I've seen 3-D movies where it seems a little crude or too in-your-face.
When you make a 3-D movie you actually have to plan the way the visuals look because there's a parallax issue, and there's an issue of editing; you can't edit very quickly in 3-D because the eye won't adjust fast enough for it.
Just like those little Viewmaster slides, there's a inherent magic that's captured in 3D that you can't get in drawn animation or in CG.
I didn't understand 3-D in the fifties and I can't say I get it now either. I just don't see what the big deal is.
You'll hear people say now, 'Oh, I don't want to see something in 3-D. That's wrong, because what they've seen is 3-D done poorly.
I like that 3D is based on the fact that you look with two eyes, so two cameras imitate that.
In France, a hip replacement was captured using two GoPros in a stereoscopic 3D arrangement. Students can watch the surgery using a virtual reality headset.
I miss the newness of Magic Eye posters, which really are amazing.
