I was having trouble understanding how so many great directors were committing to 3-D when it has that focus issue, but perhaps I just haven't seen it on a 3-D screen yet.Aaron Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397235341719388657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34126572.post-56072829689662245972010-06-04T11:18:44.150-05:002010-06-04T11:18:44.150-05:00Avatar was pretty fantastic IMO.

However, other 3d movies, Alice in wonderland and Clash of the Titans are fails because the movie wasn't shot to accommodate the 3d aspect, it was shot in 2d then later adapted for 3d.<br /><br />The problem is the angle and the reflexive surface of the screen. Most theaters weren't designed to project 3d content, so if your watching the movie at an off axis or not in a up to date theater, then the movie won't look right, which is part of the problem. I only know this because I work for a Audio Visual company and we've had clients request 3d for shows and we tell them, it ain't there yet.<br /><br />As to the fad.. I hate to say it but it isn't going away any time soon. Proof of this is the furor at which Sony, Samsung and others have started to push out 3d LCD units. When companies like this invest serious money, then it's going to start happening, no matter what percentage of the populous, which I'm sure is greater than most people want to admit, decides it's a waste of time and effort.<br /><br />I don't see it becoming the norm, but I do seeing it having a niche in entertainment for now.Oakstouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338018420187011141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34126572.post-53748027177466950862010-05-18T17:22:30.939-05:002010-05-18T17:22:30.939-05:00I agree.

I can't wait to hear what Microsoft and Sony have planned at E3.Aaron Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397235341719388657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34126572.post-53645418932651077992010-05-18T17:13:13.124-05:002010-05-18T17:13:13.124-05:00Never been or will ever be a fan of 3-D in game or...Never been or will ever be a fan of 3-D in game or movie formats. I wish it had stayed buried in the '80s but as with these things they go in cycles, I suppose.<br /><br />Am personally more interested in projects like Natal that look to break down the barriers between passive viewing and interaction.<br /><br />Good to see you back, Aaron.DM Osbonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939313200172575637noreply@blogger.com
