The History of 3D Movies

Ever wonder how 3D movie craze started? Well, put on your plastic-framed anaglyph 3D glasses and come take a stroll down Memory Lane!

First, the science bit: 3D anaglyph images were created using two layers of paint that is shifted slightly when laid on top of each other. Usually the main subject of the image is focused, while in the foreground and background shift from each other to create what is called a "stereoscopic 3D" sliku.Vizualnog cortex in the brain causes the two images together, when you look at them through a special viewer holds two lenses with different color filters, typically red and blue.

British film pioneer William Friese-Greene gets the credit for ushering in the age of stereoscopic films in the late 1980s. Friese-Greene patented 3-D move process in which two films are projected side by side on the film seemed to zaslonu.Stražar stereoscope brought the two images together (see stereoscopes remembering in old timey movies?). However, since the process was so difficult mechanically - think about trying to get two different films to synchronize the display -. It has never been commercially viable for use in the theater

The earliest round of commercial 3D movies, that is, the film shows paying audience came when "The Power of Love" debuted in Los Angeles' Ambassador Hotel Theater at the 27th rujna 1922nd This is the first documented use of the audience from the red-green anaglyph glasses to see the film. Unfortunately the film is not got picked up for wide release and is now lost.

in December 1922 was a great time for a 3D film of the inventor. William Van Doren Kelley, who created the Prism system colors, designed a 3D camera system of their own design and started recording and displaying a series of films called "Plasticon. The first of these was called" a movie about the future, "shown in New York Rivoli Theatre. simultaneously, Laurens Hammond, who went on to invent a Hammond electronic organ, and his partner William F. Cassidy announced his teleview 3D system. teleview use the oldest form of film screenings entitled "Alternate frame sequencing. "This process of alternating right-left frame in the sequence, the audience saw through synchronized viewer attached to their seats.

Although various attempts at anaglyph 3D animation over the next 30 years - most notably the introduction of Edwin H. Land's Polaroid film - format heyday came between 1952 and 1955. This is when the filmmakers tried to make movies "bigger and better than ever," experimenting with a wide anaglyph 3D process. This period is often called "the golden age of 3D ."

is the first full-color stereoscopic feature, "Bwana Devil", was released in 1952. Produced, written and directed by Arch Oboler "Bwana Devil" is a project of dual-strip using a Polaroid filtera.Sada cult of cinema watching 3D movie carries a paper box stereoscopic glasses came to represent the time and American culture 1950th

In April 1953, two innovative 3D film was released: Columbia Pictures '"The man in the dark" and Warner Bros.' "House of Wax." The latter film has become famous for two reasons. "3D King" first use stereo sound and appearance of its star, Vincent Price, who became typecast as a horror film protagonists iSepulcheral the actor other 3D films "Mad magician," "Dangerous missions" and "Son of Sinbad." These enticements to help attract film viewers away from their new fangled TV sets and back into theaters.

Walt Disney Studios - who later became famous for 3D films shown in the "Imagination" exhibit at Epcot Center in Florida -. "Melody", entered the 3D feud with the 1953 release of a movie called Disney unveiled its 3D Disneyland theme park in 1957 with a short called "3D Jamboree." at the end of Michael Jackson starred in the Disney original 3D film for Epcot, "Captain EO," for which viewers were given plastic framed anaglyph 3D glasses that are stored in bins as they leave .
