3D Home Entertainment - Will we soon see 3D Home Entertainment hologram? OK Call us Mad!

3D is a fantastic tool to get it right and you expect all the major brands in the world have already begun filming 3D TV commercials and films such as car ads, for example, which seems justified.

But we are ashamed of the major film studios, that a film that is not right to make in 3D in a 3D movie, is for more money to earn at the box office would. The glasses are inconvenient at best, as they steam for the projection and only damage the movie experience, even though the technology is used with the new 3DS Nintento very interesting for us is not a thorn in. Toy Story 3 and The Green Hornet are only two films among the masses shamelessly use these bats, except as a spectator you to you take a lot of LSD, which requires, therefore, that you wear glasses at all, but we should not know that during Films like all films of Robert Zemeckis and Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton, which are fully justified, I would add that modern Pablo Picasso for his visionary genius. Ask yourself the question, why not start the project in 3D? James Cameron was too impatient with Avatar?

Getting back to the future, we wonder how long it will take hologram projections Minority Report style reality will be affordable for everyone and have to this technology. Organizations, development or implementation of this technology will undoubtedly multi-millionaires overnight, but probably this technology is already available, but all the big companies are waiting for the market before 3D will use 3D holographic introduced.

How about this theory? If you use a minimum of four cameras to find the object from four different angles, then all four corners of the project with four projectors in the middle of the song shoot is not a possibility? Of course they have projectors to one type of screen, but with advances in technology it is possible that the use of laser, the particles of the air and with the right lighting conditions of the projection can the naked human eye.

Make no mistake, we are sure it is much more complicated than that achieved, for example, on all four corners smoothly, algorithms, and countless amounts of research, but imagine that the film and entertainment industry at home is no longer in the corner of the room or to a wall mounted on a flat screen TV, disadvantages arising from all angles in the middle of the room, or wherever you want it visible. It can be life-size are displayed without quality loss, and you can walk around the 3D image so that all the guys out there can be Angelina Jolie and all the girls look out there can see how great Brad Pitt and life can in every angle Finally, the the sinking of Madame Tussauds is ... sorry. Imagine the educational value of technology as demonstrated in Iron Man

Do not worry, we're sure you're right, and the idea that RKD films have lost their minds and have no idea, as is practically possible. We do not think 3D has never been a revolution because it goes back to 1915, instead of all available technologies, digital 3D hologram Home Entertainment is just around the corner and this will really blow.

How are 3D animations in Hollywood films and cartoons used

At this point it would take a safe bet that at the age of 4-85 each to see a 3D movie of some kind. Yes, the animation made big changes since the time of the original Disney and Warner Brothers cartoons. With the advent of computers and technological progress in the last 10 years, the days of drawing cartoons on a board stories.

In Hollywood today, were some of the most profitable films of the 3D animation films. The last of them in the box office has often presented the film "Avatar." The film quickly became the staple food than any other 3D films are evaluated. The use of 3D animation in this film allows the effects of filmmakers, many of us could see that up in our minds now.

have assumed there were many other 3D films, which were made public in a very wide. It's Toy Story I and II, The Adventures of Nemo, Shark Tale, and the film of the popular superheroes, The Incredible. Each and every one of these films has also at the box office and when released on DVD.

For the 3D animation quite incredible feat in itself. It took almost 3 years avatar on the screen at your local cinema to get. The number of computer animators and cartoonists enough to wage costs in the neighbourhood of 10 million €. The price paid for the entire production process from beginning to end was prepared approximately $ 500,000,000. No wonder the film is so good.

The transition to the 3D animation is something that is not soon ended, as the films are welcome from young people than adults. This gives Hollywood a huge audience draw at the box office, and therefore produces the really big money. To add to the draw for the film producers and more popular stars in the vocal tracks should be provided for the characters.

With this new era of 3D animation has many uses other than the box office. This form of animation is left in an advertisement for a memorable and impressive than the consumers can not use his head. In the development and architecture, it is used to planning a virtual person will literally can do.

The new technology of 3D animation was, as seen with the edge of everything new and cutting, made popular in Hollywood and now we will start a completely different way in our daily lives.

