3D Here and Now… Entertainment & Media 3D Here and Now… a goose that lays a golden egg? s we continue to analyze the 3D Entertainment markets, we interview players around the world in A the different industries, including film studios, video game companies, broadcasters, pay-TV operators, network operators, theater exhibitors, technical equipment providers, start-ups and consumer equipment manufacturers, in the main video entertainment formats (films, live TV, home entertainment, games, user generated content) and main entertainment screens (movie theaters, TV, PC, mobile phones). Summary A Year of Progress 2 3D Movies 3 3D Television 12 3D Video Games 18 Overview of 3D R&D Programs 23 So What Lies Ahead? 24 3D Movies 26 3D Television 28 3D PC 30 3D Mobile Phones 32 Key Questions 34 A Year of Progress A Year of Progress A year ago we reported on the uncertainties about the future of the 3D entertainment market. Two tipping points for 3D that we identified then have since been resolved: standardization and the commercial success of high-profile projects, specifically Avatar. Standardization has made significant step forward with the definition of a 3D Bluray standard and the progress on HDMI1.4a specification. At the box office, Avatar ’s record-breaking success created a mass awareness of 3D movies and had a broad halo effect on 3D. So we can say unequivocally that substantial progress has been made. Many people were skeptical about 3D. Now, many people are over-excited by it. The danger is that industry players risk killing a golden goose by overselling and, in some cases, overpricing the 3D experience – and by providing too much mediocre content that doesn’t do justice to the technology. 3D Movies On the positive side, eight of the top 20 grossing films in the first eight months of 2010 were 3D, compared with three in 2009 and one in 2008. Yet it is clear that weaker films are diluting and will continue to dilute the audience’s excitement about 3D. 2007 2008 2009 Sept 2010 1 Spiderman 3 Dark Knight Transformers 2 ToyStory 3 2 Shrekthe Third Iron Man Avatar Avatar 3 Transformers Indiana Jones Harry Potter Alice in Wonderland 4 Pirates of the Caribbeans Hancock Up Iron Man 2 5 Harry Potter Wall-E Twilight- New Moon Twilight Saga: Eclipse 6 Bourne Ultimatum Kung-fu Panda Hangover Inception 7 300 Madagascar Star Trek Despicable me 8 Ratatouille Twilight Blind side Shrek forever after 9 I am Legend Quantum ofs olace Monster vs. Aliens How to train your dragon 10 The Simpsons Horton Hears a who IceAge - Dawn ofD inosaurs Karate Kid 11 Wild Hogs Sex & the City X-Men Origins Clash of Titans 12 Alvin & the Chipmunks Mamma Mia!

  • Spatial Design Principles in Digital Animation
    Copyright by Laura Beth Albright 2009 ABSTRACT The visual design phase in computer-animated film production includes all decisions that affect the visual look and emotional tone of the film. Within this domain is a set of choices that must be made by the designer which influence the viewer's perception of the film’s space, defined in this paper as “spatial design.” The concept of spatial design is particularly relevant in digital animation (also known as 3D or CG animation), as its production process relies on a virtual 3D environment during the generative phase but renders 2D images as a final product. Reference for spatial design decisions is found in principles of various visual arts disciplines, and this thesis seeks to organize and apply these principles specifically to digital animation production. This paper establishes a context for this study by first analyzing several short animated films that draw attention to spatial design principles by presenting the film space non-traditionally. A literature search of graphic design and cinematography principles yields a proposed toolbox of spatial design principles. Two short animated films are produced in which the story and style objectives of each film are examined, and a custom subset of tools is selected and applied based on those objectives. Finally, the use of these principles is evaluated within the context of the films produced. The two films produced have opposite stylistic objectives, and thus show two different viewpoints of applying the toolbox. Taken ii together, the two films demonstrate application and analysis of the toolbox principles, approached from opposing sides of the same system.

