We all are aware that Pepsi likes a fair share of celebrity endorsement, and who can blame the firm? Celebs sell products like hotcakes.
This is why the beverage maker jumped at a partnership opportunity with the makers of Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D. The tridimensional documentary will cover all aspects of Katy’s life, both as an artist and as an individual, all in crystal-clear 3D.
Pepsi spotted that promoting the tridimensional flick can be a glorious opportunity to plaster its logo and tagline “Live for…

We’ve seen the sweet side of 3D, the boney one, and more recently we’ve witnessed the format used in superfast printing. Now, the time has come for it to assist in reconstructing history, Rome in 320 AD, to be exact.

The project, wittily called Rome Reborn, is aimed to…

Nope, it’s not another Avatar film, although two more of those are on the way, it’s The Smurfs who are the latest blue characters coming to the big screen in 3D.

The film will feature Katy Perry in her first…

James Cameron, speaking to GamerLive.tv, has revealed his plans for the follow up to his 3D record breaker Avatar.
Many 3D audiences have complained about nausea, with the early teething problems of 3D putting many people off the format completely.
Quite apart from the expensive hardware and the varying degree of quality content, anything that makes viewers feel sick can’t be a good thing. Some of us here at 3DTVWatcher have been known to feel sick…

The PR team at Cake have been busy posting on YouTube as we are but days away from the official launch date of Sky’s new 3D service; the first of it’s kind in the UK. Earlier this month, we were treated to the delights of Stephen Fry’s take on this new technology, along with the stunning revelation that it was in fact, he, who we are to credit as its inventor. Mirth and merriment indeed.
Not to be satisfied with just…