Comedy Films in Hollywood

Comedy-movies have a long history in Hollywood. Already in 1900 a film was shown, in which people pursue the laugh of a man sneezing. Aptly as a record of jockeys, the film is credited at the beginning of a trend that strengthened and is now firmly established. It was the era of silent films that most classic comedy film made​​. As an actor, the audience could make laugh with help of dialogues with their acts funny, it quickly caught the imagination of people and more comedies were made ​​before 1930.

Charlie Chaplin is said to provide the best comedian to date because of its astonishing power, the people with his funny way of movies that are silent laugh. Most Hollywood comedies top Charlie Chaplin films no doubt. With the transition from silent to sound cinema and dialogues, the district has ruled comedy comedies, and many have been made ​​above that are still classics. The comedy is a genre that is a formula for success at the box office, that people want movies that burden is to see all the burdens of life.

Feel that humour is something that is necessary to have mass appeal, tried many of the leading players who had a serious image their hands on comedy and were strongly appreciated by the public very much. Hollywood is in the sense blessed that it has always been of great comedians such as Dudley Moore, Tom Hanks, Eddie Murphy and the late Jim Carey.

The proposal is a comedy by Anne Fletcher starring Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, Mary Steenburgen and directed. In the genre of comedy and romance, comedy tells the story of a young man's proposal, which is forced by his boss to marry in order to avoid deportation to Canada.

The Hollywood thriller

The kind of thriller Hollywood has always proved popular with moviegoers public. The stimulus for this type of character and story, the detectives actually began in radio with a string of successful radio detective series. In the early 20th Century, when the film industry began to grow began, the people at the radio off and fill the theater, movies, detective, the production of Hollywood was observed.

Detective films do not always portray her secret to the fun that was involved. In fact, silent films, played a major role in crime novels that were published in the 1920s. However, the addition of sound greatly improved the perception of viewers around the classic dialogue and sound effects.

Of all the films made by Hollywood detective Sherlock Holmes, perhaps the most popular. There were over 200 films and television shows based on the character.

Edger Allen Poe is generally considered the first detective novel fiction characters introduced in 1841 considered. The name was C. Auguste Dupin Detective. The classic detective Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created has gained great fame has become by far the most famous fictional detective in the history of cinema. So famous that the character was played by other actors than any other character in film history. The actor plays the most will be recognized as Holmes with Basil Rathbone Nigel Bruce as his loyal assistant Dr. Watson. This team played together from 1939 to 1946. Some other notable players in the role included Robert Rundle, and Reginald Owen.

Another cop movie very popular at that time was Charlie Chan. There were made 46 films Charlie Chan 1929-1946, and curious, the Chinese detective was never played by a Chinese actor. The public for the theater played as a minor role of EL-Park in the 1929 film behind the curtain, was the popularity of the characters to 1931 door Charlie Chan at Warner Oland as the detective. Oland has the role of Chan for fifteen more films continued until his death. Sidney Tolar took over the role for a further eleven films from 20th Century Fox in 1942, produced when he Tolar bought the rights to the screen and began a new series of Charlie Chan films from Monogram Pictures.

Starring Roland Winters was continued in the role after the death of the tolar and the show six films. Unfortunately, the quality of the films has dramatically downhill after purchase Tolar rights of the screen.

Like the character himself, the detective Charlie Chan worked for the Honolulu Police Department, was married and had fourteen children, often with reference to the oldest "Number One Son." At a time when Asians were mostly as a money launderer, boys home, or just bad, Chan is a positive example for Asians has seen. Other popular crime series of Mr. Moto, The Thin Man series (with Sherlock Holmes, my favorite) and Bulldog Drummond.

Just as she in the early 20th Century, the Hollywood thrillers were still appear on the big screen on a regular basis, and is due to continue on their success to the humble beginnings. It's the thrill of secrecy continues to be the public coming back for more.

The archetypal hero in Hollywood films

A young orphan is raised by his foster parents. One day, a tragic incident that had killed the couple Sun care of him. to fight the young man in mourning on a trip the evil committed. He was then trained by a teacher who taught him the spiritual values. The young man was ready to discover the evil overlord, just that his opponent is nothing but his own biological father was in the face. Sound familiar? Sure.

Research Models in Hollywood movies are not grievous. How myths and folk tales, movies often have the same basic scenario several times. The base model of the history of the character, personality and behaviour has psychological explanations.

