Theory 3-D Cinema James Cameron-the Stereoscopy Blog

Adam Savage’s test recently interviewed James Cameron, a director of some of the most important and successful films of all time, to talk about his desires for making 3-D films, the future of watching films, and in-depth content that he created in partnership with Meta.

I think this is a very interesting and insightful interview on how Cameron views 3-D Cinema (even intended), what technically makes a good and fun 3-D watch experience, and the possibility of stereoscopy in general, especially with VR/AR technology.

If you haven’t watched an interview, you can find it on YouTube:

This reflects the 3-D Archive article from Jack Theakston from the 3-D film about what killed the 3-D film in the 1950s: how ultimately technical problems affect the experience of watching and in turn popularity. It is very pleasant to recognize this and is working to adapt content to search for meta to optimize it. It also echoed some Walter Murch film editor comments about aspects that limit technical and human physiology from watching 3-D films, but instead of Murch’s conclusions that are very broad-view that 3-D does not work and will never (once again, they are intended), they see the potential and possibility of vision of binocular working with fun stereoscop technology. Thank you very much to Carlton Bright for sending me the article last year.

It would be interesting to see whether watching a 3-D movie on the headset takes off, especially because the headset design becomes more fun to use longer and more affordable, or if the prospect of solo-view movies can make people die. TV 3-D, while a different watching experience, may be a good comparison, but time will tell.
