By MARCI WORMSER Staff Reporter Vince Pace, chief executive officer of PACE in Burbank, has helped revolutionize the once-dying 3-D motion picture industry with the development of the FUSION camera system. The camera systems have added “depth and dimension” to 3-D movies, which are now shot in digital high tech, Pace said. “I think what we’re doing now has never been done before,” he said. The original 3-D movie experience failed, he said, because moviegoers were more interested in the fundamentals of 3-D and didn’t think of it as a legitimate movie form. But viewers “now realize there’s more to 3-D movies than that gimmick,” Pace said. “The new form of 3-D is an emotion.” Pace teamed up with Director James Cameron seven years ago after the director expressed interest in shooting 3-D feature movies. The pair had worked together to shoot two-dimensional underwater scenes in the 1988 movie “The Abyss” and in the 1997 blockbuster “Titanic” through Pace’s underwater film production company, Pace Technology. The pair then decided to take the movie experience to the next level. The result, he said, has piqued interest in a large number of studios that previously discounted the 3-D medium. The duo shot “Aliens of the Deep” and “Ghosts of the Abyss” in 3-D together and are slated to shoot the movie “Avatar,” which is scheduled for release in 2009. Pace has also worked with Director Robert Rodriguez to create the movie “Spy Kids” in 3-D. Pace recently expanded the 3-D experience to include the sports entertainment industry. In February, Pace’s company transmitted the 56th NBA All-Star game live in 3-D high definition to the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. “What we’re trying to do is mimic the 3-D experience visually,” Pace said. “We’re trying to take 3-D to the experience of being there.”
