Inside the Studio That Perfected 3D Movies!

Adam Hlavac and Hector Navarro sit down with the talented stereographers of SDFX Studios, Jeremy Carroll and Jason Bomstein, the team behind some of the most acclaimed 3D conversions in modern cinema. From blockbuster classics to contemporary hits, SDFX has helped bring films like Titanic, Jurassic Park, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Jaws, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and numerous Marvel Studios films into the world of immersive stereoscopic 3D. In this fascinating conversation, we pull back the curtain on the art and science of 3D conversion and discover what it really takes to transform a flat image into a convincing three-dimensional experience. The discussion explores the many misconceptions surrounding 3D conversion, revealing how modern stereography is far more than simply creating artificial depth. The SDFX team walks us through the painstaking process of rotoscoping, depth sculpting, cleanup, and shot-by-shot artistic decisions that help create believable dimensionality. They also share stories about collaborating directly with legendary filmmakers like James Cameron and Steven Spielberg, explaining how directors shape the stereoscopic language of their films and why every project requires a unique approach to depth and immersion. We also dive into how the style of 3D changes depending on the genre, whether it's the epic scale of a science-fiction adventure, the tension of a horror film, or the awe of a large-format theatrical experience. Along the way, Adam and Hector discuss their personal wish lists of movies they'd love to see converted into 3D, celebrate some of their favorite stereoscopic moments in cinema, and explore why premium theatrical formats continue to play such an important role in the future of moviegoing.
