- deepthought21, on 01/17/2009, -1/+56This is Ad Spam. Intru3D is the same bloody thing as Disney's Digital 3D. Intru is just Dreamworks' proprietary technology, same thing different name.
- michaelrsa, on 01/17/2009, -2/+34Wait, why are they saying it as if Silicon Valley is making this movie, Silicon Valley is simply a place, a company made this movie, why not say it was made by said company?
- bizkit00, on 01/17/2009, -2/+25There's god damned ringing during the dreamworks ceo interview, turn your treble down.
- ellimist, on 01/17/2009, -1/+23...This technology has been used for YEARS.
I saw Beowulf 3D (yeah, yeah, it sucked... whatever) with the polarized glasses in 2006.
Why is this news? - Phant0mMaster, on 01/17/2009, -1/+18Thank you for telling me something useful. Every time I see a clip about this movie they're always talking about their new intru3D technology but never what it actually ***** is!
- ph1sh55, on 01/17/2009, -1/+9marketing has a way of inventing news.
- billyvnilly, on 01/17/2009, -1/+9what about it man!
- Typhoon2009, on 01/17/2009, -1/+9Fake ***** are silicone actually.
- Phazoni, on 01/17/2009, -0/+6I saw a demo of this at CES last weekend. It was very comfortable to watch and simply amazing.
- MaxMWood, on 01/17/2009, -1/+6I dugg you up for saying Beowulf sucked.
- inactive, on 01/17/2009, -1/+6You wanna give us innovative 3D? How about some 3D porn! It's like his wang is coming right at you!
- kalvinb, on 01/17/2009, -1/+5Hollywood is helping to foot the huge bill ($1 billion) to get digital projectors into theaters so they can play 3D movies.
I think by "traditional" 3d they're talking about red/blue glasses but this digital version with polarized glasses has been around for at least a few years now. It's going to become pretty standard. I believe this year there are about a dozen movies that will be 3D.
I'm curious as to how long it will take for 3D movies to not include scenes with actors essentially winking at the camera as they poke you in the eye in some way. - mtg101, on 01/17/2009, -0/+4When posting a video, please select the 'video' option when posting.
- biotch, on 01/17/2009, -0/+4Its not news ... actual 3D has been around for years...
burried as lame - Sil369, on 01/17/2009, -0/+4Will the DVD screener be in 3D? XD
- franklymister, on 01/17/2009, -0/+4Color 3-D films started in 1952. That's old enough.
- jordantneff, on 01/17/2009, -0/+3Oh they have it. I was tempted to buy the dvd (it came with the glasses) but decided against it as I wasn't sure what they might do with the cumshot... so I decided to steer clear
- Retrokid, on 01/17/2009, -2/+5How it works:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Digital_3-D#Ho ...
It's somewhat different this time around.
Disney 3D is polarized, but is a a new way of doing polarized 3D with less eye-strain and less ghosting.
The reason the old kind (vertical and horizontal lines) wasn't pushed, is because it was obviously not marketable.
Just seeing how much they are pushing this makes me think they are on to something good finally, as far as 3D glasses go.
I wouldn't put it down just yet.. - roxics, on 01/17/2009, -0/+3Polarized 3d glasses have been around longer then a few years. I remember seeing the Muppets 3d at Disney MGM back in the early 1990's.
- diggydougie, on 01/17/2009, -0/+3Don't care about the wang. But oh, the boobies.
- PrettyBoyFloyd, on 01/18/2009, -0/+3It's been done before, but most porn is plenty profitable without spending a lot of money on 3-D effects. From the soft core porn favorites "The Stewardesses 3-D" from way back in the seventies to "Hard Candy" in the 80s. Most of it was really bad. It hasn't been done in a long time simply because the porn industry never found it made any difference to the bottom line.
- vegantofu, on 01/17/2009, -1/+4what? no love for coraline? http://tinyurl.com/8t9etf
- jtinz, on 01/17/2009, -0/+3Stereoscopic display with polarized glasses is at least twenty years older than Beowulf:
The first permanent IMAX 3D theatre was built in Vancouver, British Columbia for Transitions at Expo '86... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imax#History - Taiyoryu, on 01/17/2009, -0/+2You forgot a "V".... Star War IV-VI
- diggydougie, on 01/17/2009, -0/+2Excellent description.
- TehProphet, on 01/18/2009, -0/+2This is a *NEW* 3d technology, the glasses shouldn't strain your eyes like the old red/blue kind.
- diggydougie, on 01/17/2009, -0/+2Are the glasses polarized or are they LCD shutters? The article did not say. The did look flimsy like the polarized type though. The LCD type can be made to work on your home system.
- Dunge, on 01/17/2009, -0/+2They invented this so we go back in theater instead of downloading the movie? What is preventing us from having our own glasses?
- biotch, on 01/17/2009, -0/+2I think they just meant traditional as in 3D graphics on a 2D screen rather than the red and blue glasses.
- enantiodromia, on 01/17/2009, -1/+3The Bay Area has always been the center of innovation in the film industry.
The motion picture was invented in Palo Alto. Charlie Chaplin moved to the Bay Area from England to start his movie production company. Francis Ford Coppola & George Lucas through their American Zoetrope company redefined the American movie in the 70's and 80's with The Godfather I, II & III, American Graffiti, Apocalypse Now, Star Wars I-VI, and Indiana Jones I-III; arguably a mix of the best and most successful movies in history. (Bar Fly is one of my favorite movies too, but most people don't remember it)
The third wave of Bay Area movie making revolution came with Pixar. The little company that failed to sell their original product, expensive animation super computers, eventually took over Disney's entire animation department and wound up creating an entire new era of movie making, and shifting a lot of Disney power up to Bay Area. - PrettyBoyFloyd, on 01/18/2009, -0/+2Um, I loved Barfly, too, but I'm pretty sure that was made in Los Angeles, in all the same locations Bukowski wrote about. Read Bukowski's book about the making of the movie (called oddly enough, "Barfly"). He goes into great detail about all the stress Barbet Schroeder was under trying to get the movie financed, shot and released. It was quite an ordeal. Bukowski took it all in stride. Hell, here was just another autobiographical story he'd written and someone in Hollywood decided to make a movie about it. Starring Mickey Roarke and Faye Dunaway, of all people!
