More on the Growing 3D Wave


Speaking of Coraline and Monsters vs. Aliens and Bolt, there is quite an upsurge in the number of 3D films on the docket for the next couple years, and if anything that's an understatement. Part of the reason is advances in 3D technology made available through HD video, as this Popular Mechanics article by Erin McCarthy explores. Given the periodical this is a technical article, though it's written for a general/non-specialist article (it's not as in-depth as a good American Cinematographer piece). It's a little off the beaten path for this blog, but since a majority of these films are for children I thought it pertinent to look at the advancing technology behind the films. I'm always glad when general interest magazines like this one publish articles on kids' lit, film, and television; it's nice to be on the greater cultural landscape.
