Daniel Craig as James Bond crossing a London street in a grey suit, in No Time to Die

Stereo supervision on the first Bond film released in stereo 3D, with the depth designed to follow the story.

What it was

No Time to Die was the first Bond film in stereo 3D. Eon turned to Chris Parks and Vision3 for a result worthy of 007, and Chris worked with director Cary Joji Fukunaga and Eon on a 3D treatment that was sensitive to the tradition of the franchise while still taking what stereo can add to a film.

The title sequence, designed by Daniel Kleinman, is where the stereo shows most. Stereo alters the sense of scale, and through the sequence the signature objects, the Aston Martin, the guns, the hourglasses, the pendulum and Bond himself, are realised at full size or as toys, in harmony with Kleinman's design.

Through the main body of the film the depth follows its own curve: pushed back into the frame in the scenes where Bond faces adversity, and biased towards the foreground when he is relaxed and on top of things, for the intimacy of those moments.

Technical approach

Stereo supervision by Chris Parks; 3D production and the depth grade at Vision3.

In their words

That's only the beginning, as everything from dramatic monologues by Daniel Craig to action set-pieces filled with bullet casings and grenades makes maximum use of the 3D effect.

The 3D not only makes everything more dynamic, it keeps you more engaged with the movie, and helps you notice and especially feel things you don't in 2D.

It delivers one of the best 3D experiences I have seen in many years from a mainstream commercial release.

This is a 3D conversion to look up to, as it may just change your understanding of what the format can do for a movie that might not feel instantly fitting for such an approach.

Personal moments, as well as action-packed spectacles, feel more intimate and invigorating, and there's never a time where the 3D feels cheated or rushed.
