DepthQ® Stereoscopic 3D Filmmaking
Lightspeed’s stereoscopic 3D production pipeline benefits from advanced filmmaking technologies that have been developed and honed in-house over the past seventeen years producing stereo 3D content. DepthQ® Stereoscopic is a mature, live-action 3D filmmaking process that maximizes creativity, efficiency and accuracy from acquisition through post. Combined with our knowledge and experience in 3D film-making, it allows us to produce comfortable, visually impactful, cost-effective, GREAT 3D!

Lightspeed has provided content for some of the world’s most image-conscious clients. Our 3D productions have also been seen by millions through museum theaters and a world exposition. Behind the scenes, Lightspeed has developed unique proprietary methods for digital 3D filmmaking, and Lightspeed’s DepthQ® Player software is being used by Imax, Disney Imagineering, SimEx-Iwerks, and DNA Productions in the creation of their own 3D content.

Jack Daniels 3D 2010 Behind-the-Scenes: 3D Film Production


Lightspeed's Senior Technology Manager Dan Lawrence and VP of Technology Kirk Melby prepare the DepthQ® Stereoscopic Rig for a 3D shoot at Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee.


The Lightspeed crew captures Master Distiller Jeff Arnett in 3D as he evaluates the alcohol content of whiskey flowing from an active copper still by evaporating it between his hands - an authentic, time-honored technique passed on from the Master Distiller before him.


Kirk Melby adjusts the DepthQ® Stereoscopic Rig before a long dolly shot along the clear, iron-free water flowing from Jack's limestone cave stream - the ultimate source of every drop of Jack Daniel Whiskey ever bottled.


DepthQ® captures Master Taster Jeff Norman using an old manual hand drill to sample the contents of a candidate barrel of Single-Barrel whiskey on the seventh floor of this all-wooden warehouse. Less than half of 1 percent of all Jack Daniel's whiskey earns the distinction of being labeled "Single Barrel Whiskey".