Carl Gustav Jung (1875 - 1961) extended the concept of psychological archetypes. Archetype is an original model of a person, such as ideal or prototype, on the other are copied, patterned or emulated. Served as an archetype symbol that everyone can recognize. Some archetypes often appeared in stories, like the archetypal child, the hero of the Great Mother, the wise man and women, the Trickster, the Devil, The Scarecrow and mentor. Archetype as a model of the person's personality or behaviour is easy to find in Hollywood films. In the example, the hero archetype.

The character has explained at the beginning of this article is Luke Skywalker, who appeared in Star Wars trilogy, and he owned properties, as archetypal heroes can be identified.

In his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell (1904 - 1987) a plot archetype in ancient myths, which told the same story about the hero as the main recurring theme has been identified. These characters usually follow models:

- Born under unusual circumstances. The hero is often born into royalty-free, or in times of danger.

- In a point in the life of the hero, he left his family and the earth and life with others.

- The hero is an event that results in an adventure or quest involved. The event is often traumatic.

- The hero has run a special weapon only he can.

- The hero of a supernatural aid found on his adventure.

- The hero must prove that he repeatedly adventure or quest.

- The hero experiences atonement with the father.

- If the hero dies, he is rewarded spiritually.

We want to identify ourselves as the hero character in a movie, you will find an example of this archetype in Hollywood films are relatively simple. Of course, the character is not always all the criteria above are classified as an archetypal hero mentioned. A lot of examples of the archetypal hero, of course, lie, especially superhero movies. Superhero movies are currently flooding the screen, as a symbol of the hopes and ideals of the return to society. A superhero is a figure to see do good things, and the audience loves them always.

Examples of the archetypal hero in the movies are super heroes Superman, Spider-Man, Batman and Iron Man in other films, as Aragorn (LOTR), Indiana Jones, John Connor (Terminator), and Harry Potter. These characters were like a true hero character was endured by their devotion to the pain and grief for the good of the many proven and of itself.

Although the archetypal hero is not limited to action films and heroes, most of the samples that you can find most of both sexes. Perhaps because it is easier to achieve as a hero in a situation that requires a lot of action and dynamics.

Archetype is a part of our collective consciousness. Through the experience of history as the archetypal hero, we see the struggle against evil and bring peace to society. Although recurring patterns can make bored the audience, the figure of the hero still plays an important role. They forge positive values ​​in the public and remind them that good things still worth fighting for. Maybe not killing by killing dragons or evil overlord, but there are many ways to be a hero. And we can all be one.

Hollywood films and American identity

"Identity" is a very vague term with different meanings. What is identity? It refers to cultural values ​​or perspectives of a more strongly associated with and as an Asian identity "(SCP)," the distinctive character or the personality of a people "(Art. Connected Organization)," He understands qualities that a person from another "(Encarta Encyclopaedia)," the distinctive character or the personality of an individual "(Encyclopaedia Britannica). The definition is very concise" identity "in question is carried out," Who am I? "There on the specific characteristics and peculiarities that it other place. It represents the true self of the individual and the behaviours and desires by what one self. " is formed, like most features of human identity through a very long and deep.

Personal continuity and being single are the most important factors of identity formation. It is obvious that people who, besides her personal identity, especially in families and schools at a very young age made to their social identity, belonging, based on which group they, membership purchase family, ethnic, religious or professional groups. This group identities are for people themselves in the eyes of the other two and to define themselves.

Erik Erikson was considerable discussion of "identity", is his theory of "stages" of development, believes that identity formation extends from birth to adulthood. He explained that identity formation begins in childhood and goes through adolescence and has also shown gains in adolescence. Having had the physical growth, sexual maturation and numerous professional activities, adults will begin to integrate their existing skills and attributes acquired by including childhood, in a fixed identity, and perhaps permanently. But established bases of identity in childhood and adolescence. So we can say that the most important period of identity construction childhood.

