OT: Latest work... #61917 09/23/04 09:34 PM Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 5,236 Los Angeles spiffnme OP axiomite OP spiffnme axiomite Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 5,236 Los Angeles Just an fyi...I'm currently working on The Polar Express in 3D for IMAX. Going into this project I was pretty skeptical...but I've recently seen the first dailies in 3D IMAX....holy shnikies! You've never seen anything like this before. I can't comment on the story, but the pictures are going to blow you away. Yeah...though every word was true, that was indeed a shameless plug.

The problem was we got there late and had to sit in the second row. You literally had to turn your head and read across the entire screen for the subtitles. DL

We had nothing to do with that film. They simply projected their 35mm print in the bigger room. No IMAX film, No IMAX sound.

And if so, is it worth waiting to see it this way instead of in 2D? I am more worried about sitting in a 3D movie for 90 minutes, it could be nauseating! MySpace

This release broke pretty much ever large format film record ever. Let's hope we can do the same at the box office now. See it in 3D. I'm not kidding. It's pretty darn amazing.

Even w/o IMAX, the CGI is pretty amazing. We saw Incredibles and it's pretty amazing how far CGI has come from Toy Story to now. Years ago, I thought Toy Story was good. Now, I hope you guys do next year's Cars in IMAX. THAT would be cool.

It would not be the longest movie, because I believe Matrix Reloaded got that honor. It is I am sure longest 3D movie. I wonder how it will compare to the Digital Projection version. That is probably like comparing apples to oranges though. Too bad there are no DLP IMAX projectors yet. Get on that Spiff! MySpace

The answer is it depends on which theatre you visit. Our local theatre (The Bridge) will only have one size. But they are the same ones we use here at work, and fit very easily over regular glasses (I wear glasses, so I know). They'd likely work for kids as well, they'd just be really big. Some other theatres will have three different sizes.
