Stereoscopic3D has a number of factors that must be
addressed differently compared to 2D productions. This can lead to higher
production costs and create unpleasant viewing experiences for audiences.
However, when done correctly, the vast majority of society is embracing the new
3D revolution with open arms and are thoroughly excited as to where the
technology is potentially heading. Production companies are aware of this.
Therefore, the increased budget and potential limitations of 3D have become
justifiable through the success stereoscopic3D has received such as box office
revenue. That’s certainly not to say 2D production is going to be dead and
buried anytime soon though. Even if 3D technology is improving rapidly, there
is still a long way for it to go. Miller (2012) supports this stating not only
does a film’s content have to be produced correctly but “Hollywood must also
correct the technological aspects of 3D as well”.
