Sky backs UK talent on 3D shoot

Sky is continuing its push into 3D following the recent live broadcast of a music gig with the stereoscopic recording of a ballet.

The shoot, which used three dual-camera rigs, took place at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London on Thursday (9 April) and featured a performance by the English National Ballet.

Using technicians and a full-zoom rig from US company Pace, the images were captured on Sony F950 cameras with each 'eye' recorded onto HDCam SR decks. The results are expected to feature at NAB where Gerry O'Sullivan, director of strategic product development is giving a keynote speech.
