Favorite 3D Scenes / Best scenes to demo 3D - Blu-ray Forum

Pfreddy · 03-21-2012, 08:39 PM

I'm wondering what specific scenes people are using to show others what 3D is all about? I know there's a thread about BEST 3D discs, but none on specific scenes.
You know the scenario.... so and so is coming over and you want to show them how cool 3D on blu-ray is so you reach for ??? and cue it up to ???.

I'm using a 110" screen with an Epson 5010 projector.

Here's a few of my favorites:

1) HUBBLE. Starting with the AMAZING Imax countdown trailer. NOTHING wow's people more then this as a first impression! It starts all blurry and flat then slowly the countdown comes toward you then bursts into awesome 3D as the "camera" zooms thru the numbers! The sound also is amped up and makes for a great demo! I then let it play past the opening titles (which burst into tiny "stars" that fly right in your face!). I then play it through the shuttle launch.

2) HUGO. Starting with the Paramount logo and running thru the title "HUGO". Its a long segment. But has some truly amazing 3D goodness! The snow flying in your face just past the Paramount logo and then as the camera zooms into the train station...its just killer. Then it continues with amazing depth as HUGO runs through the labyrinth of passages inside the station. I like this sequence alot as it has objects coming out of the screen (snow) and great depth all rolled into one passage.

Would love to hear what others use, so I can switch up my routine once in a while!

Love the Despicable Me scenes ... 1. When the moon is stolen and 2. When the ship crashes to earth and the point almost stabs ya.

Sammy

The snake poking outta the screen

Smurfs (eh!?)

I know it is a surprise but when Gargamel grabs Papa Smurf at the end by the zap from the laser

... I am sure there is more .. will have a gander and get back to ya

Wow.

I get to be the first to bring up the cod in IMAX Under the Sea. It's at about the 21 minute mark and is a great effect.

Another of my favorites is the cheeseburger rain scene in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

Captain Jack · 03-21-2012, 09:58 PM

Chapter 3 on Sammy, gets em every time, snake is also great.

Any Kelly Slater surfing close up on Ultimate Wave Tahiti

The lantern scene from Tangled

The dam breaking in Open Season and the raid on the convenience store

Some would disagree but the lightbike sequence from Tron looks pretty awesome to me

Often overlooked, but Yogi Bear flying his makeshift plane is so crisp, the Doritos shot is also great

The giant nebula fly through on Hubble 3D

aaaa6344 · 03-21-2012, 10:15 PM

the fight and flight scenes in avatar, and the flying glow in the dark flower whatever part

imax intro is excellent, and it's also impressive to see deep sea 3d switch back and forth from 2d to 3d to see exactly how much you are missing when flat...no instant way to do this but on my sony player when i fast forward it goes into 2d, but when u go to regular speed it pops back into 3d and it just shows how much separation there is. on titles with weaker depth there isn't as much of a difference though.

the dam scene in open season is good and the lantern scene in tangled is a showstopper

also yogi bear is the only movie which made me blink (multiple times) due to stuff coming at you...which definitely counts for something lol

i also usually demo the game super stardust hd, and sometimes gran turismo 5

Pfreddy · 03-21-2012, 10:43 PM

There's some in here I need to revisit! I have Open Season and will now have to check out the damn bursting scene again as a demo possibility. Tangled is great all the way thru! I need to figure out what would be good as an isolated sequence.

I usually look for scenes that start on a chapter number and that have good depth and pop out! It makes them easier to cue up!

Forgot about 3D games but Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, (not Apocalypse version) is a $9 download on the PS3 and is STUNNING in 3D! Its very easy to play too (I'm not as good as my 14 year old with the controls!).

Gamers who like good popouts HAVE to get Child of Eden for PS3! It is the 'Sammy' of the gaming world. Constant 'poke your eye out' popouts, amazing depth and beautiful graphics that aren't downgraded in quality in 3D. It is like having a visual orgasim in your lounge room!

Hell yeah! If you compare the 2D to the 3D it's day and night. Just the way your mind interprets it versus what you actually see when it's in 3D... wow.

Right on the money there. I agree, those shots are great demos. Too bad every cgi movie doesn't strive for the Open Season 3D standard, or at least attempt something like Sammy 3D.

Hope to get Sammy in the future. The lantern scene in Tangled is definitely a good one along with the nebula in Hubble. Tron is decent enough. Watched Yogi but was so bored with the out-right dumbness of the movie, I honestly don't remember much. Haven't seen Open Season yet but ordered it off Amazon just yesterday for a cool $20.99 so looking forward to that coming in soon.

The attack on the Umbrella HQ in the beginning in Resident Evil Afterlife. Another scene is the one where Alice lands the plane on the building roof. This scene in particular shows how immersive 3D can be when combined with excellant audio, a fast paced edge of your seat moment and impressive 3D.

The opening of Final Destination 5(before they head out) all the way to the end of the bridge collapse. The opening where they are simply talking shows how real everything feels. The shot where the lead is looking out of the bus through the window is amazing. I actually felt like I was sitting there! For pop out I use the final explosion in the movie followed by the credits. Pop out doesn't get any better than this.

I also use the new men in black trailer. The shot where Will Smith jumps off the building and the camera switches to first person view is spectacular! It feels like you are actually falling!

I'm using an Optoma HD67 with a 140inch screen and Nvidia 3D Vision. I sit around seven feet away.

PJ4814 · 03-22-2012, 07:19 AM

On a 46 inch Sony LED screen, I like the Sony 3D demo disk, esp the scenes of canoeing down the river in the Grand Canyon - very life like

PJ4814 · 03-22-2012, 07:22 AM

In the movie theatre with 3D, I like the credits which you seem to be able to touch. Also when someone on the screen throws a rock or a spear at you, and you have to duck - amazing - so life like.

May I ask where you found a copy of The Men In Black trailer? I really liked that fall scene too! It's the best converted 3D I've ever seen.

I may need to pop in tangled again. I don't remember it being the showstopper people say it is. I hope my eyes aren't screwed up lol

BleedOrange11 · 03-22-2012, 03:15 PM

Just for reference, the following scenes have won the 3D Moment of the Year Award at the 3D Society's Creative Art Awards:

2010 - Avatar "Jake Sully, First Flight"
2011 - Tanlged "Lanterns"
2012 - Hugo "Opening Scene"

Some of my favorite moments:
- Fighting the executioner majini in the prison showers in Resident Evil: Afterlife as well as the opening rain sequence, the descent into Umbrella's HQ, the Alaskan plane hangar, Wesker throwing his sunglasses, and more
- Nearly the entire movie Hugo - The opening scene, the clock gears, the library, the train station, the converted Melies' footage, and more
- Most 1.78:1 scenes in TRON: Legacy - Meeting the first recognizer, disc wars, the light cycle battle, riding to the portal, and the airplane battle
- Every time a vampire dies in Fright Night and the floating cross, throwing the bucket through a door, sneaking around the corner in the vamp's house, the long hallway shot of the vamp artifact collection
- The wingsuit sequence in Transformers: Dark of the Moon

I usually demo SBS 3D clips that I have saved to my PS3's hardrive because they're shorter and more convenient than swapping out a bunch of blu-rays when I want to show my friends some cool 3D. This video below is my favorite clip to use. If you call yourself a pop-out enthusiast, you must see it. I also like to use the Madagascar 3 trailer and a short clip from Journey to the Center of the Earth when everyone falls down the abyss and discovers the bioluminescent birds.

(Warning: There's one big window violation, but the video still worth seeing for the effects.)
