from Bruce Dowbiggin of the Globe and Mail,
Is Lord Stanley ready for the James Cameron treatment? More precisely, what happens when hockey’s greatest moments get the same 3D treatment that famed Canadian director Cameron is employing to convert his classic film Terminator? “I’ll be back … with my hockey stick.”
Michael Lowe, the producer/director of Calgary’s LoweLife Productions, has teamed with Conversion Works – the innovative 3D conversion firm working with Cameron on his classic Terminator and Titanic films – to create a history of hockey that he hopes will blow the doors off anything seen by fans before. Lowe recently showed Usual Suspects samples of what to expect from the marriage of 3D and hockey. The results might be described as Gary Bettman’s happy dance.
The depth of field on 3D, the capture of perspective between the players, offers a solution to TV’s biggest complaint about the sport: Where’s the puck? Using the technology at the Hockey Hall of Fame, to mention one venue, to revive vintage games and classic moments could put hockey in the front seat of sports technology.
