The Art Institutes, claimed as America’s leader in creative education, published an article in the first week of 2010 entitled, “3D Breathes New Life Into Classic Stories”. Aside from Josh Gridley of Sony Pictures Imageworks, they got the chance to interview the 3DGuy, Al Caudullo, to acquire more of a professional’s view on 3D and the 3D bandwagon.
Below are excerpts from Ai’s 3D Breathes New Life Into Classic Stories.
According to Al Caudullo, executive producer of high-definition and 3D media company Explore Media Group, 3D has the ability to draw audience members deeper into the story…
Caudullo calls 3D a “filmmaker’s tool” in much the same way as color was used to transport viewers from Kansas in The Wizard of Oz and THX sound was used to recreate the chaos of the battle scenes swirling around in Star Wars.
Experts say 3D video and moviemaking is currently in a new transition. On his3DGuy.tv website, Caudullo shows 3D movie trailers and talks about advancements in technology and production. He says the latest developments in 3D technology include single-lens 3D cameras and a high-definition television that displays 3D.
Even so, Caudullo says the full potential of 3D has yet to be realized.
“The improvements in 3D technology will rapidly accelerate in the near future,” he says. “How effective the 3D tool can be is left to the filmmaker’s imagination. One of the biggest pitfalls is to fall back on the gimmicks and gags of the ‘old’ 3D. So far, that hasn’t happened.”
