AVATAR DIRECTOR CAMERON PROMISES MORE INVENTIVE 3D

James Cameron has made an in-depth defense of 3D movies and has promised to use the technology in more inventive ways in his upcoming sequels to Avatar. “I’m going to open up my depth more on the Avatar sequels,” he told an audience at London’s 3D Creative Summit. “In my defense, I thought I might be making a three-hour movie and nobody had ever gone more than 90 minutes so we didn’t know if people were going to go cross-eyed and have their eyeballs melt. Now we know good stereo is good stereo and you can watch it indefinitely.” As reported by the British trade publication Screen Daily, Cameron urged his colleagues to “go nuts” with 3D and “embrace this technology as an art form.”
