These tools are mostly unique to animation but the science of them applies to all kinds of film. We’ve been working with Intel, we’re created a, for now, proprietary technology called Intru 3-D. This has all happened pretty much in the last 18 months. They allow you now to actually create an experience where an audience can be immersed into the storytelling.

And so, suddenly these tools are not about some goofy experience in the movie theatre, but actually provide a higher quality tool for filmmaking. When people were shooting movies in black and white and color came along, it didn’t just change that you shot it with a different film stock. And as revolutionary as digital projection is to the movie theatre, the new generation of authoring tools are even more impactful and are making a greater contribution. Now you have digital projection with absolute perfect synchronicity out of a digital projector, very powerful light coming through so you’re not losing the quality of the image.

How can it not look like crap? Right? It takes whatever is on the screen it takes color, and it completely makes it-what else can I say? Terrible. You look goofy, and here’s the thing: I’m looking through red and blue lenses one eye is red and one eye is blue. So you don't have a high quality experience in the movie theatre until these glasses came along, polarized glasses which are comfortable and simple and it’s not my father’s 3-D. You try to get them perfectly aligned with one another, which is physically impossible to do because film running through sprockets already has jitter in it. Think about what that digital projector does, compared to the two tandem analog projectors.

It’s why I keep talking about this as a revolution-it's really about digital authoring. I walked out of that, I picked up the phone on a Saturday, called every executive in my studio and said, get down there and see this right away, because this changes everything for us. Even though Zemeckis designed it to be seen as 3-D he actually shot it in 2-D and then it was converted to 3-D.

What was amazing about that for me, because that’s over three years ago, is that it actually was a 2-D movie post-produced in 3-D.
