Toy Story 3

I like seeing their stuff in the theater partly for the big-screen presentation but also because I want to support good work with my ticket money, if I'm going to be buying a ticket.
 
ok mentioned this in another thread but people, family keep asking me is this in 3d ?

Cant blame them but it's weird to say I went to toy story 3 in 3d ...and then they are like the other two weren't 3d. Answer yeah they are 3d but not 3d.
and you start to look like the village idiot ! ....dont live in a village BTW :)

Actually the other two films were shown in theaters in 3D a couple months ago. It's fairly easy to convert a CGI film into 3D as the 3D information already exists in the computer, you just have to render it twice, once for each eye perspective.
 
There's a great article (cover story) in the latest Wired mag about Toy Story 3 and all that went into making it. Once they had the main script written, they essentiallly made the movie 3-4 seconds at a time. Each final frame took 7 hours to render, even with Pixar's massive "render farm."

aah yeah but I meant when they orginally came out .

I must say the "3d effect " wasnt really that prominent in TS3. They showed the Last Airbender trailor and that look and felt like 3d . Strange thought it looked better than AVATAR ooooh there's an irony here somewhere .:2vrolijk_08:

Filmmakers have gotten over the poke your eye out 3D effect, are are just using it to create depth into the screen, which to me is the proper way to use it.

Then I guess we should expect it to do at least as well, at the box office :D
 
Five or six? I guess it's subjective but I only noticed one, and it was fairly mild...

...there was a lot of emphasis during production on the use of the effect for depth, rather than crap-flying-in-yer-face-type gags...

right on the money !:Drogar-BlackEye(DBG

thought the sounddesign in Avatar 3d was off aswell but I should start another thread about that !
Could be the theaters fault perhaps !?

When did that happen? There were at least five or six moments like that in Avatar.

Where? I saw it twice and not once did Cameron break the plane of the screen. You might have had a spear swing towards the camera a few times, but it didn't come through the screen.

Was that the one with the subjective extreme close up of Giovanni Ribisi's face and index finger pointing right at the camera, or was it one of the others?

Believe me, Avatar is filled with poking.

Depends. Did you find the problems in more than one theater? If you saw it once it might be the theater - tough to say unless you saw it in more than one place, so you can compare the presentations.

The only breaking-of-the-screen-plane I noticed was (1) an actor walking right into your right eyeball, during one of the introductory scenes in the Pandora mining base, and some (2) foliage coming at you during the Thanator chase (only once, really, in that sequence).

Some people might be more sensitive to the effect than others.

I noticed none, and actually made a note of it at the time I saw the film. There may have been cases of stuff relative to other things in the background being more in the forefront, but the old COMIN' AT YA type of stuff, where something breaks the plane of the screen until it appears only inches away from your nose was never done. I remember that stuff from the 80's, like Metalstorm 3D where someone threw a throwing star at the audience. The last time I saw it was in Beowulf, the tip of a sword being thrust at the audience.
