What is the problem with 3D Television?
“We haven’t seen anything yet that doesn’t have a great degree of value added by being in 3D,” explains legendary filmmaker James Cameron. Cameron, the director of the two highest-grossing films of all time, Titanic and Avatar, makes these remarks in reference to his new project—and it isn’t a 3D film. Working with Avatar cameraman Vince Pace, the duo are creating a new camera piece that shoots in 3D while extracting a 2D feed, aiming to speed up the process of 3D technology and convince filmmakers to begin using it. Cameron breaks it down further, “We’re getting people to change their perception about 3D—not just the perception of the cost but the perception of the best business model.” The fact that Cameron, Hollywood’s top earner in 2010, has to endorse 3D to get the ball rolling tells us a couple things about 3D. One being that it is an innovative, profound change in the technology of entertainment media, the other: that consumers are flat out not buying it.

In the case of this movie, the answer is FUCK YEAH!
