This is the second time in the world to produce live performance with 3D and the first time it was commercialized in Korea. In 2008, Miley Cyrus, American Idol, and U2, which is a famous rock band, produced their live performances in 3D and was quite successful.
This concert was conducted by Super Junior in the Olympic Gymnastics Stadium and was filmed with 6 sets of 3D cameras. One of them was made by Real Scope and the other five were 3Alityn camera sets, which were used in the movie "Avatar." High-tech 3D producing system was needed for creating the live VCD.
This concert was conducted starting from the planned stage performances then the 3D production. Real Scope and other participating companies planned details such as stage set lighting and camera positions, which are optimized for 3D imaging to create a high-level content.
This shooting resulted after KDC group received an order for a global 3D project from the Korea Culture & Contents Agency under the Ministry of Culture. The global 3D project was to be designed for Korean contents to enter the world market. A total of KRW 40 billion will be invested until 2013 to produce 3D content that is globally competitive.
An official from KDC Group said, "This concert in 3D is the direction of 3D content in which Korea is taking and it currently has great significance." And he added, "We are planning to produce large musicals and global celebrities' performances in 3D by next year to be able to export abroad."
