What do you get when you mix
more3D, Adobe, Maxon, fmx/09 and Digital Production Magazine together?

Well, you get invaZion ‘09 The 3-D
Stereo Short film Challenge.

What is invaZion ‘09?

invaZion ‘09 is the world’s first contest for stereoscopic shortfilms! And you can be part of it.

Due to the help of computers in animation, creating 3-D stereo movies became much easier and more affordable than ever. In fact, adding depth to screens is by far the greatest leap in cinematopgraphy since stereo audio and color. More than that, it´s the next logical step. That´s what we believe in. That`s what
the future is all about.

Creating 3-D stereo movies means much more than “only” rendering a second camera

view: used wisely, it can provide a complete new way of directing
movies, like adding dramaturgy, modifying perceived size or volume and even the emotional proximity to the audience through depth. It also means thinking of the newly gained Z-space allready during the planning and production phase of your project.  

more3D and its industry partners now call for the invaZion challenge as a worldwide shortfilm competition, giving you the final reason to get ready for 3-D stereo, measuring yourself with artists all over the globe. The winners will be announced in May, 2009.
