Spider-Man reboot to feature Amazing 3D

James Cameron’s Avatar may have brought about this 3D craze that sweeping throughout Hollywood, but Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man is looking to surpass it. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will be the first to be shot with the new 3ality Digital’s TS-5 wireless and handheld beam-splitter mirror rig. The camera’s weightlessness and wireless capabilities allow for better shots. “We tested virtually every product on the market and chose 3ality Digital because we were impressed by the compact size of the TS-5,” Spider-Man director of photography John Schwartzman said.

“You don’t get the unwanted shadowing effects during shots that sometimes appear using other 3D rigs, and the lens changes only take a few minutes. “We wanted a rig that would not only deliver the best quality and performance but also one that wouldn’t delay the production, so we have all the benefits of a 3D picture and we’re shooting to a 2D schedule,” he continued.

The Amazing Spider-Man is set to open in July of 2012.
