3D Technology Means New Rules for Directors.
[WORK IN PROGRESS]
[by BH]
[LAST UPDATE: 06-23-2009]
When you visualize a scene for a traditional 2D Video, you can use storyboards(*1) and apply unlimited creative use of cameras, lighting, framing the shot and more.
When you visualize a scene for a 3D movie, the enitre process changes.
Their are 4 different types of 3D movies - each of which is unique and must be handled differently in terms of creative visualization. Here are my personal classifications:
1. A 2D movie which is created from a 3D environment. This applies to CG animated movies such as Wall-E, Shrek or Finding Nemo. Many times, people will call these movies 3D, but in fact they are only 2D exports from 3d environments.
2. A 2D IMAX movie created from a 3D environment. These are very similar to #1, but when placing the scene's assets on the x,y,z plane, you have more spatial, peripheral freedom.
3. An autostereoscopic 3D movie. This type of 3D is characterized by having a limited amount of depth to work with during the creative process.
4. A stereoscopic 3D movie. You need 3D glasses for this kind. Anaglyph are the red-green glasses; polarized are tinted and are the kind you would find at Disney or Universal. You have almost unlimited use of depth in this type of 3D.
