About Legend3D

Established in 2001, Legend3D carved out a niche in the entertainment industry by specializing in the conversion of 2D films into stereoscopic 3D. The company was founded by Dr. Barry Sandrew, an individual with a distinctive background combining neuroscience, digital imaging, and visual effects. Sandrew, who held positions as a staff neuroscientist at both Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, leveraged his understanding of human visual perception to develop the company's proprietary conversion technology. This technology was a departure from the industry's existing manual processes, offering a more efficient and higher-quality method for creating immersive 3D experiences.

Legend3D serves major Hollywood studios, iconic filmmakers, and commercial brands, providing a range of visual effects (VFX) services. Its business model centers on providing these high-end digital services on a project basis. The company's service offerings have expanded over the years from its initial focus on 3D conversion to include a comprehensive suite of VFX production and post-production services. This includes everything from initial concept design to final color grading. Furthermore, the company has ventured into virtual reality (VR), offering full-scale creative and production services for this emerging medium.

The firm operates on a global scale, with a significant operational footprint that includes facilities in Los Angeles, California, and Pune, India. A notable milestone in its history was a major expansion in 2018, which involved adding a substantial number of employees to a new facility in Luoyang City, China, supplementing its existing global workforce. Over the years, Legend3D has contributed to the 3D conversion and VFX for numerous blockbuster films, solidifying its position within the post-production landscape. The company's journey reflects a strategic evolution from a specialized 3D conversion house to a multi-faceted visual effects and VR content provider.
