HD3D - Tauern Geology
12min. High Definition 3D-cinema
This production provides a new kind of cinema experience that explains the formation of the Alps in previously unseen images – as a High Definition 3D film.
A real highlight is the unique genuinely stereoscopic aerial footage of the Hohe Tauern mountain range. It took a combination of the most sophisticated camera systems and state-of-the-art digital techniques to capture these images, culminating in an extraordinary and currently unique film. 250 million years of geological history in 15 minutes of HD3D.
Continents crash into each other in superfast motion – the African plate starts drifting North, the Earth’s crust is forced up, crumples and folds, giving rise to the Alps. Because of their sheer scale, these dramatic events are almost beyond our imagination.
Complex animation sequences, real 3D aerial footage and special sound and vibration effects absorb the viewer in the dramatic processes surrounding the formation of this famous mountain range. For 4 years, Mario Kaufmann and Andreas Meschuh have been developing and optimizing the HD3D technology. 38 high-performance computers and 15,000 computing hours were needed to project the stereoscopic special effects onto the screen. And however perfect the individual images may look, this is not enough – the third dimension has to work, too.
Kurt Adametz, a long-time co-operator of Michael Schlamberger, director of the film, created the music and the 5.1 sound effects. Salzburg’s "House of Nature" provided scientific guidance.
