Learn about Pace, used for "Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience"

A proprietary 3D camera system designed by Oscar-winning director James Cameron and Vince Pace returns to digital 3D production for Walt Disney Pictures. Disney, which first turned to digital 3D production leader PACE (http://www.pacehd.com) to create Disney Digital 3D(TM) for the Hannah Montana 3D movie, has once again tapped PACE for the production of "Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience."

Using the exclusive FUSION 3D system by PACE, Director Bruce Hendricks and producer Art Repola shot the Jonas Brothers film with eight specialty cameras. FUSION then enabled the production team to create a real-time, dynamic form of 3D that gives the viewer the experience of watching the Jonas Brothers from the eight best seats in the house.

"The Hannah Montana 3D project was the highest-grossing 3D film opening, and it used FUSION 3D cameras," explained PACE founder and FUSION co-designer Vince Pace. "Hannah Montana's success brought Disney back to PACE for the Jonas Brothers film."

The FUSION 3D system stands alone as the best live-action 3D entertainment value for large projects like "Hannah Montana-Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert" and "Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience." That's because PACE specializes in 3D entertainment -- and unlike other companies that are still creating dimensional 3D on par with 3D B movies of a generation ago, the FUSION system creates a better-than-being-there experience for viewers.

Capable of filming 3D in the world's most extreme locations, FUSION has been used by other big names in the industry: In addition to the Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers films, FUSION was used to capture a U2 stadium concert in "U2 3D."

Walden Media's "Journey to the Center of the Earth: 3D" also used FUSION, as did James Cameron's upcoming science-fiction epic "Avatar."

"We are excited to be able to provide next-generation 3D capability to the film industry," Pace stated. "PACE will continue to be a pioneer in 3D technology."

"Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience" is currently playing in 3D theaters nationwide. To learn more about PACE and FUSION, visit PACE at http://www.pacehd.com.
