U2 3D puts viewers within the pulsing energy of a live U2 stadium concert. Marrying innovative digital 3D imagery and 5.1 Surround Sound, it creates an immersive theatrical experience unlike any 3D or concert film that has come before. Shot in South America during the `Vertigo` tour, U2 3D continues the band`s use of technology to create exceptional multisensory experiences.
“Bono wanted to go somewhere magical” with the creation of “U2 3D”, says director Catherine Owens; he was seeking an intensity the already ecstatic feelings evoked by U2’s live concerts.
The film, primarily directed by Irish artist Catherine Owens, and Mark Pellington, who co-directed the live shoot and provided invaluable creative support throughout post-production, sets out to capture the band’s relationship with each other and the resonant repsonse of their fans.
The first digital 3D, multi-camera, real-time production, the film was brought to life by 3ality Digital, who shot over 100 hours of footage with the largest collection of 3D camera technology ever used on a single project.
“U2 3D” will be exhibited in Hoyts cinemas equiped with digital 3D projection systems!
Screening at NSW - Broadway and Penrith; VIC - Chadstone and Northland; ACT - Belconnen; WA - Carousel.
