Martin Scorsese Talks about 3D Filmmaking - '3D is liberating. Every shot is rethinking cinema'

Martin Scorsese is currently in the process of shooting his first 3D feature film Hugo Cabret, and in a recent interview with The Guardian, he discusses his 3D shooting experience saying,

“Every shot is rethinking cinema,” he enthuses, “rethinking narrative – how to tell a story with a picture. Now, I’m not saying we have to keep throwing javelins at the camera, I’m not saying we use it as a gimmick, but it’s liberating. It’s literally a Rubik’s Cube every time you go out to design a shot, and work out a camera move, or a crane move. But it has a beauty to it also. People look like… like moving statues. They move like sculpture, as if sculpture is moving in a way. Like dancers…” He is clearly entranced by challenges and themes of Hugo Cabret, and says that the new technology with which he’s working puts him in mind of Picasso and Braque and how inspired they were by the early cinema of Méliès and the Lumière brothers.

It will be very interesting to see a Scorsese 3D film. I can't wait to see how this turns out. I wonder how many more films he will end up directing in 3D after this.
