In 2009, Avatar, a 3-D movie directed by James Cameron, became the
most successful motion picture of all time, a technological
breakthrough that has grossed more than $2.5 billion worldwide. Its
seamless computer-generated imagery and live action stereo
photography effectively defined the importance of 3-D to the future
of cinema, as well as all other currently evolving digital
displays. Though stereoscopic cinema began in the early nineteenth
century and exploded in the 1950s in Hollywood, its present status
as an enduring genre was confirmed by Avatar's success. 3-D
Revolution: The History of Modern Stereoscopic Cinema traces the
rise of modern 3-D technology from Arch Oboler's Bwana Devil
(1952), which launched the 50s 3-D boom in Hollywood, to the
rapidly-modernizing 3-D industry today. Ray Zone takes a
comprehensive approach that not only examines the technology of the
films, but also investigates the business, culture, and art of
their production. Influencing new generations of filmmakers for
decades, the evolution of 3-D cinema technology continues to fill
our theaters with summer blockbusters and holiday megahits.
