3-Duh

Hey, professors who told me shooting my senior thesis in stereo would be gimmicky -- suck on this:

"'When you look at the history of film, there have been to date two great revolutions—sound and color,' Jeffrey Katzenberg, the head of Dreamworks Animation and a tireless promoter of 3-D, told me. 'This will be the third great revolution. People are still somewhat skeptical and wonder if it’s a gimmick and if it is better suited to cartoons. I don’t believe that for a second. I think the day after Jim Cameron’s movie comes out, it’s a new world.' Michael Lewis, the C.E.O. of RealD, the leading 3-D projection company, says, 'The industry is looking for its Citizen Kane, its definitive work of 3-D, and Avatar may be that film.'"
