(From today's "For the discussion of 3D moving images" CML forum)
I saw UP this weekend at the Corte Madera Cinema, too. My 13-year-old daughter and I really enjoyed it. I agree with everything you said about the 3D in UP. It was really well done, and after the first few minutes, I didn't think about the 3D any more than I thought about the color or the sound. But I came out feeling like I was "engaged" with the story... perhaps more than if it was just 2D. That is as it should be. Kudos to the East Bay team at Pixar! This is also my favorite theatre in the area, except that the snack bar selections are not that great... bad coffee, no tea. But at least there's real butter on the popcorn! I once heard that this theatre was used byLucas/THX for the first THX test installations, as well as screenings of the early Star Wars films and other movies that they wanted to see on the "big screen." After all, it is almost right across the freeway from Kerner Blvd. Any truth to those rumors? Regarding 3D... we were instrumental in the camera technology used by PACE for Jim Cameron's upcoming live action/CGI 3D epic "Avatar," which is to be released this winter (Christmas "tentpole" megapic). We'll see if hecan resist the urge to overuse the stereoscopic effect and simply use it to help tell the story, which I understand is a compelling one). Apparently there was a surprise screening of some scenes in Amsterdam last week. Though the audience was "sworn to secrecy," apparently some had their fingers crossed. See http://www.comingsoon.net/news/avatarnews.php?id=56535. It sounds pretty good so far! Jim
