Video Entertainment: Hollywood Looks to Videogames?
Published May 20, 2011 | 
To some it comes as no surprise to see Hollywood looking closely at videogame technology in the quest to produce popular Avatar-style movies that are rooted in the technology for 3-D motion capture. An Australian technology company, Sydney-based Depth Analysis brings the next stage in the evolution for the technology in the form of what they call “MotionScan.”
Using a network system of stereoscopic cameras, an actor can now be scanned completely devoid of any plastic markers that might serve to complicate and mask their performance. The system developed by Depth Analysis generates a fully rendered model of the performance and textures that is based on what it sees.
What is Hollywood’s Next Big Thing from Videogames?

Hollywood is faced with the task of making movie-going much more immersive than the current movie experience available to movie audiences. Is this a New Kind of Electric Chair?
Imagine a World, Where the Movie Seats Gyrate with the Movie!

Team Altman Great Movies Video Montage!
We really enjoy viewing this tribute to Cinema in 2009 and making note of which movies we were able to view during theatrical release, and add to our DVD collections. In looking back at the year, innovation was evident throughout the year, finishing strong with the recent release of the much anticipated “Avatar 3D,” and we look forward to more innovative films at the Cinema in 2010.
As always enjoy, share and Bring on the New Year!
