About Us

We are an award winning production company with a passion for using new technology to tell engaging and innovative stories. We have a reputation for creating some of the most engaging stereo 3D - from many of Hollywood's biggest productions through to intimate, interactive films about some of the smallest organisms on the planet.

HOW WE WORK

The right tools for the job

In using new technologies, Vision3 focusses on using the right tools for the job. This means using the tools that enable communicating the narrative most effectively. This has meant working with teams of hundreds on some studio features, or distilling this down to one or two key people when capturing penguin behaviour in one of the remotest locations on earth.

Solving problems with innovative and creative solutions

Working with new technologies means that Vision3 is continually developing new ways of telling stories. Often, Vision3 will become involved with a new production the first time that they are working in a new medium, nervous of its restrictions. This however creates the opportunities for developing original, powerful and unique experiences.

From Consultancy to a Full Service Production Company

Vision3 is as comfortable working as a specialist unit, collaborating with a larger team as they are handling a full production from concept through to delivery. Reviews, grading and delivery can be carried out in their screening room and DI suite or can take place in other post houses and VFX vendors.

LEADERSHIP

Chris Parks

Stereo Supervisor and Creative Director

Through his highly acclaimed work on awarding winning feature films, natural history documentaries and commercials, Chris established himself as one of the world's leading voices in 3D. Following this ground breaking work on 'Gravity', Chris has continued to innovate how 3D is utilised creatively on some of the industry's highest profile releases.

Chris has developed his 3D skills over the past twenty years, developing techniques and equipment for shooting and exhibiting 3D, including large scale museum exhibits, IMAX special venue films and a series of 3D books which was published in 13 languages. In 2008 he co-founded Vision3 to support productions both technically and creatively, with a specific focus on how 3D can be used to enhance stories and give genuine benefit to audiences.

Chris’s Imax and special venue stereography stretches back over 20 years and includes work on productions such as Wings of Courage, Bugs! and Plankton 3D. Alongside his stereo work, Chris also continues to shoot specialist 2D film work for features and commercials, including sequences for Darren Aronofsky’s ‘The Fountain’ and Terrence Malick’s ‘The Tree of Life’.

Adam joined Chris shortly after the formation of Vision3 in 2008, and is chiefly responsible for the overall management of operations of the Vision3 Gower St facility, as well as the business development of future 3D projects and opportunities.

He works closely with Film Studios & Production Companies, to develop successful structures and approaches to the production of 3D films. He also directly works with Press, PR and Government institutions to promote a global drive for better 3D filmmaking.
