Director James Cameron and 3D cinematographer Vincent Pace to talk about their perspectives on the stereoscopic movie-making and their new film Avatar

…“If I could have shot Titanic in 3D I would have,” declared Cameron. “Any spectacle would benefit from it.”

[Vincent] Pace, who supplies 3D camera systems and post production, noted that there’s a knee-jerk reaction that only big players in Hollywood will attempt 3D movie-making. “The proof of concept and visionary aspect happened eight years ago with the documentary on the Titanic,” he said, “Not big budget films but people committed to changing entertainment. There’s nothing in the entertainment palette that can’t be considered in 3D, whether it’s nature, documentaries, sports…it’s been proofed out and we’ve seen successes across the board.”
