ExploreWorldTV’s Explore Technology would like to present the world’s first 3D Film & Entertainment Technology Festival (3DX) that took place in Singapore from November 19th until the 23rd in 2008.
The 3D Film & Entertainment Technology Festival (3DX) was hosted by the Media Development Authority of Singapore (MDA) with support from the Singapore Tourism Board and the Singapore Economic Development Board. The Singapore Government has also been a strong advocate for 3D and Dr. Lee Boon Yang, the Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts, was at the festival and addressed the attendees while Kenneth Tan, the COO of the Media Development Authority, outlined Singapore’s plans for 3D, which you can hear about in the video above.
Some of the top luminaries from around the world attended the 3DX Festival including Jeffrey Katzenberg CEO of DreamWorks Animation; Mark Zoradi, president of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Group; Jon Landau, James Cameron’s producer on his new 3 D movie, Avatar; and other directors who are all involved in 3D projects: Robert Zemeckis, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Geroge Lucas, and Peter Jackson.
Mr. Katzenberg said, “This is not your father’s 3D” and went on to say that in five to seven years all films will be made in 3D.
