Michael Jackson's "This Is It," to be Presented In Theaters Around
The World LONGWOOD, Fla., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 3D Eye
Solutions, Inc. (Pink Sheets: TDEY) is pleased to announce that the
Company has been retained to provide 3D conversion for the Michael
Jackson "This Is It" concert tour. The tribute film was released
exclusively for a special, limited, two-week engagement worldwide
on October 28th. "This Is It" was produced with the full support of
the Estate of Michael Jackson and drawn from hundreds of hours of
rehearsal and behind-the-scenes footage, captured in high
definition with state of the art digital sound as the late singer
was preparing for his concert series in London. The film, which
offers select sequences in 3D, provides a unique career
retrospective and features interviews with some of Jackson's
closest friends and creative collaborators. There's been much talk
and praise surrounding the Sony film title, "Michael Jackson's This
Is It," as it gives audiences a glimpse of the Michael Jackson tour
that never was. The film also provides audiences a look at the only
completed portion of Michael Jackson's creative vision for the
tour, a series of short films and visual effects segments produced
by acclaimed media creator and founder of Stimulated, Inc., Robb
Wagner. In the days following the untimely death of Michael
Jackson, rumors swirled about a clandestine film operation headed
by Michael Jackson known as "The Dome Project." The Dome Project
was a working title coined by Wagner for a series of short films
and visual effects segments intended to be part of Jackson's "This
Is It" concert tour. The tour was to commence with a 50-show run at
London's O2 Dome, which led Wagner to come up with the title.
Stimulated, Inc., Wagner's Burbank, CA media production company,
was handpicked by Kenny Ortega, AEG and Jackson to produce the film
and video elements for the tour. Wagner was appointed as Producer
of The Dome Project, with Jackson and Ortega serving as Executive
Producers. Wagner called on veteran Visual Effects Supervisor Bruce
Jones to direct. Of the planned 25 song set list for the show, 16
songs were to have a film or video element. "Thriller," "Earth
Song" and "Smooth Criminal," were each to have highly developed
short films produced for use in conjunction with the live
performances. Two of those three were to be produced in
stereographic 3D, a groundbreaking effort. The films were to be
presented on a 90 foot by 30 foot LED screen directly behind the
concert stage. The screen was innovative, and would have been the
first of its kind, treating concert audiences to a 3D experience.
Wagner explains the creative concept for how the films were to work
in the concerts: "MJ's plan for the shows was to present short
films in 3D. The audience would be cued to put on 3D glasses. Then,
at a certain point in each film, live action would unfold on the
stage. All of the characters in the film, even the props, would
leave the screen and emerge onstage. The story in the film would
continue as a theatrical concert performance. MJ called that the
'4th' dimension." 3D Eye Solutions was hired by Stimulated, Inc.,
"For the dream sequence in Earth Song, Michael wanted to show the
world as imagined by a little girl. He envisioned beautiful images
dancing in her head from exotic locations throughout the globe.
When we began production we immediately knew that it was not going
to be practical for our budget or our schedule so we enlisted the
services of 3D Eye Solutions to convert stock footage from 2D to
3D. They were able to turn over the work very quickly and adapt to
the creative changes that came down pipe. Without them we would
have never made our delivery for the concert or the film," stated
Todd Cogan, 3D Producer/Stereographer, Stimulated, Inc. "This film
is a tribute to an artist who created excitement every moment he
was on stage. We are thrilled and honored to have worked with such
a creative group and to have our work displayed to the millions of
Michael Jackson fans worldwide," stated Mike Gibilisco, CEO of 3D
