For those people who dislike 3D - I wonder if there'd be a market for 3D glasses in which both lenses are the same, so that both eyes see the same image and the film appears in 2D!Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12114173058909107289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-86388140365335672432009-10-13T11:45:37.581-05:002009-10-13T11:45:37.581-05:00I'm not generally a fan of 3D.

I loved that Pixar used the 3D more to make you feel like you were looking <i> into </i> the scene than to make things jump out at you. But that's Pixar. They put a tremendous amount of thought and planning into it, and did it well. Adding it after the fact to a movie? No thanks.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490891818861928381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-35799715647122155802009-10-13T08:27:42.711-05:002009-10-13T08:27:42.711-05:00I enjoy 3D.

Many people with depth perception and visual processing issues can't see the 3D. (Remember Mallrats and the guy who couldn't see the hidden image- it's like that). Making a movie in 3D leaves out a lot of the population, and I hope they also offer it in 2D.Jennnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-22359489643091098122009-10-12T18:42:41.200-05:002009-10-12T18:42:41.200-05:00I love 3D.

You can't just compose a shot as you would normally, but use a 3D camera.<br /><br />Our eyes are used to both focussing on and converging on (ie. both pointing at) the same object. The problem with 3D is that our eyes always focus on the screen, where the image lies, but are forced to converge in front of or behind the screen to experience the 3D effect.<br /><br />For this reason, 3D images should be composed with the main subject of the image as close to the plane of the screen as possible, to avoid straining people's eyes by forcing them to do things they're not used to doing. The eye-strain doesn't come from 3D - it comes from bad 3D.<br /><br />In this case, they're taking a film which was shot with no consideration of the 3D process and forcing the 3D effect on it. Inevitably it will be an eye-strainer.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12114173058909107289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-30867266319325400952009-10-12T17:46:00.558-05:002009-10-12T17:46:00.558-05:00I wasn't a fan of 3D until I saw Coraline.

I was starting to feel like the only person on the planet who realized we were all <i>already in 3D</i>, and even without the awful glasses.<br /><br />It's like Hollywood doesn't remember a little thing called The 1980's when 3D was a very short-lived fad that appealed to only a small part of the viewing population. So by 2011, not only will this movie have been delayed a year, but probably delayed a year <i>for no reason</i>, as 3D will probably be done like a 12-hour pot roast.Dana Detrick-Clark from Serious Vanity Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02542915015304373226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-19674499652821079902009-10-12T14:44:16.854-05:002009-10-12T14:44:16.854-05:00Great!
