DVFX WEEK 7 HIST OF FILM AND MOTION ARTS: The 3D Thing

XYZ is the fundamental of 3d. X our left and rights, Y up and down and Z foward and backwards. The 3d movies which we watch now allows us to precive depth as we would in the real world. In the real world, humans have 2 eyes which allows us to see depth and introduces the Z axis. So in theory, instead of capturing the world with one eye of the camera, the lenses, why not capture it in 2. Funnily enough, 3d did not just reach our doorsteps in the 21st century. An artist in Japan used stereoscopic in his paintings before in the 19th century. However it was more of painting 2 images of the same image and projecting them simultaneously. It was an interactive way to show a piece of Japan to the rest of the world as that was the time when Japan started to open their doors. However, I don’t think 3d works all the time. I think 3d movies are more effective if they are animated as they contain more action and well, animation. Most movies we would see the characters talking half of the time and the action sequences account for only 20-30 mins on average. Imagine watching a chick flick in 3d. Think about it
