trailer break: ‘Step Up 3D’Take a break from work: watch a trailer... Is this the wrongest use of 3D ever? It might be. Not that I totally can’t wait to get that one guy’s elbow in my face. Cuz that’s gonna be cool. I love how the trailer tells us that this is from director Jon M. Chu, like that means something. His only previous work of any note whatsoever is Step Up 2: The Streets. It’s not like he’s Martin Scorsese or James Cameron, where people are going, “Oo, that dude’s got a new movie?” Or have fans of Step Up 2: The Streets decided Chu is some sort of auteur who deserves worship no matter what he does? If Chu made a black-and-white three-hour epic about Latvian glassblowers, would all those Step Up 2: The Streets devotees flock to it because it’s from director Jon M. Chu? Step Up 3D opens in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. on August 6. Disqus commentsblog comments powered by Disqus |

Now, there's a QotD - Can we suggest bad use of the technology? I challenge them to "Waiting for Godot 3D"

Cheesy dance films aside, the use of 3D as an enhancement to dance video COULD be pretty cool. It would take some pretty elaborate camera work though - the steady-3d-cam operator would almost have to become part of the performance...
