What do you get when you mix
more3D, Adobe, Maxon, fmx/09 and Digital Production Magazine together?
Well, you get invaZion '09 The 3-D
Stereo Short film Challenge.
What is invaZion '09?
invaZion '09 is the world's first contest for
stereoscopic shortfilms! And you can be part of it.
Due to the help of computers in animation, creating 3-D stereo movies became
much easier and more affordable than ever. In fact, adding depth to screens is
by far the greatest leap in cinematopgraphy since stereo audio and color. More
than that, it´s the next logical step. That´s what we believe in. That`s what
the future is all about.
Creating 3-D stereo movies means much more than "only" rendering a second
camera
view: used wisely, it can provide a complete new way of directing
movies, like adding dramaturgy, modifying perceived size or volume and even the
emotional proximity to the audience through depth. It also means thinking of
the newly gained Z-space allready during the planning and production phase of
your project.
more3D and its industry partners now call for the invaZion challenge as a
worldwide shortfilm competition, giving you the final reason to get ready for
3-D stereo, measuring yourself with artists all over the globe. The winners
will be announced in May, 2009.
