While France is opting out from the 3D TV channel scene, 3D king, James Cameron, is convinced there is not enough 3D content out there.
In fact, he is keen on bringing more movies in 3D, new programmes and live sporting events.
The famous director has recently opened an office in Melbourne, Australia, where he has already executive produced, Sanctum 3D, and now plans to film an immersive documentary about what is happening on the very bottom of North of Papua New Guinea’s Mariana Trench.
Some of you might remember that stormy waters are nothing new to the director who recently converted the Titanic into the tridimensional format.
Industry insiders did not wait to share their criticisms of Mr Cameron’s 3D enthusiasm, saying that there weren’t any tridimensional cinema smash hits since Avatar thus underlining the audience’s waning interest in 3D.
However, Mr Cameron insisted:
”If you look at the buzz around movies, it seems to centre around the 3D films because it gives them an event status.
”With 3D as an enhancer to any viewing experience, I think the whole industry is missing the point when they think that it has to be big, spectacular explosions and fantasy subjects to be good in 3D. Just watching human behaviour in 3D is very, very compelling.”
He concluded that within four years, when 3D viewing will require no glasses, the format will dominate all video content.
