The 3D Difference

Posted By Joshua on May 28, 2005

Joe points out more coolness courtesy of World Enteractive and their screening of Star Wars footage in 3D. Here's a clip of their reaction, head there for more:

The demonstration we saw was on a Christie 1.2K DLP projector. The quality of the image confirms Feldman?s statement that any current digital cinema projector, not just a 2K, with the addition of glasses, can play 3D. This means that there are currently around 75 DLP cinema projectors in the US and Canada with the capability to play 3D films through their single lens.

For the demonstration we saw, In-Three played the same clips shown at ShoWest: "Star Wars: Episode II," "Top Gun," "Lilo and Stitch," and the opening of "Star Wars: Episode IV."* Additional scenes were just as amazing. These included a collection of six to eight clips from the original "Matrix," including Neo waking up in his incubation pod and the helicopter crash at the end of the film; the motorcycle game of chicken from John Woo?s "Mission Impossible 2;" the Greased Lightning dance sequence from Randall Kleiser?s "Grease;" the opening of Disney?s "Treasure Planet;" a poolside scene from Disney?s "Tuck Everlasting," which Ray mentioned as being nearly impossible to originate in 3D filming; and the ending of the original "Spider-man," with Spidey flying through buildings and landing on top of a building grasping the American flag. The segment was so exciting that Ray yelled out "Now that?s how that film?s meant to be seen."

In-Three CEO Michael Kaye told me that they?ve also dimensionalized? a number of black and white clips, including the ending to "Casablanca." He also has no aversion to continued work in large format. This opens the possibility that classic 2D large format films from filmmakers such as Greg MacGillivray, David Douglas, and Stephen Low might experience new life in three-dimensional versions.

The digital revolution is just around the corner. I?ve heard murmurs that the financing issue may be resolved within the next month. If this happens, we can look for an acceleration of digital cinemas worldwide ? quicker in international markets where specifications do not mean as much as offering the newest and best presentations for their audiences. The successful opening weekend of "Star Wars: Episode III," even with issues of piracy haunting it, certainly has increased interest in digital cinema. The successful IMAX 3D run of "The Polar Express" half a year ago has not only increased interest in large format 3D, but has accelerated interest in digital 3D as well. What Ray and I saw this past week was only a preview. By the end of the year, the future will have arrived.
