Fallen into disuse in the late 80s, 3D movies are now considered the future of cinema. Proof television (Canal +) who are now moving in channels broadcast in 3D. The recent success of the film Avatar confirms this fact. While this movie is just beginning to land in cinemas, many wonder how the process of the films in 3D.
Why should I wear those ugly red and blue glasses or polarizing? You’ll know all the different techniques used in watching this short, but very educational video from the channel Arte: (more…)

Dissemination of the trailer of “The Last Airbender” at Super Bowl
February 15th, 2010 Administrator Frelia 
In that time held the Super Bowl, the U.S. television event, the final of the U.S. football championship. During commercials, you could see the new trailer for The Last Airbender, the next film of Jackson Rathbone.
The story follows the adventures of Aang, a 10 years old boy who happens to be the successor to a long line of Avatars. Avatars are wise to the incredible powers that can control all the elements, they provide peace of the world. Poor Aang did not have time to sample the joys of childhood because it must cope with the whims of conquest of the Fire Nation wants to assert its power over other nations, Water, Earth and Air.
The output on the big screen in this adaptation of the animated series, is scheduled for 04 August 2010. Needless to say he’ll have to show a little patience.
It looks great right?
The film is directed by M. Night Shyamalan. It was this theory out. It is an adaptation of the cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender, but good since the title was already taken Avatar …

Avatar 3D film visual effects
December 19th, 2009 Administrator Frelia 
While excited to discover that this film was announced several months ago as a revolution in film history, we (me and the children, aged 7 and 10 years) entering the room much earlier than expected. “We invite you to go even now” we said to the girl checking tickets. A few yards away, a gentleman we distribute our pairs of glasses in a plastic container. Glasses “RealD 3D, the company leader in 3D cinema and business applications (NASA labs pharmaceutical industries, etc..). Sony has just concluded with her partner, to integrate its 3D technology (passive or active) in its future LCD TVs BRAVIA 3D and other 3D products coming next year. The two partners also work together to improve a little more rendering 3D projections.
Glasses in hand, we enter the room. It is already almost full. At the same time, the Speaker of the hall announced that the session is complete 3D Avatar. Quickly, he must find three places almost correct. At center, impossible. It’s crowded. Before, it was empty, but it is much too close to the screen. One also wonders how the first three rows of seats may still exist, they are so close to the screen. At the top is too crowded. It only remains that we fold the squares on the side. We’re a bit eccentric, but a good distance. I wonder, however, so this gap with the center of the screen does not affect the 3D effect.
The screen lights up and we struck with mono sound absolutely awful, its traditional pubs and trailers. Among them, of course, Those of Alice in Wonderland in 3D and Shrek 4 also in 3D. 21:00. Children begin to get impatient and wonder when they’ll finally I could put their 3D glasses. After the usual warnings about piracy, the movie starts. I put on my glasses and the journey begins …
The first 3D sequences (those where the soldiers out of their boxes on board the ship that carries on Pandora) are quite amazing depth and detail. The colors are beautiful. Sound daunting. The printing of extra relief. Well that’s nice, but then? I feel more interested in the details of scenery, the background and the technical side of the case that the film itself. But once the Avatar of Jake Sully enters the forest Na’vi there, it’s pure happiness. It was almost giddy when he runs on the trunks of trees above the vacuum, is dazzled when surrounded by species of wolf-dogs to sharp fangs, it vibrates when it is pursued by a kind of wild-dinosaur and he jumps into the void to escape, it is literally under the spell when he rides his dragon-flies, not to mention the sequence of aerial battles and when Neytiri shoots his two deadly arrows at the very end Film. In short, Avatar is a great spectacle. A real fireworks. Children and hang myself. While the film is packed with details and findings designed for 3D. It’s bluffing. A little tiring all the same in the long run, for the eyes and brain are one hell of gymnastics for almost 3 hours to provide that sense of relief, but it’s worth it. Avatar is worth it, anyway. The rest … Shrek or The entry Christmas Scrooge less.
It’s the end, the credits begin to scroll. Some applause resounded in the room. For our part, we are delighted. Children are amazed and I, despite the fatigue, I am captivated by both the beauty of the film and its 3D rendering. History, it resembles that of Dances with Wolves and that of many westerns of the 50s when the Indians were persecuted and driven from their land by the evil Yankees. With the added bonus of now, a little environmental message.
Midnight. We return. In the car on the way we share our feelings and talk about our favorite moments. For children, the 3D was not decisive. For me, some sequences, though, clearly. All aerial sequences.
It’s time to go to bed, images of colorful forests and animals filled the giant head. With the certainty that once Avatar is available in Blu-ray, we will be the first to buy it, but we are not yet ready to break our pull-read to acquire a 3D projector and d ‘ Blu-ray 3D. This may come, but how will he productions as rich as dense as dramatic an Avatar? How will we bear sub-3D movies for an Avatar? Especially in classical 2D, Avatar must be equally spectacular. Because, basically, this is absolutely not the 3D that makes the quality of the film, but his graphic universe, its frame, its sound mix and the beauty of his characters. The 3D is finally a small value.
