All-British First for UK 3-D Indie Horror Film


LONDON, September 1 /PRNewswire/ --

- Vision3 Pioneer All-British Technical Team for 'Elfie Hopkins and The
Gammons', Starring Jaime Winstone (Kidulthood, Donkey Punch, Dead Set)

Leading UK 3-D stereoscopic production company Vision3 announce their
appointment as exclusive 3-D consultants and creative partners on 'Elfie 
Hopkins and The Gammons', produced by Size 9 Productions and stars Jaime 
Winstone (Kidulthood, Donkey Punch, Dead Set).

The project is a landmark as the first British 3-D feature to involve an
entirely UK based creative and technical team. Up until now, 3-D features
filmed in the UK have relied on outsourcing from US or European based
companies.

Size 9 Production's decision is a crucial step in establishing 3-D film
production in the UK. Axis Films will supply specialist camera equipment and
On Sight will handle the post production and data lab process.

Vision3 was formed in late 2008 by Chris Parks, a stereographer of over
15 years, and Angus Cameron a Vfx veteran of nearly 50 features. Their 3-D
experience includes involvement on films as diverse as 'Journey to the Centre
of the Earth', the IMAX features 'Bugs! 3-D' and 'Wings of Courage' and 3-D
project management for Peter Jackson.

During 2009 Vision3 has shot a range of 3-D projects using a variety of
techniques including high speed photography, time-lapse, motion control,
greenscreen and specialist snorkel photography. Recent projects include
filming the world's first full length 3-D ballet, Swan Lake, at the Royal
Opera House and an ambitious 3-D promotion of Dubai's new GBP2.5 billion
Metro system to be presented in September to Sheik Mohammed, the Ruler of
Dubai.

Ryan Andrews, Director 'Elfie Hopkins and the Gammons': "Vision3 has
installed huge confidence in me when it comes to 3-D film making. They have
shown dedication to create a beautiful visual for the film and also a great
understanding of how to enhance the story telling through 3-D. 3-D is
basically another film making tool and Vision3 know how this exciting new
technology can be used to engage an audience."

Steve Matthews, Producer at Size 9 Productions: "We're thrilled to be
working with Vision3 on this movie. They're proper film-makers and they share
our vision for this very exciting project. Not only do we feel completely
safe working with them with cutting edge 3-D technology but more importantly
it is a real creative partnership."

Chris Parks, Stereographer and Joint Managing Director of VISION3: "It's
really exciting to have been involved with this film from an early stage in
the creative process. It will enable 3-D to be used as an integral part of
the film, to help tell the story, rather than just as a gimmicky add-on. I'm
really looking forward to helping the director realise his vision for this
project."

Angus Cameron, Stereo Post Consultant and Joint Managing Director of
VISION3: "The UK is in a strong position to take advantage of the exciting
developments in 3-D. There is a huge amount of talent in the industry and by
working together with companies such as Size 9 Productions we will ensure
that cinema audiences enjoy a quality 3-D experience.
