Post production of the Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert stereoscopic 3D film (Hannah Montana hereafter) set some of the stiffest technical, creative and timescale challenges imaginable for Burbank, LA digital film house, FotoKem. Hannah Montana is the first full length live action stereo3D movie to be released. The film was shot at two Hannah Montana concerts early in the tour in St Louis and Salt Lake City in late October 2007. Walt Disney Pictures, who commissioned the production, required the finished film to be released within days of the conclusion of the concert tour in order to capitalise on the huge interest the live events had generated, giving just 11 weeks for the entire post production process. In the event, the schedule was met and the film went straight to no 1 at the US box office on the first weekend of its release, taking a record $31.5 million in just three days despite only showing on less than 700 stereo3D-capable screens. This proved both the popularity and acceptability of the new generation of stereo3D with audiences, and that brand new post production techniques, skills and technologies had advanced sufficiently to make stereo3D post a viable creative and logistical possibility for the first time.
