3-D filmmakers

the long version

"In 3-D Filmmakers: Conversations with Creators of Stereoscopic Motion Pictures, stereographer and film historian Ray Zone presents the insights of twenty-one professionals who have worked in this specialized field." "In this collection of interviews, Zone explores the art and craft of 3-D filmmaking with producers, screenwriters, directors, and cinematographers. Interviewees range from Arch Oboler - producer of Bwana Devil, the 1952 feature that triggered the boom of 3-D films - to producers and cinematographers who have worked with single-strip 3-D film production in the 1970s and '80s, 3-D films in theme parks, current IMAX films, and the new and still-evolving format of digital 3-D cinema. These interviews provide a behind-the-scenes look at more than five decades of this unique medium. This one-of-a-kind book will interest aspiring filmmakers, stereo photography enthusiasts, cinema buffs, devotees of popular culture, and film historians."--Jacket.
