VIDEO: IMAX Shows Why its 4K Camera, Could Get You Watching 3D Movies Again

Is 3D Video on the Decline, Destined to Return to the Realm of Novelty ? Not if you Ask IMAX. The Company has just Detailed a Large-Format 4K Camera that Could Give 3D Movies a (Frankly Needed) Visual Boost. The Trick, the Company Says, is that, the Camera is Fully Integrated; since it Doesn't Need a Beam Splitter and Separate Lenses, it Can Stay Compact while Maintaining IMAX's Dramatic 1.9:1 Aspect Ratio. That Portability (Less than Half the Weight of Rivals) Allows for Fast-Action Shots that would Otherwise be Off-Limits. The Camera also Saves Video from just before the Operator Hits the Record Button so, Documentary Makers Shouldn't Miss Unexpected Moments. If you're Curious to See Whether these Grand-Scale Visuals are Worth Watching, you Won't Have to Wait Long. Explosion-Loving Director, Michael Bay, has already Used IMAX's Rig to Shoot Transformers: Age of Extinction and the Nature Doc Island of Lemurs: Madagascar also Makes Use of the Technology. The New Hardware Won't Make Up for any Lackluster Storylines but, it Might Get you to Splurge on a 3D Viewing, When you're Otherwise on the Fence.
