LaserPacific provides 3D grading services in the run up to Comic Con 

The advent of digital projection and the desire to continue to attract audiences to the movie theater has led to a renewed interest in stereoscopic 3D. Now consumer electronics firms are scrambling to bring out televisions that will support 3D viewing in the home. Sony and Panasonic are both planning to introduce large screen HD TV sets with 3D capability next year and already manufacturers like Mitsubishi are offering “3D ready” sets. With more and more movies being displayed in 3D, it was natural that LaserPacific's clients would start to ask about digital intermediate tools for this new arena. With the biggest DI grading theater in Los Angeles, featuring a 33 foot screen, LaserPacific has a great environment for 3D. Screen size is very important for depth perception, so the more closely the grading environment matches an actual movie theater, the better. 

LaserPacific provides post production services for ASC/PGA Camera Assessment Series

When Vilmos Zsigmond, ASC needed to find a post production partner to work together on his very first movie that was not going to have film dailies, his choice was simple. Having worked with LaserPacific on his first digital intermediate, The Black Dahlia, he knew he could trust his images to LaserPacific. What he did not know was that LaserPacific was able to deliver his dailies in a way he thought could only be done on film. “With aIM, I now have everything I had with film, and more.”
