Pan

What it was

Joe Wright was clear from the first planning meetings that Pan should explore what was possible in stereo without the constraint of realism. The film gave him the material: a chase through the London skies in a flying pirate ship, a trampoline fight in the villages of Neverland, the battle between Peter and Blackbeard, all with production design and costumes that reward depth.

By Pan the depth script was tracking pace, energy, emotion and impact, not only distance. Because the film was made for younger audiences there was room to have fun with the conversion, and Chris drew on how animated features treat stereo and applied those methods to live action.

Technical approach

A conversion designed and supervised by Chris Parks with Angus Cameron as stereographer, planned scene by scene against the film's fantasy scale, and delivered through Vision3's pipeline and reviews.
