[Reply: NATO] Sony and the Un-free glasses

New Articles with NATO’s and Sony’s responses

Movie Theaters Upset, Won’t Approve Sony’s New 3D Glasses Policy | FirstShowing.net

Two articles and the priceless comments from the anti-3D-fanz:

Sony to Stop Paying for 3D Glasses in May 2012 (Exclusive) – The Hollywood Reporter

Trouble in the 3D World? Sony to Stop Paying for Free RealD 3D Glasses | FirstShowing.net

Lot of steam in those articles. A lot of money in play.

But let’s get this straight: The exhibitors have a problem with some people not enjoying some 3D. Which system uses the cheapest glasses and the worst screen possible? Which system is trying to keep those glasses free instead of figuring a truly enviromental solution? Only RealD. The active system, XpanD and the other non-polarizing system, Dolby, use a much better pair of lenses. 

There is a lot learn in this story.

SmartJog Sends Deluxe DCPs to EU

SmartJog was already used by Deluxe for transfers and storage of materials between their 11 offices around the world; Rome, Barcelona, Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, and London are mentioned in the press release. SmartJog is also used by post-production facilities world-wide, many who would doubtless send product to Deluxe for final packaging and distribution.

Back in March, Sperling Reich at Celluloid Junkie asked, “Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that SmartJog has been on a roll lately when it comes to partnerships?” He pointed out then that SmartJog had recently nailed down deals with Fox, XDC and Ymagis.

Rack up another one for SmartJog and for Sperling. We’ll go on a limb here: Will Deluxe interest SmartJog in the MediaRecall technology that they bought this spring?
