Mediapro / Medialuso, together with Kronomav, were taking part in the Glauka Films project to make a film documentary about the “fallas” festival. The documentary is targeting a global market as well as Spanish viewers. It sets out to explain the festival to people who’ve never seen it, who’s behind it, why they do it, what its significance is as well as showcasing the 3D technology.

In December 2009, FIFA and Sony announced plans for 3D coverage of 25 FIFA World Cup matches. Integral in the selection and adoption of the technologies were Peter Angell, HBS director of production & programming, who served as FIFA special 3D project leader, and Duncan Humphreys, 3D consultant to HBS for the World Cup and partner in UK-based 3D production company Can Communicate. The aim was to deliver to TV-viewing soccer fans a new experience of their sports and to cheer even more about the World Cup. The tournament should help to kick off what TV makers, networks – and advertisers – hope to become a new dimension in home sports viewing and sports viewing in cinemas.

On June 25th, ACS achieved another first by using a 3D rail camera on the British Speedway Grand Prix at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff as part of Sky Sport’s live 3D coverage.

More than 100 visitors attended the 3D Road Show organised by Wellen+Nöthen in nobeo’s Studio 4 on June 11th, 2010. At this event Quantel, in conjunction with Sony and Vizrt, demonstrated a complete stereo 3D workflow for production,  post production and transmission. It was the first time the German Film and TV industry could have "Hands On 3D" from Ingest to editing and playout. In addition to Cologne the roadshow also visited Berlin and Munich.

Attracting 1.5 million people to its first event in 1985, Rock in Rio ranks comfortably among the largest music festivals in the world. Having begun in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, it has since visited Lisbon, Madrid and Las Vegas. Its growing live audience is supplemented by TV broadcasts on Globosat – this year, supported by the first use of a Lawo mc²96 Grand Production Console at a large-scale music festival.

The O2 3D Rugby broadcast produced by Inition has won the Marketing Agencies Association award for Best Communication Campaign Featuring Experiential. Inition worked with O2, Archibald Ingall Stretton and SIS Live to shoot the matches for the UK ­wide 3D cinema broadcast of England’s home games.

Feel the vertigo, the energy, the teamwork of one of the world’s most spectacular traditions: these buildings made of men, women and children who climb on one another up to 10 floors. Discover it in 3-D! Premiered in Paris last September, the aim of the film is to present human towers to the world in a way that has never been done before. The Castellers de Vilafranca, one of the most important human tower groups, will participate in the presentation of this spectacular 3D movie with a human tower.

Anticipating the boom in popularity of 3D, Canon has been actively engaged with HD camera manufacturers, 3D rig specialists, and enterprising content creators presently exploring 3D program origination in moviemaking, as well as television coverage of sports, concerts, and special events.

The Erlangen Theatre has comprehensively modernised its audio technology. CRESCENDO-T, a 32-fader mixing console from Berlin-based Stage Tec, was installed in an existing NEXUS network. The NEXUS components of this network, some of which are 14 years old, were inspected and renewed as needed, and a Base Device and router were added. As part of this revamp, an interesting audio installation was set up to enable the theatre to use two PA systems in parallel: the classic and a 3D audio system.

The state of 3D production is a controversial topic. Some SVG members have outright said that “3D is Dead,” while others believe that “These things take time.” Meanwhile, on the horizon are a new spate of ultra-high resolution formats — 4K, high-frame rates, etc. — that may be an even greater game changer for the sports video experience.
