This month, the San Francisco International Arts Festival is going to feature a stereoscopic film that doesn’t feature 3D glasses. The film, created by Walter Funk of Hologlyphics and titled “Spaceforms: Homage to Homer”, will allow viewers to walk around the viewing area; when the viewers’ position changes, so will the perspective of the scene being viewed. The experience will combine animation, live footage, action, and sound to create the ultimate experience. To quote the press release: Audience members will be able to walk around the viewing area, watching Spaceforms from multiple angles. As their viewing position changes, so will the perspective of the scene they are watching. Nebulas, Saturn,…

Title: Born to Be Wild Directed by: David Lickley Starring: Daphne Sheldrick, Birute Galdikas, Morgan Freeman, Elephants, Orangutans Cute, touching and vague. That’s all one needs to know about the 40 minute “Born to Be Wild” documentary. Yep, just 40 minutes of elephants and orangutans running around, all while Morgan Freeman narrates.

Director Bryan Singer has announced that he’s planning on shooting his next movie, the 3D ‘Jack The Giant Killer,’ mainly using natural light, Cinemablend.com is reporting. While directors typically use bright light while filming 3D movies so the final result doesn’t appear dark, Singer instead plans on using the new EPIC Red camera. Singer told the Red User forums that he plans on using mostly electrical lighting because “the movie is set in a time before electricity.” He added that “EPIC’s extraordinary exposure latitude will allow (him) to more effectively explore the use of natural light.” However, the director didn’t confirm if he will be following in Stanley Kubrick’s footsteps…
