Trouble in the 3rd Dimension for Transformers 3?

This could be a problem, hopefully there's no set backs because of it.

Strangely enough, that was the FIRST thing that popped into my head when they talked about making this 3D. Michael Bay's "Shoot for the Edit" and quick cuts, while great as 2D pieces that move things along at a frantic pace are WAY too jerky to really effectively work with the current 3D tech. Avatar doesn't have a ton of those frantic action cuts at all. Most of it is panning, and even when it goes 'hand-held' it's no where NEAR as nuts as when Bay goes hand held.

Hopefully they'll clean it up.

All I can say is, "Ruh Roh, Michael!"

I always watch my movies in 2D anyway, so no loss for the James.

i just hope this will improve things. i mean there was a loop hole in the first movie (Barricade), and there were plenty in ROTF.

I'll probably see it in 2d anyways...but I hope this doesn't cause any...more...problems...

I knew some dumb ass shit whoud happen. It always happens.

I just can't stop myself from doing this. Name them.

Yeah, the shooting style of Bay def contributed to this fiasco. Honestly, being Paramount demanded such a high turnaround....I'm not at all surprised at all the issues popping up. Whats the tally now?

1. Filming halted in Washington

2. BB car crash fiasco

3. Extra injured on set

4. Pending lawsuit

5. Cancelation of sequence due to location and budget

6. 3D Footage is "garbage"

7. Megan Fox walked.

I'm at 6, I'm sure I missed something though. Honestly, I think Paramount should have waited till 2011, bieng this summer ALOT of big league films are going to hit, which will no doubt give TF3 more then ample competition. I don't predict the same phenom last year where it Bogart'd the entire summer boxoffice due to a lack of competition. If they waited till 2011, they would have had less competition, and work out all of these impending bugs.

Aw well, I think if they can't edit and cut around whats been shot, they'll need to re-shoot or cut their losses and ditch the 3D being filming with the 3d cameras demands more time and patience...patience not being Bays strong suit. Nor can Paramount afford the time for that matter.

i wont pay to see it in 3d anyway.

The footage looks like slag? Nah, that's just the robot designs!

HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!! I knew this would happen.

Michael Bay's site moderator Nelson commented this article. He simply said: "BS".
You can draw the conclusions for yourselves.
By the way let's not forget that Michael Bay said that before filming started they made a test if his filming style will look good in 3D and they were very satisfied with the result. Then they decided to go 3D. So I really I don't believe that suddenly the footage turned to be so bad.

Well this just proves to me that 3D does not equal quality.

It also shows that haste IS waste. The studio demanded the 3rd
film ready for next year and more or less forced Michael Bay
to work with new technology that he was unfamiliar with and
did not want to. Know we can read why.

This is going to cost more time and money. Somehow I doubt that
the studio will have learned anything from this event.

Just my thoughts.

And now here is what Michael Bay thinks of this article (taken from Shoot for the Edit):

"Wow, I read these morons on the internet who think they are in the know. "We have have problems with our 3D????" Really? Come into my edit room and I will show you beautiful 3D. There has never been a live action show that has pushed the boundaries of 3D like Transformers 3. We shot the entire movie with 3D cameras. I actually loved shooting in 3D. I will give full details of my process and why I liked 3D in the next week right before the Transformers announcement piece comes out on Tron and Narnia.

Michael"

And a second comment:

"And don't watch this movie in 2D, we made it for 3D."


So this is a direct confirmation that TF3 trailer will debut with Tron and Narnia. And also that the whole movie is shot with 3D cameras and looks great.

Bonecrusher's alt mode appeared but didn't do anything. Jolt appeared only in the Climax. Megs was resurrected by using a Constructicon's spark and the piece of the cube. Wheelie seem to have disappeared. Barricade didn't appear.

my point is this movie was only nominated for best sound while razzies piled up despite 2009 biggest earner. they have to make this movie 2011's biggest hit.

Who cares? I only watch regular and not 3D.

I'd enjoy 3D films more if they made glasses I could actually wear over my glasses, thats the big flaw of 3D tech. I've only seen one pair of glasses that fit over my own, for a samsung 3D TV, and it is not like I have huge glasses or anything.

Wait, Mikey's 'brand' of shooting has created issues with the quality of what will be seen?

Noooooo, you're kidding.

Lol.




However, in this instance I do hope they get a handle on it. I've already promised my son we'd go see it in 3D.

i would have to agree with bay with this one ever 3d movie ive seen when action is fast paced 3d effects look littel blury when movie is still slow motion effects paning motion thats when you can see 3d effects in there full potiontial i saw resident evil in 3d corworkers like crazy about it 3d stuff i ddint see to many stuff in when there was 3d involved in fast action scenes most of time it was blurry.

do i hate 3d yes i gave 3d shot it didint work out for me maybe hollywood will catch on making everymovie in 3d will garrentee you alot of money as avatar did avatar made its money with its characters, effects not with 3d. 3d or no 3d it would of made same amount of money either way maybe littel less since 3d tickets are few dollars more than 2d.

me i see all movies in 2d