The obstruction caused to be predictable by the formation of identity by the identity crisis many reasons and circumstances. According to Erikson, the crisis caused by progress in the earlier stages of development, focus will be resolved at the fundamental questions of life such as trust, autonomy, and patterns. "I Marcia shows four ways in which adults face the challenge of identity-building. Those who manage to solve the crisis of identity and the past as" achieved identity. "Others who make commitments to try, without questioning or examination of alternatives are considered" excluded identity, "those who" fly Identity-Release "to discuss decisions the future make, are not obliged to adopt in a position to all the commitments good heart in the quarry, or other values. On the contrary, the "moratorium" group in trouble and a crisis in progress, as they are trying to "find themselves." (Gale Encyclopaedia of Psychology)

No doubt the companies are looking for "identity-directed" generations. Thus, the younger generation, or even adults are not with their "I" or society for knowledge and moral values ​​when they are mature enough to work and work for their company to fight. To the generations to carry the identity level, companies regulated plans to educate and treat children must have a very young age, so that these moral values ​​are learned and reinforced by age. cultural resources can better help and educate children. This process of identity formation has always been dominated for years by Hollywood.

Hollywood's most influential media in America and in other countries, had a major role in shaping the identity of Americans from childhood. American values ​​and morality are in progress in different ways in Hollywood movies, religious, national, political, moral and economic values. It always has a great influence on religious beliefs, church or celebrate religious holidays like Christmas and national values, U.S., has always stressed on. Freedom, equality, and love of nation, freedom of expression, human rights always shown in movies, to involve meanings and values.

The American cinema has created the "rating system" in Hollywood, where he films under his control, and he was present, was never in the interest of society. Note was as a way to have limits to power saw. Hollywood films were found when cases of sexual violence, drug abuse and crime. They have limited the sexual openness in society, they have renounced violence and drug abuse presented to the general public, especially children, who developed the scoring system in the United States in 1930 by the Motion Picture Association of America. Scoring system has been classified taking into account the age limits. American films in five categories were divided as follows: G General Audiences category, ie, all ages are welcome and certainly is pure immorality, ie, PG that may be some articles are not very suitable for children PG-13 means that some documents may be inappropriate for children is under 13, R, children must be accompanied by parent or adult guardian under 17 years and the last NC-17, less than 17 years is permitted.

Another approach is to teach moral values ​​morality in movies to convey, national and religious connotations, the term and shows the way of life, the life, desirable for the public and government. Very good examples of these movies that are legal before and after the Second World War "It's a Wonderful Life" and "you can not use you," directed by Frank Capra in 1946 and made it in 1938. The two films were great messenger of American identity.

In "It's a Wonderful Life" can see, we "George Bailey shall have many problems that he is the cessation of all thought - Since it's Christmas and the angels discuss George we see his life in flashbacks that George will be out soon end jump. bridge, he saves her guardian angel, Clarence. Clarence then shows George what his town would would not have it looked for all his good deeds over the years. "The emphasis on Christmas, friendship, mutual assistance, the quality of politicians and private organizations are topics that a lot of stress and intonation have to shoot.

The same topics are also available in "You can not take it with you in other ways. Portrait of a love affair between a rich and poor young girl shows the importance of ethics in life, "Alice Sycamore, the family of her fiance, Tony Kirby, to introduce their own family, the are Kirby rich, stuffy family size. Smugness, while years is Sycamore a collection of crazy good heart. come when the two families together, lifestyle and philosophy head-on collision on the poor. The plan financial people is static, and easy to change it is to feel very short. happy and support each other and not feel alone. The essential feature of both is that there is no sex in these two films.

To conclude the discussion, it is important to highlight the influence of Hollywood in all aspects of the Americans. But it looks real goal, the formation of identity, the most influential among children and young people is helping, you know the values ​​of their society and even their government's policies and plans

A Brief History of Hollywood

In the 1880s the American scene by 'Vaudeville shows that the people were in North America have been dominated. As the kind of primitive types, these shows differed from burlesque. As entrepreneurs started experimenting with their movie making skills, these shows have lost their glory. Here is the movie "The Great Train Robbery" remarkable.

In 1910, the Director DWGriffith with his company, which began filming in downtown Los Angeles. In search of a better place, they found a village that was miles to the north - "Hollywood". The first movie shot by Griffith in Hollywood was "In Old California, a melodrama of California. Thorough research identified a number of points at the beginning of the Hollywood film opened. But it was Griffiths' Birth Of A Nation", which the pioneer of a never-ending journey of American cinema was whistled.

Gradually with the growth of Hollywood industry, films were exhibited in the Nicholodeon. The ambitious side of production proved to be the heads of movie studios to control. They helped the internationalization of the films to America-centric provincialism reduced. At the height of his popularity, the industry produces about 400 films a year, with an audience of 90 million Americans per week.

