From reading this thread, it's clear to me that most of you (excluding Dr. Eugene Felikson, !@#$%! and demonrail666) don't have much a clue or interest in 3d technology. Fair enough.

I for one embrace it. The reason why a lot of filmmakers have chosen to take this path is because technology is advancing at such a rapid pace that noone can actually
predict what the future of 3d will bring. To shoot a film in this way has it's advantages. If we get to the point where the convergence/focus issues can be miraculously resolved,
old stock will be remastered to look a lot more realistic and natural to the eye, than it does now.

For much the same reason why a smart filmmaker would shoot his black and white noir film in colour and later have the freedom to saturate it in post, many progressive filmmakers have realized
that it gives them more options further down the line. Afterall, films shot in 3d don't have to land up that way on the big screen. It only gives filmmakers more latitude to decide
what they do with their footage later on.

With new advancements in HDR and 'Magic Motion', things will only get better.

To have a true understanding of film, filmmakers need to embrace and understand the different aspects of filmmaking and the technologies that come with it.
After all, a lot more is required from a filmmaker than just 'creativity' and a 'good story'. The sooner wannabe 'filmmakers' realize it, the better.

Trust me, you don't want to get left behind in this business.
