The company 3D Eye Solutions, Inc. has been retained to provide a 3D conversion for “This Is It.” Along with practice footage from the ill-fated London concerts, “This Is It” also gave fans a tantalizing glimpse of creative film and visual effects that were produced by media creator and founder of Stimulated, Inc, Robb Wagner.

Stimulated, Inc was chosen by Kenny Ortega, AEG and Michael to provide elements to be included on the tour. Wagner was appointed to be Producer of The Dome Project, along with Michael and Kenny Ortega as Executive Producers.

Wagner worked with veteran Visual Effects Supervisor Bruce Jones to direct. The concert called for 25 songs with 16 songs having a film or video element added. “Thriller,” “Earth Song” and “Smooth Criminal” were each going to feature highly developed short films to be presented along with the live action, the films to be produced in stereographic 3D, a groundbreaking effort.

The video was to be presented on a 90 foot by 30 foot LED screen stationed directly behind the concert stage. The screen was to be the first of its kind, giving the audiences a 3D experience.

Wagner explained the concept for how the films were supposed to work.

“MJ’s plan for the shows was that the audience would be cued to put on 3D glasses. Then, at a certain point in each film, live action would leave the screen and would continue as a theatrical concert performance. MJ called that the ’4th dimension.”

3D Eye Solutions was commissioned 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 the 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 the pipe. Without them, we would have never made our delivery for the concert or the film,”

stated 3D Producer, Todd Cogan.

“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 Eye Solutions.
