Very few, if any, people working in the motion picture industry today continue to believe that stereoscopic 3D is a fad that will soon run its course. The recent successes of the live-action blockbusters Avatar and Alice in Wonderland have shown that audience understand that 3D offers a more exciting visual experience and they’ve so far been quite willing to pay extra movie for the privilege. The challenge for filmmakers now is to learn the techniques and technology that make stereoscopic 3D possible and a good place to start is the upcoming National Association of Broadcasters convention that is being held April 10-15 in Las Vegas.

3D Topic #1

The main topics of any trade show are often the people and things that aren’t there or are just around the corner. This was certainly the case at the 2009 edition of the National Association of Broadcasters convention, which was held last month in Las Vegas. There were fewer people there than in recent years, 84,000, a drop of some twenty percent but most people saw that as a positive because waiting lines everywhere were noticeably shorter and the people who attended were serious about doing business. Red, which didn’t exhibit for economic reasons, still was a main topic and was a presence in numerous booths. As it has for the past two years stereoscopic 3D once again dominated most conversations and many exhibits at the show. The fact that progress has clearly been made in the ongoing development of 4K technology was discussed. And there was also the hologram.
