Is your HDTV not HD enough? 3net Studios announced today production of three original native Ultra HD (4K) television series with the working titles “National Parks Adventure,” “Metropolis,” and “Made by Man.” Ultra HD (also referred to as 4k), is a high-definition format four-times the current standard HD resolution at 3840×2160 (8.3 megapixels).
3net also announced principle photography has begun on two original 3D television series. The first, “Turn & Burn,” is a one hour, six-episode, reality show featuring the custom work of the Southern California-based El Reyes Garage. The second, “Dark Secrets,” is a half-hour/eight episode series that recreates supernatural psychic events.
“The global growth of 3D TV into the home increased by 72% in 2012, and we’re starting to see the impact of those 41 million new sets sold last year…,” said 3net/3net Studios CEO Tom Cosgrove.
In addition to the new original productions, 3net is in the final stages of post-producing the second season of “Hillbilly Blood: A Hardscrabble Life,” which follows two mountain men surviving in the mountains of Appalachia.
