Madrid • The film version of "The Hobbit" by JRR Tolkien takes shape with Peter Jackson at the address and the Spanish company in charge of SGO technology that will allow the adventures of Bilbo Baggins reach the 3-D screens with a special finish.
Technical director of the film post-production, Phil Oatley, explained today in Madrid who chose technology "Mistika" SGO to give the final touch to the footage shot in three dimensions.
"Quite simply, they are two years ahead than other companies in the competition, so do not hesitate to work with them," confessed Oatley.
A Spanish company with little more than twenty workers get put at the forefront of 3D post-production effects, "a matter of luck," said Miguel Angel Doncel Efe, president of SGO, but just look at its journey to realize that more than a lucky man, Doncel has been a visionary.
In 1993, just 25 years, Doncel, recent graduate in computer science, had to struggle between "making money or doing that for you to enjoy." He decided to enjoy his work, founded SGO and imposed a goal that seemed unrealistic that time: to help the audiovisual industry through information technology.
Since then, he has continued to create software dedicated to improving the performance of different types of productions and always with the premise of meeting market demands as quickly as possible.
Thus, Doncel, skeptical of stereoscopic technology a few years ago, joined their service offering the possibility of treating 3D images.
By then I had realized that "the stereo is not capable by itself to make good a movie is bad, but has the power to make a good movie end up being special."
As special as expected as the result of "The Hobbit", which began working SGO in late 2010 after Jackson's team will be thrilled with the Spanish company's technology at a technology fair in Las Vegas (EU ).
In recent months, and using the software "Mistika" a sort of "Photoshop" motion picture that has the distinction of being able to process 3D images as well, SGO team faces the challenge of working with 8 to 12 terabytes of information generated in the shoot day.
"Mistika" is also the only system on the market capable of processing real-time footage shot at a speed of 48 frames per second (normal is 24) which together with SGO 3D treaty will allow the tape reaches the screens end of 2012 with a finish you do not seen to date.
The result is that viewers "will not see a movie with depth, but have the feeling that the action is transpiring right in front of them," said Oatles.
Doncel, SGO has managed to position itself as one of the audio-visual post-production companies leading the world, believes the sector is key "in 3D, but 3D well done", he said, because " do it with regular, do it perfect for creating that sense of immersion and that people do not end up with a headache. "
While agreeing on the quality of your system "Mistika" believes that talking about the chance to win an Oscar "would be pretentious" at that time complies with the opportunity to work with "a genius" as Peter Jackson and enjoy mission of "exporting Spanish technology."
