Lucasfilm has announced their official partner for the 3D conversion of Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Prime Focus. ILM Visual Effects Supervisor John Knoll will be supervising the stereo conversion of the film into 3D using Prime Focus' proprietary View-D technique.
Prime Focus founder and CEO Namit Malhotra said: "Wherever you are in the world, the Star Wars films have become part of the very fabric of film-making -- the epitome of the big cinema experience. To be chosen by Lucasfilm as a trusted partner, and to be given the time and opportunity to represent this series as a new experience to both old and new audiences alike, is an incredible honor. For a project of this importance and magnitude, Lucasfilm and ILM would only have chosen a company with the best talent in the industry, leading proprietary technology and infrastructure, a production-proven pipeline and unmatched scale. I am hugely proud that Prime Focus is that company."SOURCE: StarWars.com Official Announcement and Prime Focus Announcement
