3DX Festival Singapore Day 1

i learned alot from this festival. i meet big people. as in really, really BIG BIG ppl.
Brendan Fraser, i was sitting behind him oni. LOL Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of Dreamworks Animation SKG; n Mark Zoradi, President of Walt Disney Studios Film Entertainment.

im gonna share with u what had they said here. it really got me start thinking more deeply in the CG industry in the future and inspired me.

Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of Dreamworks Animation SKG -
The film industry is turning into 3D. Dreamworks Animation are all gonna start producing in 3D starting from year 2009, Monsters VS Aliens.
His 3D doesnt mean those 3D stuff tht we did n produce in Maya n all, but the 3D tht u need to watch with the special glasses. The 3D that we're all doin now in Maya is consider as 2D. haha
He said, in 7-8 years from now u will see all movies in 3D. From films,to TV series, dramas, ADs and so on. Being asked y is he so sure bout that, he said : when movie 1st started in many many many years ago, there's only pictures, but no sound. n Later on, there's sound. movies without sound were left-out. After that, colors were added. Then B&W movies were left-out. n Later on, 2D(the Maya 1) was created. n now, ppl wanna feel the movie, ppl wanna be in the movie. and 3D was created, sooner or later, the films u'reall watching now will be left-out as well...
1 day, 3D glasses would be a fashion trend. Everyone will own a 3D glasses that can be use as sunglasses when u're outside.
He then showed a lil bit of Monsters VS Aliens in 3D. it's more than the trailer u saw in cinemas. Nobody have seen it b4, besides the ppl in Dreamworks of course.
Basically he's trying to tell us to start making 3D movies. the CG world is changing. u can watch 3D from IMAX, cinemas or even, AT HOME. this is the important thing i take note of. x)
he also showed an 3D Animated film which will be release in 2009, Coraline. guess what, it's from the creator of Nightmare Before Christmas!!! MUST WATCH.

Mark Zoradi, President of Walt Disney Studios Filmed Entertainment -
He said, when we make a film, STORY is very important. ppl always go for story story story story but that is not wrong. but now, d demand has changed. start thinking bout story story technology technology. demand is high now,ppl wanna experience the movie. From motion pictures, now is EMOTION pictures. *wow,i love this statement*
He didnt talk much, but he SHOWED alot of Disney Pixar's future films' trailers. There's Beauty n The Beast 3D, Tron 3D, Toy Story 1 2 3 in 3D, Boltz 3D, Up 3D, GForce 3D, Cars 3D, and some concept arts for Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton and the Christmas Carol. ALLL these, none in the world has seen it b4. n another privilege, they showed Bolt 3D, the whole movie. it's not release anywhere in the world yet. haha! it's nice tho, LET IT BEGINNNNN!!!!

after all these, i guess u all know what this festival is for right? TIME TO CHANGE TO 3D!!!
n this is where a BIG question appear in me. how am i gonna watch? i got 1 eye cannot see 1. n 3D needs both eyes for the glasses. hhahahah! no answer still. LOL nvm, ill stick to 2D larh. xD

so these are the important thing i wanna share, and if i can recall anything tht i've missed out, ill update over here. x)
