Being the only person on the face of the planet that has yet to see Avatar, I can't help but think about whether or not all the hype surrounding 3D technology will stand true. The recent, or not so much, Consumer Electronics Show(CES) brought word that the newest tech-trend for the coming year will be the integration of 3D tech into the movie-going experience. I am going to take a wild guess and say that Avatar is to 3D as Cloverfield was to the handicam. This worries me. Soon after Cloverfield, films that used a similar presentation flooded theaters. This was a cool trend at first, but eventually it became a gimmick. Don't get the wrong idea, I personally love the style, but only when done RIGHT. This brings about the big question: How many directors can really wrap their mind around the concept of 3D cinematography? How long will it take before these original ideas are cast away as a passing trend, as opposed to being the logical next step for the film industry?
Always in question,
