Half Dome – Yosemite Musing

3D . . .  as in 3 Dimensions. When I was a kid, the world was in black and white. I can prove it … all the photos we have are in B&W. Now, coming soon – a 3D movie on Yosemite.  A San Diego company called “3DFF” (3D Film Factory) is shooting the project and it will be offered for sale through their website.  The 45-minute production, now in its early stages, is expected to be completed by late fall. A preview trailer for the film can be seen on YouTube at www.youtube.com/3deefilm. I gotta warn you - you need the anaglyph (red/blue) glasses to view it. I tossed mine out after watching Attack of the 50-Foot Woman. Since I wear spectacles and my left eye is crummy, 3D glasses is not high on my fun meter.  The industry is driving to produce 3D movies for the home audience without using glasses. They will shoot the movies with multiple cameras spaced close to each other to produce the depth  effect.  The above 3D camera sells for  about $3K. Not bad, considering.  Call me when they get a 4D system. I want to go back in time.