- kornwin, on 01/17/2009, -0/+2We have an Imax theater up here and whenever there's a 3D movie coming out, I go see it there. The picture on those things are simply amazing... Although, I don't see why everyone is acting like this is some huge deal, I thought this kind of 3D technology had been around for a good 4 years or so, the only difference being that it's been worked and improved upon.
(btw, the last 3D movie I saw was Bolt... don't judge me! :p) - telepheedian, on 01/18/2009, -0/+2Just looking at the trailer already tells me that this will be some sort of theme-park 3d movie, kind of like journey to the center of the earth, the movie is probably going to be made to showcase the tech, and such, rather than tell a story, with 3d tossed in. And disney has so many movies coming out on their 3d format nowadays, this has no relevancy.
- diggydougie, on 01/17/2009, -0/+2They did, Dreamworks.
- TwiiLight, on 01/17/2009, -0/+2Silicon Valley.. That is SO not what I thought it was going to be...
- xroni, on 01/17/2009, -0/+2i want new 3d stereo nvidia drivers!!
- hilo4321, on 01/17/2009, -0/+2yup, this is the exact same technology, not red and blue, all about the polarization
- enantiodromia, on 01/18/2009, -0/+2Yes, but Barfly is an American Zoetrope movie, which is Coppola's company.
Shot on location in L.A. doesn't mean an L.A. movie. :) - cosmosprince, on 01/18/2009, -0/+2i watched Bolt in 3D. nothing new. silly marketing people. *chuckles*
- ljuwaidah, on 01/18/2009, -0/+2Apparently, this _is_ something new, read this for more details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InTru_3D
From what I understood, it'll allow movie makers to make movies directly in 3D which, hopefully, will make 3D movies better and more 3D. - cosmosprince, on 01/18/2009, -0/+2when I watched Bolt in 3D, they didn't give red/blue glasses. it was pretty nice. but it was annoying for the people who had spectacles.
- Disease, on 01/17/2009, -0/+2You know you wanna see that moneyshot in IMAX 3D.
- mopemiph, on 01/17/2009, -0/+2lolz
- superman682, on 01/18/2009, -0/+2Intel InTru 3D is the technology that DreamWorks Animation uses to produce the movie. RealD, IMAX 3D and Dolby 3D Digital Cinema are the 3D projection systems used in theaters. Disney Digital 3D is simply a brand name Disney uses to describe films projected in 3D.
- toledojon, on 01/18/2009, -0/+2Thanks. That clears it up nicely!
- antdude, on 01/18/2009, -0/+2This is the same technology for Chuck 3D episode (2/2/2009) and SuperBowl day.
http://www.nbc.com/Chuck/about/news/
"Don't "chuck" those Super Bowl 3D glasses:
Chuck returns with a 3D episode on February 2nd at 8/7c
Super Bowl viewers who pick up a pair of free 3D glasses to see the first all-3D commercial break running in Super Bowl XLIII on NBC will want to hang on to them to watch an all-3D episode of Chuck premiering the next night.
The 3D episode, "Chuck vs. the Third Dimension," debuts Monday February 2nd at 8/7c on NBC and will feature a special guest appearance by NBC Sports analyst and Super Bowl champion Jerome Bettis. The episode has been specially produced to take advantage of the same cutting edge 3D technology being used for the Super Bowl promotions. Watch a preview.
And in an online first, viewers can use the same glasses to watch the episode in 3D at NBC.com starting February 3rd. The site will also offer a non-3D version of the episode for online viewing.
Intel has produced over 125 million pairs of the 3D glasses, which are being distributed by PepsiCo through the SoBe Lifewater brand. The glasses are available at 25,000 SoBe Lifewater retail displays and are FREE to consumers. Some of the retail locations include:
Kroger
Ralph's
Frys
Safeway/Vons
Supervalu
Food Lion
A & P
Pathmark
Coburns
Fresh Brands
Hy Vee
Nash Finch
Roundy's
Winn Dixie
K-Mart
Dollar General
Hess (select stores)
CVS (select geographies)
Meijer (on 1/31)
Target (on 1/31)
Should a display's supply of glasses run out or if a retailer near you does not carry the glasses, consumers can call 1-800-646-2904 to obtain a pair for free." - inactive, on 01/17/2009, -1/+2dugg for the last few seconds with the asian lady...shes funny
- shank2001, on 01/18/2009, -1/+2Actually Pixar is working on a "3D" movie. I guess you have not seen Disney's new 3D technology in action. It is amazing. I predict that this kind of 3D will not fail and will, in fact, become the standard for cinema over the years.
- guyver48, on 01/18/2009, -0/+1The most annoying thing is that this is a computer animated movie. Real expertise and art is found only in 2d animation. Y'know, like that stuff we used to watch as kids. Hand drawn, maybe rotoscoped, but at least it was art! The only animated movie I'm looking forward to seeing is even from the states! Waltz with Bashir is going to blow away anyone who watches it. Cuz it's adult, graphic (in more ways than one) and good. Something you would expect to see in the oscars. Not like this "Bolt!" or "Igor" crap.
