MUST WATCH: New Featurette On The 3D Conversion Of Pixar's FINDING NEMO 3D!
Well Pixar may not have known it at the time of making FINDING NEMO that it would make such a great 3D movie - but clearly it is such a beast. All those underwater scenes, floating objects in front of you, surface water approaching the camera and particulate matter suspended in mid-water all are going to make for stunning immersion and I can't wait to see it!
Indeed, the creative talent behind the movie used all of these advantages to help shape the 3D conversion final rendering of the movie.
FINDING NEMO was already in my top five Pixar movies of all time and now adding on 3D? A no-brainer really.
The following featurette includes segments from Andrew Stanton (Director), Lee Unkrich (Co-Director), John Lasseter (Executive Producer), Josh Hollander (Director of 3D Production) and a friend of mine - Bob Whitehill (3D Supervisor).
Here's the storyline for the movie:
In the colorful and warm tropical waters of the Great Barrier Reef, a Clownfish named Marlin lives safe and secluded in a quiet cul-de-sac with his only son, NEMO. Fearful of the ocean and its unpredictable risks, he struggles to protect his son. Nemo, like all young fish, is eager to explore the mysterious reef. When Nemo is unexpectedly taken far from home and thrust into a dentist's office fish tank, Marlin finds himself the unlikely hero on an epic journey to rescue his son. In his quest, Marlin is joined by a good Samaritan named Dory, a Regal Blue Tang fish with the worst short-term memory and biggest heart in the entire ocean. As the two fish continue on their journey, encountering numerous dangers, Dory's optimism continually forces Marlin to find the courage to take risks and overcome his fears. In doing so, Marlin gains the ability to trust and believe, like Dory, that things will work out in the end. Confronting seabirds, sewer systems, and even man himself, father and son's fateful separation ends in triumph. And the once-fearful Marlin becomes a true hero in the eyes of his son, and the entire ocean.
