secret? The not-so-easy but infinitely rewarding process of developing and deploying a set of custom plug-ins for eyeon’s Digital Fusion 5, called Awake, to guide the 3D VFX workflow during what could have been a hellacious ride. The software arm of the studio has also made those plugs available to everyone else starting down the 3D road.

Sean Konrad's quote from Hitchcock about moving the camera right and left is quite interesting... especially given the fact that Hitch himself directed a 3D film, "Dial M for Murder!" (I had the pleasure of actually viewing this film in its original format many, many years ago.)

Thanks for sharing, Larry. It just goes to show that once again, Hitch was one step, or dimension, ahead of the rest.

I'd love to see the original Dial M for Murder 3D. I've seen the non-3D version a few times, but from what I've read the 3D was very well used.
