How Not to Make a 3D movie

Great idea with the editing. I hate how technology tends to become the focus of a movie. A good movie ought to make you forget all about how it was made while you are watching it.

They need to drop all this nonsense with the left eye seeing this and the right eye seeing that, funny glasses and special film. If they just were able to make the whole image in focus it would appear three dimensional. Think about it...everything in the world is in focus, crisp as can be but depending on what draws your attention some things go in and out of focus while you are looking at them, which creates a visible three dimensional world. In a movie if everything was in focus you could look past the actors face into the background, right now you would just see mostly unfocused blobs which end up trapping your attention on the actor for lack of being able to see anything else. True 3D comes through absolute focus so the eye has a choice of what to see.

Rather interesting in that simplicity is so central. But really, everyone is looking for a new type of 3D vis. , Specifically in gaming. The programmers who figure out how to put the 3D into the hardware, instead of the recorded movie.....well, it's not going to happen overnight.
