Showtime® tapped Lightspeed Design, Inc. to transform their animated logo from 2D to 3D for a post Superbowl DirectTV event. The project schedule was a little less than 2 weeks making this a truly remarkable feat. The original 2D After Effects CS4 primary composition for the 7 second animation used 245 layers, 6 pre-compositions and 59 pre-rendered elements, each of which received Lightspeed's individually-tailored 2D to 3D conversion techniques. Lightspeed's primary 2D to 3D After Effects CS5 composition utilized 478 layers, 103 pre-compositions, and 32 pre-rendered elements to create the final stereoscopic 3D composite.
Even a blizzard in New York near the end of the project, causing over 2000 flights to be canceled including Lightspeed's expedited UPS shipment, did not prevent their on-time, on-budget delivery of the product. Showtime was so pleased with the spectacular 3D, they asked Lightspeed to lengthen the logo sequence to 14 seconds and add a custom 5.1 surround sound mix.
