Filing with the Avatar equipment is prohibitively expensive, that's why only someone with money to burn like Cameron attempts it.

Although now Lucas will probably feel the shrink on his peen and reissue the whole Star Wars saga in 3-D. Smiley: rolleyes
Like Burton doesn't have buckets full of cash.

Not that he's willing to stake, apparently.

Not that I consider it a real loss, anyway. After a certain point all of Burton's films are basically the same thing ad nauseam.

Nothing he makes will beat The Nightmare Before Christmas. One of my most favorite Disney films, and then Kingdom Hearts made it even more awesome.

I'm sorry guys, when the science fiction writers have been in this much agreement for so long about a future tech, it's going to happen. The writers usually get the "when" wrong on gestalts like this, but they don't get the "what" wrong.


So we'll be calculating hyperspace jumps using slide rules any day now? Or ever?
Depends on whether or not electricity (and/or quantum computers) work normally in hyperspace.

Though, given the option between doing it on paper and using a slide rule, I'd rather do it on paper. Five-digit precision (which is what a good, really high-end slide rule is capable of, unfortunately) still works out to about 0.3 AU per light year worth of error - enough to stick you inside your destination rather than on the outskirts of its solar system for any trip of reasonable length.

I had thought this too until I remembered an interview I had heard with Tim Burton, well before the movies release.

Burton got all snippy and defensive with the interviewer when asked about 'jumping on the 3-D bandwagon', claiming the movie (and I had presumed, it's 3-Dness) was in production a long time and was well under way when the other movies (Avatar) came out.



What I mean is Avatar used a different filming technique for its 3D while Alice was shot like a conventional movie then converted to 3D. That doesn't mean Burton didn't plan for Alice in 3D from the start. It does make a difference visually.


From a quick google search:

Quote:
The live-action principal photography for "Avatar" was shot in New Zealand last fall and winter using the Fusion 3-D camera system. Cameron first used the Fusion to make his 2003 Imax 3-D film "Ghosts of the Abyss"; he and "Ghosts" director of photography Vince Pace invented the camera system for the project.


Quote:
Alice in Wonderland has been “Burtonized” with its heavy Gothic elements, and its visual detail. Like most films these days, it’s in 3D and utilizes a lot of CGI. When the director appeared at the official press conference for the movie he discussed the controversial reasoning behind why he shot the film in 2D and converted it later
Lol. This morning on the radio they were talking to Cameron about Avatar and the future of 3-D. He was chastising the producers of Clash of the Titans, because apparently the 3-D for this movie was, indeed, added in after production. He also was poopooing Burton's sloppy technique. :)

The rest of the story focused on the lack of 3-D screens. This weekend there will be 3 big 3-D movies out. Theater owners are going to have to decide what they'll be showing on the 3-D screen.

Of course it's only my opinion but James Cameron's a pompous jerk.

I'll catch Clash of the Titans in 2D, knowing that I'm not missing anything that was intended in the original "vision". Such as any "vision" of yet another 1980's nostalgia remake can exist.

Besides, I haven't heard if Bupo is in this one and 3D without a clicking & whirring mechanical golden owl flying at you isn't really a 3D experience.
