That 3D effects are only visually perceived for objects that are small and close.<br /><br />The section at 2 minutes in, where Candy and co are moving small objects closer and farther, are there to get small objects close to the camera to strengthen the 3D effect. <br /><br />I realize this is a parody, but it's spot on. All older 3D movies had such scenes. <br /><br />John Wayne stood with a rifle on his hip angled out so the muzzle was close to the camera in <i>Hondo</i>, his 3D movie.<br /><br /><i>Jaws 3D</i> had a close up of a syringe squirting at the camera. <br /><br />One 3D trailer had a yoyo expert flinging dual yoyos at the camera from close up.<br /><br /><i>Captain EO</i>, Michael Jackson's 3D short shown at Disneyland, had a small meteor hovering close to the camera in the intro.<br /><br />So the directors used to know how to make effective use of 3D. They just couldn't make a whole movie out of such scenes.<br /><br />Now, with CGI, the technology is there to make such movies. <i>Toy Story</i>, <i>Toy Story 2</i>, <i>A Bug's Life</i>, <i>Antz</i>, <i>Finding Nemo</i> all could work wonderfully well in 3D. <br /><br />I don't think this will happen, because such movies are able to have scripts and plots far superior to ordinary Hollywood fare. That's what really pulls in the audiences.<br /><br />My best guess is that without actors in front of the camera, the writers are given much greater input. <br /><br />Actors become pure voice, which is great news, because as the British theater says, the three most important things in acting are voice, voice, and voice.Astute Commentersnoreply@blogger.com
