Who is Gener8?

We work with industry leaders such as Sony Pictures, Warner Entertainment and Columbia Pictures with the primary objective of helping to produce the highest-quality, top-grossing stereoscopic 3D releases.
"Gener8 is setting the standard for 3D post translation. Their stereo process starts with principal photography and leads into post migrating with VFX giving me the flexibility to design the stereo in a facility atmosphere without the pressures of on-set production. This unique approach has changed the way I think of post 3D its a game changer!"
