Flying Monsters 3D with David Attenborough for Sky 3D, has become the first 3D documentary to win a BAFTA for the Specialist Factual category. Attenborough's venture into the prehistoric era brings a magnificent view of an unobserved world back to life on 3D television and the giant IMAX screen, through the latest cutting-edge technology, including SGO Mistika, the most powerful stereoscopic 3D toolset in the industry. Mistika was used for all the stereo 3D, 2D and 3D IMAX post work, by London's On Sight.
Due to the enormous scale of the project, On Sight networked two Mistika systems together on super-performance Hewlett Packard Z800 workstations and 24" monitors in order to improve efficiency where the online workload could be shared in real-time. This set-up, using Mistika, enabled the Mistika VFX & Stereo 3D Artists, Andy Lee and Miguel Caamaño at On Sight to work on specific tasks and thus maintain efficiency.
Andy Shelley, COO of On Sight stated: “ The Mistika platform, supported by Hewlett Packard Z800 workstations, provided incredible flexibility, efficiency and stereo 3D workflows, which allowed for real-time adjustments, which was great for the client to be able to see immediate results in the finishing suite. Mistika's incredible power in stereo 3D has opened opportunities for film-makers to create exciting content now and in the future.”
The visually stunning “Flying Monsters 3D with David Attenborough” IMAX Première took place earlier in May at the BFI in London and is now showing at IMAX cinemas across the country in Stereo 3D.
