Production Details

What we know about the The Wizard of Oz movie production.

Key Facts

  • The 3D conversion was a long and complex project which Warner Bros. initiated with a very high resolution (8k) scanning of the original Technicolor camera negative. The restored 2D image was then transformed by creating a depth-map of each frame to construct 3D imagery and determine distances from the viewer's vantage point. This was followed by the long process (with the use of a rotoscope) to further refine viewer distances and fully layer shapes and objects.
  • A limited one-week IMAX 3D special engagement of the 1939 Oscar-winning Technicolor musical classic.
