“One of the core missions of 3net and our parent companies is to shepherd the emergence and proliferation of 3D television by combining our resources, expertise and experience to provide the most extensive tools and resources available today to the world’s 3D production community,” said Cosgrove.  “The hands-on knowledge garnered by our collective companies provides an unprecedented resource – not only our current production partners – but for all of those involved in this dynamic medium.”

The 50-page illustrated manual includes detailed information garnered from the combined 50 years of experience in the area of 3D from those who contributed to its creation.  The guide outlines in detail all of the facets involved in creating top-quality 3D content for television, from initial workflow planning, to production, post production, stereographic correction and final delivery.

The 3D Production Guide is a living document outlining current best practices in the area of 3D production for television. It is the result of extensive contributions from the 3D experts of 3net’s partner companies Discovery Communications, Sony Corporation and IMAX Corporation.  The guide was authored by Bert Collins, Josh Derby, Bruce Dobrin, Don Ecklund, Buzz Hays, Jim Houston, George Joblove and Spencer Stephens, with Bert Collins and Josh Derby serving as editors.  It will be constantly updated and amended as the dynamics of 3D television production continue to evolve.

The 3D Production Guide is available for download via the News section of 3net.com.
