Even the most riveting films are restrained by their spatial limitations, viewable only on a two-dimensional screen. Three-dimensional cinema has introduced an entirely new way of viewing movies on the silver screen. While 3D cinema is not altogether new, recent advances in technology have brought a new crop of 3D movies into theaters -- and with them, novel technical challenges. The nature of 3D movie projection requires precise measurement of the angles involved in order to properly display the image. Unlike conventional screens, 3D screens have a distinct "gain," or relative brightness, which must be factored into the equation.
Three-dimensional movies are taking over our cinemas, though, as of 2011, many would argue they aren't living up to their billing. Whatever your opinion on 3D cinema, it is growing rapidly and there are a few companies delivering these movies to our big screens. IMAX, however, does things a little differently.
IMAX 3D takes the stereoscopic illusions prevalent in most 3-D films and sizes it up -- way, way up. IMAX itself is a well-known entertainment venue, famous for presenting films on gigantic screens to provide an immersive entertainment experience. IMAX 3D takes the IMAX experience a step further, introducing the illusion of depth to the already enormous images on the screen through polarization 3-D technology.
Many major Hollywood blockbusters are being released into theaters in both 2D and digital 3D versions. Some theaters may show both versions at varying times of the day, while other theaters may only show the 3D version. If you're trying to decide which version you want to spend your hard earned money on, you can do so by weighing the pros and cons of each.
3-D technology used in movie theaters include Imax, RealD 3D and Dolby Digital 3D. These three leading competitors are the theater owners' options for the 3-D system to use in their cinemas. While each system has specific differences, all of them have one thing in common: the use of 3-D glasses. Imax is primarily based on film technology, while RealD 3D and Dolby Digital 3D are both digital 3-D formats. In the case of RealD 3D and Dolby Digital 3D, their differences are more technical than visual in nature.
IMAX cinemas show three-dimensional film productions that require you to wear 3D glasses in order to experience the three-dimensional effects on the screen. The glasses are linear polarized plastic glasses, and the films that are produced for IMAX 3D are made specifically for the IMAX 3D films. You can use the glasses for other three-dimensional film experiences, but the glasses are paired best with the 3D IMAX experience.

3D glasses have been around for many years and can be worn to give the impression that an image is jumping out at the wearer. This gives a two-dimensional picture some added depth. RealD is a producer of 3D technologies, and manufacturers 3D glasses to be worn to view three-dimensional images on a television. Traditionally, 3D glasses were worn in movie theaters to watch 3D movies. However RealD 3D glasses have the added benefit of working on special televisions that are compatible with the glasses. Any compatible television will have the RealD 3D logo on the box or side panel.…

Many of the films today come with massive budgets, special effects and movie sets that are so realistic the moviegoers forget they are watching a film. Designing a movie to have this effect on the audience takes artistic and visionary skills on par with the film's writer, directors and actors. Movie design is its own form of art, and when it is done correctly, can mean the difference between a good movie and a great one. Being in charge of a movie's design will require you to work collaboratively on many levels, since you will be the common thread among…
All that is needed to make a 3D movie is two pieces of recording equipment (web cams or video cameras), a computer and 3D movie making software. In some cases, 3D glasses are required for viewing. The recording devices should both be placed on a stable surface, pointed in the same direction to film simultaneously, and spaced about 2.5 inches apart from the center of both lenses. Better pictures come from the right amount of depth, so whatever is being recorded should be 15 to 20 feet away from the cameras.
