By now we all know that Avatar won the 'Best Motion Picture - Drama' and 'Best Picture' Golden Globes, while racking up over over $1.6 billion in international box office (boxofficemojo). Very nice, but what does it mean for Stereo-3D fans?
Considered by many to be the official arrival of Digital Stereo-3D filmmaking, Avatar sets a high bar for future 3D films and smacks naysayers upside the head. Smacks, I tell you! Equally impressive is the use of motion capture - a technique that usually leaves me creeped out - but felt perfect for the amazing world of Pandora.
Cameron is now heading to Australia to oversee production on Sanctum, an underwater thriller using the same 3D shooting techniques as Avatar.
Sanctum is directed by Alister Grierson from a screenplay by Andrew Wight and John Garvin. Read more at the Herald Sun.
