We’re returning VFX to its roots, light, lean, and driven by artistry, while building the road to an immersive entertainment future.Whether it’s 3D, XR, or formats still to be invented, our mission is to make technology serve creatives, not replace them.” “By working alongside innovative teams like Outsyders, we can elevate what audiences experience in cinemas,” said Elizabeth Frank, CEO of RealD.“Their ability to deliver premium 3D content quickly and at scale perfectly complements our mission to present it in the best possible way on the big screen.
Together, we’re helping studios see the creative and commercial potential of immersive formats, which we believe will inspire a new wave of storytelling in 3D — not just for blockbusters, but for a wider variety of films that can benefit from the format.”
