It is a presentation of Really BIG Film Corp. in association with Lion Limited Partnership and Brent Bolthouse Productions. "This is a very exciting project for us. We've got a stellar team -- both on the set and back at the office -- and we're moving in an important direction for large format cinema," said Iwerks' Doug Yellin. "Large format is ideal for concerts because it is so immersive and because you can see everything in a way you couldn't at a live performance. "Large format theaters naturally evoke the concert atmosphere with their dynamic sound systems, stadium seating and huge screens that dominate your field of view. In the past, Iwerks has made short music films featuring such artists as Prince, Clint Black and Peter Gabriel Peter Brian Gabriel (born 13 February 1950, in Chobham,[1] Surrey, England) is an English musician. He first came to fame as the lead vocalist and flautist of the progressive rock group Genesis. After leaving Genesis, Gabriel went on to a successful solo career. , but there have been very few feature-length concert films made for the giant screen. It's an area with huge potential." More than half of all large format theaters are in educational institutions, with the remainder in commercial settings such as theme parks, entertainment centers and megaplexes. The distributor expects the `N Sync film to be a "crossover" and perform well in both types of theaters. "`N Sync is a very family-oriented group," explained Really BIG Film Corp.'s Jonathan Sanger, whose production credits include "The Elephant Man Elephant Man orig. Joseph (Carey) Merrick (born Aug. 5, 1862, Leicester, Leicestershire, Eng.—died April 11, 1890, London) Englishman disfigured by a disease that caused growths over his skin and bone surfaces. His head was 3 ft (. ," "Frances" and "Mission Impossible II." "We are getting a lot of interest from museum theaters, because a film of `N Sync in concert will bring in the kind of family audience they depend on. And the band's very strong appeal to teenage girls makes the film an excellent fit for theaters in entertainment centers, malls and megaplexes." To capture the live `N Sync concerts, producer Yellin and director of photography Bailey will supervise seven camera operators: Tom Connole, Bob Gorlack, Anett Haellmi, Max Penner, Sean Phillips, Scott Shepley and Matt Williams Matt Williams can refer to different people:
Iwerks' Greg Meader will supervise audio post production, with the final mix session done in a large format theater. The film will be edited by Louis Angelo and Robert Demaio.
