In August of 2009, a new film called Final Destination 4 will debut—a 3D sequel to the ongoing horror franchise. The movie was shot by DP Glen MacPherson’s team using Pace/Cameron Fusion HD camera rigs outfitted with Sony Cinealta F23 cameras. That configuration has been growing in popularity across the industry in recent months since it was developed by digital 3D pioneer Vince Pace in collaboration with director James Cameron. What makes its use on Final Destination 4 particularly interesting is that the film was essentially shot on location, run-and-gun style, rather than on a strictly controlled bluescreen or greenscreen stage.
Millimeter Senior Editor Michael Goldman recently chatted with Vince Pace about how the technology was applied to this project, and where 3D digital filmmaking is going next across the industry. Here is the first part of their conversation. Look for part two in the next issue of HD Focus.
