The Nightmare Before Christmas, in 3D

astonishingly good.

looks amazing......
it had none of the ghosting effects that every other 3-d thing i've ever seen, always had.


the 3-D conversion process for THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS remains in a category all its own. The film marks the first time a once-analog 2-D film has been turned into a wholly digital 3-D film.

and this:

In theory, all 3-D films work by projecting a double image—one for the right eye and another for the left, which creates the rich sensation of real-life depth. Traditionally, this was achieved by using two projectors. Disney Digital 3-D™, however, takes it to another level by using just one projector, which rapidly shifts between images for the left eye and the right eye, so quickly (144 times per second) that the brain is not even aware of it. Using polarized light, the images are crisper and clearer than any 3-D process in history.


all i can tell you is, it works.
go see it.
 
Starting with a crew of 20 and eventually ramping up to 80, it took 19 very intense weeks of work for ILM to complete the transformation of NIGHTMARE. During this process, automatic tools were used to replicate the original film’s camera motions, sets were turned into digital models and a crew of animators was recruited to hand-animate the CG characters on a frame-by-frame basis, so their digital doubles matched the original camera photography. Once the geometry was forged for the sets and characters, special-effects artists used the computer to map the original film image directly onto the CG-animated geometry. Then the virtual camera, shifted slightly to the right, recorded a new camera angle for the right eye.

Ultimately, audiences will unwittingly be seeing the original NIGHTMARE with their left eyes while seeing the digital re-creation with their right eyes, allowing for the three-dimensional effect.
