Also, just because these directors have started out on a small scale doesn't mean that they never aspired to take on larger projects, they are mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14949311359924576196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407454496468251136.post-87923254960170995882010-01-07T19:35:46.934-05:002010-01-07T19:35:46.934-05:00Good point about piracy, though I thought Up used ...Good point about piracy, though I thought Up used 3D well since it gave things depth and height...Joey Magidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10465870030357008701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407454496468251136.post-79309264412366219692010-01-07T19:33:28.936-05:002010-01-07T19:33:28.936-05:00I am yet to be convinced by 3D.

Whilst I haven't seen Avatar yet and therefore, my position might alter slightly, I have yet to see a film where the fact that it was in 3D made it a better film.<br /><br />I saw Up in 3D and felt that there was very little benefit from the 3D.

I mean it has the potential to become as cliched as American tv dramas casting British actors following the success of Hugh Laurie as House.

As for projects already in any stage of production, I think the studios should allow the directors to continue with what they intended before the success of Avatar. If they want to try to persuade a director towards using 3D fine.
