Since, the re-release of the classic horror movie, Bloody Valentine in 3D in 1981, many spectators are wondering, "why have the studios waited so long to do another horror movie in 3D."
Senior Biology major, Preston Zimmerman is one of those persons. "The movie in 3D made it so much better," he said. "The movie wasn't scary, but the effects gave it an extra boost."
Apparently, 3D movies cost three times as much to produce because the studios have to use two cameras that record in sequence in order to gain the 3D effect.Now moviegoers are saying, "More 3D please!"
The release of the new Jason movie should have been in 3D. In late 2005, Steven Spielberg told the press he was involved in patenting a 3-D cinema system that does not need glasses, and which is based on plasma screens.
A computer splits each film-frame, and then projects the two split images onto the screen at differing angles, to be picked up by tiny angled ridges on the screen.
