Peter Jackson's Hobbit video diary: 3-D

[thewayne]

This installment focuses mainly on 3-D technology. He had FORTY-EIGHT Red cameras shooting at 5,000 lines of resolution and 48 frames a second. It looks like the end result should be quite amazing, but I'm wondering if today's projectors can project at 48 FPS or if it will have to be down-sampled.

Still, pretty cool.

I am not a fan of 3-D as my readers know, but he's going to some great extremes to do it right, so maybe it'll be worthwhile.
