Shooting in 3D is all the rage right now and is a trend that comes and goes. Many think it may be here to stay now… other believe, like all the other times, it will fade away soon. But everyone agrees it is here right now.
Generally speaking, when a film intends on being a 3D film today it’s planned well in advance. Scenes are shot with 3D in mind. The proper gear is used to shoot with 3D in mind. Essentially you shoot the film as a 3D film.
However… with today’s technology, that’s not always the case. Case in point, “Iron Man 2″
Director Jon Favreau always wanted to shoot “Iron Man 2″ in 3D, but for a few reasons didn’t do it, and the film was shot in the traditional manner. Now,the studio is toying with the idea of converting Iron Man 2 into a 3D film utilizing modern technology to do it. Apparently the comic book and film company had one minute of the sequel converted into 3D as a demo that apparently impressed all who saw it. So impressed that they sent out a request to three companies that do this sort of conversion to ask for quotes and more importantly, how long it would take to complete the procedure.
No word yet on it this will happen or not, but it does raise the question: Would you be interested in an Iron Man 2 film that was converted to 3D? (Source: AICN)