U.S. studios, however, presents major difficulties when their sound productions were rejected in various foreign markets. In addition, the synchronization technique was too primitive. Around the 1930s, parallel language versions of films were produced to provide billing solution for this problem. With the rapid progress of the synchronization, synchronization was also realistic.

During the golden age of Hollywood (1920-1950), the film industry was at the height of his success. Membership in the formula of slapstick comedy Western music contributed cartoons. The same creative team worked on films made by the same studio. The most renowned studios were Warner Bros., MGM, RKO, etc. Each studio has its own special properties, property, not today. Each film is unique in its own taste, because the filmmakers were all artists and creators. The publication of classics that enriched the industry have "Wuthering Heights", "Casablanca" and other timeless masterpieces "with the Wind, Gone" was. In the late 1940s, the separation of the production of films of their exposure and the development of television on the decline of the studio system has performed.

The post-classical cinema gave birth to the directors of a new school of thought. They introduced new filming techniques and strategies developed and those who govern. "JAWS" movies like "The Godfather," "Psycho" and other modern blockbuster "probably have taken a new dimension in Hollywood. With independent films, concentrated again, a new generation of filmmakers such as films, often innovative, critical, unconventional, and contradictory made. However, significant for its financial success and crossover into popular culture, they became a very significant part of the Hollywood mainstream films.

Over the generations, the directors and their exclusive style and innovations developed intellectually stimulating and thought-provoking creations, what Hollywood film history interesting and surprising.

Movies always have an aura of magic and enchantment in the world of dreams made. Taking a portrait larger than life character, the deep impressions in the minds of moviegoers sensitive, will remain forever. Hundreds of films are produced annually.

Bollywood & Hollywood Says STOP PIRACY

Piracy has always played a pivotal role in Bollywood as well as Hollywood industry. It causes major damage as the filmmakers expect their faithful audience to go to the theatres and watch the movie. Since, piracy is becoming a key threat, both Bollywood and Hollywood has taken up the task to fight this nuisance. Bollywood and Hollywood has made a coalition which is among the Motion Picture Association of America and seven Indian companies to tackle counterfeiting in one of the worlds' largest film markets.

In India, Bollywood suffers mostly from camcorder piracy done in theatres. We all know this as "Theatre Print". This term is often used in the Indian Bollywood market. Sources say camcorder piracy contributes to 90 per cent of all pirated DVDs in the Indian market.

Even the internet law is not stringent enough to tackle with piracy over the net. Internet is one place where piracy is spreading like wildfire. Downloading pirated movies, songs, clips etc is happening every second. The Indian film industry has an affluent past of copycat productions and conventionally has had less respect for the sanctity of intellectual property than Hollywood would like. In 2008, for example, Warner Bros. unsuccessfully sued to block the release of an Indian Punjabi film called Hari Puttar - A Comedy of Terrors on the grounds that the name was too close to its Harry Potter series.

The film and TV industry shaped nearly 1.8 million jobs and contributed $6.2 billion to the Indian economy in 2008. In 2008, piracy cost the Indian film industry $959 million and about 571,000 jobs. Bollywood holds a record when it comes to downloading movies. Vishal Bharadwaj's `Kaminey' was downloaded a record number of times (estimated at 350,000 times) in India and abroad.

Piracy, some say is an economic problem as nothing could be done to eradicate this menace. Though, in a strong way it proves to be a major blemish to the filmmakers as it jeopardizes the movie's ability to earn profit and make more and more money. An initiative has been undertaken by the filmmakers and lot of effort has been made to stop piracy. From newspaper print ads to television commercials, the appeal is there to stop piracy. To stop piracy even the filmmakers are coming up with DVDs and VCDs and the recently evolved Blu-ray discs, so that people can buy it and watch at their own ease, anytime anywhere. Movie industries are trying their best to come out with various mediums to distribute their movies on more than just one platform. But, the plea is that the file sharers need to come up with something or someway so that people can watch them on their mobile phones too, without the conversion of files etc. Since, mobile phones are a portable medium to watch movies. People who travel more can have the luxury of watching movies and hearing songs on their mobile phones avoiding piracy.

So, a lot of things are coming up and a valiant effort has been made by the government too, but the question is, will we ever see the end of piracy?
