A look into where the film industry is headed and what obsticals they must deal with in order to continue profiting. 

 


 

 

3D


 

-The big future project is 3D defiantly.  3D died out in the past because the quality wasn't that good it was paper glasses.  The new 3D that came out with Avatar when they redesigned the image of 3D for people.  Avatar was the new beginning to 3D again.  James Cameron actually wrote Avatar back in 1995 but the Visual effects producers told him he was crazy for thinking that it was possible.  So he waited till 2005 and then thought "if we could just push technology and write the movie we've always wanted".  This is when they created a camera for the movie.  His goal was to create a shooting system that could do both 2D and 3D without impacting the creative direction of the film or disrupting the actors' performances. The Sony cameras delivered the ideal combination of 2/3-inch image quality and on-the-set flexibility that enabled them to go from handheld to a techno crane to Steadicam at a moment's notice.

 

2009 AVATAR cost approx. $500 million they made a gross of about 1.87 billion dollars after one year, they total now around 2.7 billion dollars.

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

GLASSES OR NO GLASSES


 

-The future of film is probably going to have 3D but where you don't have to where glasses. Obvious sign that people would rather no were glasses when they are watching any media.

-Researchers in South Korea have created a new method that would allow moviegoers to simply sit down and start watching a 3-D movie with no extra gear necessary.

-When you sit down to watch something like "Avatar," two projectors are displaying two images on the same screen, with the light from one polarized left-right and the other up-down. This is why the screen looks kind of blurry when you take the glasses off -- there are two movies playing on it at the same time. The 3-D glasses correct the situation by separating these images, allowing the left-projector movie to go to your left eye and the right-projector movie into your right.

-The new method would allow movie theaters to keep their projectors where they've always been, behind the audience, and uses fairly simple optical technology. A special array sits in front of the projector and polarizes its light. A filter covering the screen then obscures different vertical regions of the screen, like the slats of venetian blinds. Each of your eyes, sitting at a slightly different angle, has some of the screen blocked and some of the screen visible. The movie has the right-eye and left-eye images interleaved in vertical columns with one another. The trick then is to have the light visible to your left eye contain the left-eye pixels and vice versa for the right eye.

-But the down fall is that because of this there is less light going to your eyes which lowers the resolution so the quality of the picture is fairly low.

Holograms


 

Scorsese Figures We'll Have Hologram Movies Soon Enough

November 7, 2011 / holograms, martin scorsese, movie, news

With his first 3D film, Martin Scorsese has earned high praise for his use of the technology, with three-dimensional evangelist James Cameron even reportedly calling Scorsese's Hugo "the best use of 3D he had seen, including his own films." So, having bested Cameron at his own game, Scorsese is already looking ahead at what he believes to be the next big technological breakthrough in raising ticket prices. That breakthrough? Holograms!

Speaking to an audience in downtown L.A., the director of Taxi Driver theorized that, based on his use of 3D and information gathered from a Star Trek: TNG DVD set someone bought him last Christmas, "If everything moves along and there's no major catastrophe were headed toward holograms." And while that statement makes it tempting to waste time damning 9/11 for holding us back from a holographic theater world, Scorsese asks that we instead more optimistically consider how great it will be when film characters can walk out into the audience--"they do it in theater," the director elaborated, referring to just one of the reasons productions like Cats are utterly intolerable.

"You have to think that way," Scorsese continued. "Don't let the fashion and the economics inhibit you." OK? So stop worrying about what's fashionable. Don't concern yourself with the money. Just think about the memorable ending of GoodFellas, when Joe Pesci fires a pistol directly into the camera, and imagine how, if the technology had been available, Scorsese would totally have shot that with a holographic Joe Pesci strolling around the theater and individually shooting delighted audience members. Welcome to the future! You have to think that way.

 

Functional holograms are here?? 

Three-dimensional television displays have been around for a couple of years now, but what we're all really waiting for is a holographic display -- a la Princess Leia in Star Wars.

At Imec, a research lab in Leuven, Belgium, one team of engineers and scientists came up with a holographic display that works by shining lasers onto microscopic mirrors. The mirrors are so small, that each one represents a pixel of light in a moving image. And each mirror moves up and down like a piston when a specific voltage is applied to it. The light bounces off the edges of the pixels around it. At that scale, the waves of light interfere with each other and create an interference pattern that produces a three-dimensional image. The whole contraption is called a micro-electromechanical system -- or MEMS for short.

 

 

Below is an example of a Tupac hologram performance. This performance was made by AV Consepts 

 

 

Future Movie Theater:


 

First there were 3D movies, but soon our future could hold 3D movie screens. Forget about 3D movies, pretty soon we could have 3D screens. A new panoramic project screen was unveiled this year by Hyundai. The basis for the screen is that it is made up of move-able blocks that can push in or out giving it a rippling type of effect. The screen has thousands of these cube-like blocks that measure almost afoot across. This allows the image to be 3D with a screen that moves with it.

Imagine what it could look like if the screen and the visual images could be coordinated. It may take a bit more technology, but they are closer than ever before. Not only would it appear to visually be in 3D, it would actually BE 3d with the screen moving.

It seems like science fiction, but it is happening today and surely will be part of movie theaters in the future. Watch the video below  (link) to see and example of how this process could work to get a full sense of how this can be incorporated into a movie theater. Could this be the new IMAX?