Lähdekirjallisuudesta kerättyä tietoa käsiteltiin tutkielman teoriaosuudessa, minkä jälkeen empiirinen osuus selvitti, kuinka kyseisiä menetelmiä sovelletaan käytännössä nykyenglannissa. Tämän selvittämiseksi käytiin manuaalisesti läpi korpusaineisto, joka koostui isobritannialaisen Total Film -elokuvalehden yhden vuoden aikana julkaistuista numeroista. Elokuvajournalismissa käytettävä kieli valittiin tutkimuksen kohteeksi kirjoittajan henkilökohtaisen kiinnostuksen vuoksi sekä siksi, että elokuva on paitsi merkittävä, myös jatkuvasti kehittyvä taiteen ja populaarikulttuurin muoto. Niinpä tämän tutkielman tarkoitus on myös tutustuttaa lukija sellaiseen sanastoon, jota alaa käsittelevä lehdistö nykypäivänä Isossa-Britanniassa käyttää.

  • 3. Digital 3D, Parallax Effects, and the Construction of Film Space In
    3. Digital 3D, Parallax Effects, and the Construction of Film Space in Tangled 3D and Cave of Forgotten Dreams 3D Kristen Whissel Abstract This essay analyzes how parallax effects in Cave of Forgotten Dreams 3D (2010) and Tangled 3D (2010) effectively blur the boundaries between the past and present, sight and touch, and diegetic space and the space of reception in order to give form to themes concerning the dimensionality of the moving image. I show how these films function as ideal case studies for demonstrating digital 3D’s transformation of film space by organizing seeing, knowing, and feeling along the screen’s z-axis. Keywords: Digital 3D, parallax effects, affect, haptics, uncanny Since the release of Chicken Little 3D (Mark Dindal) in 2005, digital 3D cinema has had the odd historical status of being a ‘new’ medium that has returned to us from the past as a harbinger of cinema’s future. To be sure, digital 3D has transformed our understanding of the (pre-)history of the cinema itself, which now must include Charles Wheatstone’s invention of the stereoscope (1838) and Charles Babbage’s invention of the Analytical Engine (1837) in the first half of the 19th century. However long this history, the return of stereoscopic 3D as a digital medium demands a rethinking of film history to include the changing dimensionality of the moving image and, with it, transformations in the articulation of film space. Much as digital tools provide new means for organizing the image along and around the x- (horizontal) and y- (vertical) axes, they have also provided, as Stephen Prince has argued, new means for ‘choreographing’ story, character, and action along the z-axis—a continuum that stretches from the extreme Sæther, S.Ø.

  • Watershed June 2010 Podcast – Cannes 2010
    Watershed, 1 Canon’s Road, Harbourside, Bristol BS1 5TX Box Office: 0117 927 6444 Watershed June 2010 Podcast – Cannes 2010 Each year I approach the Cannes Film Festival with much anticipation especially after last year’s outstanding selection which unspooled Antichrist, A Prophet and The White Ribbon to name but three in one competition. So for 2010 the bar was high and yes it never achieved such heady heights but it produced a handful of stimulating, and (in the hands of three British veteran directors), three solid films. The headline for me seems to be that the critics are always looking for the next big thing whereas it’s in the evolution of the little things that exciting work is happening. Apichatpong Weersatukel’s Palme d’or-winning Uncle Bonaroo is the case in point. The other headline is that 3D is very much on the agenda and having a real impact on the future of cinema. On arrival my first film in the market was The Shock Labyrinth, a Japanese HD 3D feature film which was both classic horror and effective 3D. I followed that with a 10 minute promo of a 3D natural history feature film about elephants which looked impressive. In conferences and trade papers everyone was proclaiming the growth in 3D production – Werner Herzog, Dario Argento are but two directors entering the 3D world - and audience demand has met with this. I even bumped into film critic Mark Kermode who Watershed goers may know stated that he would eat his shoes if we screened a 3D film by the likes of David Lynch.
