New technology for use in pre-vis and broadcast

Oasis Imagery will host an opening night reception to kick-off Hollywood’s 1st 3D Film Festival (3DFF) on Thursday, September 30th at 8:00 p.m. As part of the evening’s festivities, guests will be presented with a world premiere demonstration of a new 3D technology for use in pre-visualization and broadcast, developed and presented by Oasis Imagery Chief Visionary Officer Scot Barbour and Chief Technical Officer Adam Green.
Oasis Imagery, launched last month, operates one of the industry’s first facilities built from the ground up to support 3D and file-based production. The 27,000 square foot facility provides production and post services to studios and independent filmmakers, and offers particular expertise in stereoscopic workflows. Its facility includes a purpose-built, 50-seat, digital intermediate grading theater equipped with THX, Dolby-certified sound, and supporting RealD, Dolby 3D and XpanD projection. The company also provides on-set production and visual effects supervision, multiple 3D capable editorial and color correction suites, an 1800-square foot, 3D/2D insert stage, and a 5.1 audio mixing suite.

The 3D Film Festival (3DFF), directed by Christopher Crescitelli and Karen Annarino, is the first international 3D film festival in the United States. The 4-day event will include screenings of 10 features and 10 shorts, as well as 3D seminars, classes and after-parties. The Los Angeles Film School in Hollywood serves as the festival’s home and primary screening venue, with additional events held at Oasis Imagery. 3DFF is supported by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, and Los Angeles city councilman Eric Garcetti serves on the festival’s board. The festival is a marquee event for the booming Sunset and Vine community with the famed W Hollywood hotel serving as the festival’s official hotel and venue for several activities.
