Sure, it was The Adventures of Tin-Tin.
I was interested in it but then i read it was all depth and no pop out and didn't purchase it so i haven't watched it yet, i guess from your post it doesn't even have good depth going for it and it's a title that i'll probably end up watching in 2D.Bob Furmanek said:Sure, it was The Adventures of Tin-Tin.
I remember my first look at 3D TV and it was also in a trailer and I think it was a Mitsubishi rear projection TV.Richard V said:This seems like a good time to mention something regarding the "pop out factor". Years ago, when 3D TV was in its' infancy, and there were no TVs on the market yet, my local high end home theater store had a demo of the 3D technology. They had a long semi-trailer parked in their lot and invited people to come in and check out the images. Now, I could be wrong, cause my memory is not what it used to be, but what I remember was that the images on the screen, ALL popped out. It did not look as if the TV had depth, it looked like all the images floated out in FRONT of the TV, all the time. I left shaking my head in amazement. Perhaps my memory is wrong, or the technology was changed, or it was too expensive, etc, but todays 3D TV sets do not look at all like the demo I saw that day.
The image from many of the 3D titles I watch on my Panasonic AE8000 projector appear to be floating a few inches from the wall.SFMike said:Many of the older IMAX 3D films were shot like that with all the imaging being forward the screen plane. I recall really liking this in your face 3D presentation but it does not work as well on small screens. Only when your entire field of view is covered does this seem to work best. I still find it amazing how the IMAX 3D countdown title used sometimes before the 3D feature is such a great demo of in your face 3D that after viewing it it's kind downhill as regards to depth and 3D fun afterwards. I know it is on a couple of the IMAX bluray releases and has that same effect at home.

I've noticed that they've recently (within the past year or two) started scaling back the IMAX countdown, I'm guessing precisely so it doesn't overwhelm the film. It used to be that it would show in full 1.44:1 IMAX before a film of any ratio, and now they have different versions so that the aspect ratio of the countdown matches the aspect ratio of the film. So no more full giant screen IMAX logos before a 2.35:1 film. I get why they do it, but I have to admit I kinda miss seeing the largest version of it.SFMike said:I still find it amazing how the IMAX 3D countdown title used sometimes before the 3D feature is such a great demo of in your face 3D that after viewing it it's kind downhill as regards to depth and 3D fun afterwards.
Right....you can't top the 1:44:1 version with your feature. They showed this version before the IMAX3D showing of "Avatar" and I remember when Jake was first entering his avatar's body there was a light tunnel kind of effect and there was so much less depth to it than in the tunnel effect in the countdown. I felt this was a real missed opportuinty by James Cameron to highlight the 3D effect. I agree with others that much of the public's dissatisfiction of 3D is lack of pop-out. If you pay extra for 3D you should be noticing the effect.Josh Steinberg said:I've noticed that they've recently (within the past year or two) started scaling back the IMAX countdown, I'm guessing precisely so it doesn't overwhelm the film.

[color=rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:16px;]Now Todd, you know the Archive could not do anything with DOMO ARIGATO unless it at least had a chance to work on your other two 3-D favorites: THE NEBRASKAN and THE STEWARDESSES.[/color].Todd J Moore said:You mean you aren't working to restore Domo Arigato?
I'm disappointed. Sort of. Kind of. Not really.
