James Cameron’s Lightstorm Vision acquires Outsyders, a technology company focused on improving 3D production and post-production. The deal brings an AI- and machine-learning approach to stereoscopic content creation into Lightstorm’s broader media and technology efforts, according to multiple reports.
Outlets describe Outsyders as a specialist built around enhancing the “pipeline” for premium 3D output. Variety and Deadline characterize the company as AI-powered and positioned as a “one-stop shop” for 3D content creation. The Hollywood Reporter adds that Outsyders has worked with Cameron before, including 3D-related work on Paramount’s “Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour.”
There is limited detail on deal terms. Deadline and Hollywood Reporter do not specify a price, while Variety reports the acquisition rather than publishing figures. The reporting also differs slightly in emphasis—some outlets foreground AI and machine learning, while another focuses on Outsyders’ prior collaboration and 3D experience.
