Hit the jump for a detailed analysis of how the latestHarry Pottercast off its post-conversion 3D.
Variety reports that IMAX was in charge of handlingHP7’s 3D conversion.
However, IMAX didn’t get the contract until May and didn’t receive a greenlight until August.
That put the production behind from the get-go.
But the biggest problem is that there weren’t enough 3D conversion companies to handle the footage.

Hollywood has more than enough VFX houses to handle special effects work at the last minute.
That film is due out on July 15, 2011.
