Los Angeles, September 02, 2025 -- Outsyders, a creative-tech collective, has successfully completed three landmark projects in immersive storytelling, demonstrating the potential of AI-powered tools to expand creative possibilities and streamline production. The projects include the IMAX Blue Angels 3D conversion, Disney’s Lilo & Stitch 3D reimagining, and Asteroid, an 8K 3D High Frame Rate (HFR) VFX experience for Samsung/Google XR.

Outsyders, founded by Paul Becker, CEO; Jared Sandrew, Chief Innovation Officer; and Chris Harvey, Chief Creative Officer, brings together decades of experience in visual effects, immersive technology, and cinematic innovation. The team has previously collaborated on high-profile projects for Disney and other major studios, and their latest achievements showcase the potential of their innovative approach.

The Blue Angels project marked Outsyders’ earliest test of its machine learning-driven 3D conversion pipeline, transforming a full IMAX documentary into stunning 3D with an exceptionally small crew. Lilo & Stitch became the team’s first major tentpole, with the majority of the 2D classic converted into 3D in just eight weeks. And with Asteroid, Outsyders delivered nearly ten minutes of 8K 3D HFR immersive VFX for a flagship Samsung/Google XR product launch, underscoring the team’s ability to merge cinematic artistry with cutting-edge XR capabilities.

According to Paul Becker, CEO and Co-Founder of Outsyders, "Coming out of stealth mode with projects like IMAX Blue Angels, Lilo & Stitch, and Doug Liman’s XR film Asteroid proves our approach works; small, highly skilled teams, empowered by advanced tools, can deliver world-class immersive experiences."

The momentum is strengthened by trusted industry relationships, including a recent collaboration with RealD on Disney’s Lilo & Stitch 3D reimagining, one of the biggest box office successes of 2025. Released in May, the live-action remake (including premium 3D screenings) became the first Hollywood film of the year to cross the $1 billion global box office mark by July and surpassed the entire global run of the original 2002 animated release.

Outsyders is building immersive experiences for brands and studios, working to make multi-dimensional content creation accessible to all storytellers, from major film studios to independent creators. The Company’s sensory-rich experiences are compatible with Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, and immersive entertainment venues, with future plans to make their tools and workflows available to consumers eager to capture and relive memories in truly immersive ways.
