In the Summer of of 2007, Norman Rouse (pictured, left) & Mark Horton (right) of Quantel, with a team of demonstrators and technicians, began a 12 month project to tour the world's production centres.
Their mission was to raise awareness of stereoscopic 3-D and promote Quantel's post production solutions.
With the tour at an end, I visited Quantel HQ in Newbury to find out what they learned and hear some of the stories they brought back with them.
To hear our conversation, visit The Broader Issue, where you will also find 5 further discussion programmes on the subject of stereoscopic 3-D, plus two accompanying series, on 'File-based Workflows' & 'Colour'.
Also on the site, there's the BROADniche archive, which contains programmes on a wide range of subjects, from outsourcing visual effects work and the growth in digital media distribution to media law and business process management
At IBC this year, Quantel won several awards, including the IBC Judges & Innovation Awards, for their work in stereoscopic 3-D, and in particular their involvement in the post production of 'Hannah Montana'.
