Question of the week: Will 3D television be a hit? | Media | The Guardian

www.guardian.co.uk/...3d-television - Preview

BSkyB is to launch Europe's first 3DTV channel next year, which will require viewers to buy a new 3D-ready set and special glasses. Is it a gimmick or will 3DTV take viewers by storm?

- It gives stunning pictures, and when you look at 3D in a cinema it's a really good experience. When you look at it on a domestic screen it looks good but you've got to wear the glasses - it's not necessarily a done deal that it will be the next big thing.
- The issue is how 3D will perform in the shops - will the public pick up on it? I just don't know.
- Peter Bazalgette, media consultant
- Sky's business has been very successfully built up with a number of technological additions to their package, Sky+, then HDTV and now 3DTV. What this enabled them to do is to continue to market Sky subscriptions with a fresh angle.
- It's an extraordinarily effective marketing machine and that machine has to be supplied with good stories. This is the third story to tell after Sky and HDTV. I can see why they're doing it. It may prove to be very effective - it depends on the quality of the picture, which I haven't seen. If it means they are going to issue fashionable dark glasses with each subscriber package, I'm their man.
- Gerry O'Sullivan, director of strategic product development, BSkyB
- Some people were sceptical about HDTV when we launched it, but we now have 1.3 million customers and 33 channels. In the 3DTV trials, people forgot they were wearing the glasses within a couple of minutes.
- Toby Syfret, analyst, Enders Analysis
- If you're in front of a large screen and 3D is bringing things out of the set, you lose sight and the image disappears, and that's not a particularly satisfying sensation. It slightly destroys the sense of it being a real object in space.
- From a perceptual point of view you may have a fight between stuff popping out of the screen and the edge of the screen when it leaves the field. The danger is you will be more aware of the artificiality of the image and that may mean the real powerhouse will remain HDTV.
- You can get excited the first time, but it's really about when it becomes like routine viewing - how big a screen do you need for it to work best? How many people are going to have this? It's going to have very strong appeal at the top end. It could form a very strong niche appeal over the next two or three years.
- Huw Crwys Williams, category director, consumer electronics, DSGi-owner or Currys, PC World and Dixons<
- LED is currently the exciting TV development from the viewer's point of view. There is currently very little content or programming for 3D TV, but as this becomes available we are very excited about the future potential of this new viewing phenomenon.

Sky prévoir de lancer une chaîne en 3D en 2010

www.01net.com/...noncee-pour-2010-en-angleterre - Preview

Le bouquet satellite britannique contrôlé par Rupert Murdoch annonce, pour l'année prochaine, une offre de programmes en 3D intégrant des films, des spectacles et du sport.
Elle pourrait se concrétiser davantage en Angleterre avec le lancement par Sky TV d'une chaîne entièrement diffusée en 3D. Celle-ci pourrait voir le jour dès l'année prochaine. Les équipes du bouquet satellite ont effectué plusieurs démonstrations à partir de programmes filmés à la source en 3D, notamment des matchs de boxe et de rugby, rapporte la BBC.

- Les équipes de Sky ont aussi réalisé plusieurs enregistrements d'événements en 3D, parmi lesquels un sprint (de 150 mètres, une distance inédite) du champion olympique jamaïcain Ussain Bolt, à Manchester, une représentation du Lac des cygnes par l'English National Ballet et un match-test de rugby opposant l'Angleterre et la Nouvelle-Zélande.
- Pour les téléspectateurs, le passage à la 3D ne se fera pas sans racheter un téléviseur spécial, ce qui risque de cantonner la technologie à quelques « happy few », du moins dans un premier temps. Les premiers écrans 3D (fonctionnant avec des lunettes polarisées) pourraient arriver sur le marché dès l'année prochaine.
- En revanche, la réception des programmes en 3D devrait se faire avec box Sky+HD, qui équipent déjà les clients de l'opérateur audiovisuel.
- En France, Orange a effectué quelques démonstrations de diffusion en 3D, mais aucune annonce sur une éventuelle commercialisation d'un service n'a été faite.

REPORT ON WORLDWIDE TELEVISION AND FEATURE FILM PRODUCTION | Screen Actors Guild

www.sag.org/...on-and-feature-film-production - Preview

In October 2005, the Guild’s national board allocated $10,000 to the CEIDR to do a report on worldwide television and feature film production.
Los Angeles, CA (July 31, 2006)—A continuing study by the Center For Entertainment Industry Data and Research (CEIDR) shows that the shift in production of theatrical motion pictures from the U.S. continues to grow as countries all over the world introduced incentives—especially in the higher budget ranges.
48 more annotations...
- At the same time, there was a modest increase in California-based production, particularly in television, which coincides with the introduction of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.
- Stephen Katz, co-founder of CEIDR
- From 1998 to 2005, feature film production in Canada grew from $430 million to $1.2 billion (179%).
- For the same period, production in the U.K. and Ireland increased from $486 million to $809 million (66%)
- production in Australia and New Zealand rose from $113 million to $717 million (531%)
- production in Eastern Europe jumped from $30 million to $308 million (927%).
- Worldwide, production dollars spent on Theatrical Releases expanded from $5,557 million in 1998 to $7,205 million in 2005 (30%).
- Despite the 30% growth in overall production, the dollar volume of Theatrical Release production in the U.S. declined from $3,927 million in 1998 to $3,378 million in 2005 (-14%).
- The dollar volume of Theatrical Releases filmed outside the U.S. more than doubled growing from $1,630 million in 1998 to $3,828 million in 2005 (135%).
- Subsequently, the U.S. market share of production dollars of Theatrical Releases plummeted from 71% in 1998 to 47% in 2005.
- Correspondingly, the percentage of Theatrical Releases filmed elsewhere in the world grew from 29% to 53%.
- Overall production in California rose slightly from $1,948 in 1998 to $2,068 in 2005 (6%).
- Despite the increase in the dollar volume of Theatrical production in California, the actual number of productions declined during this period from 62 to 46 (-26%).
- In the greater than $10 million less than $50 million range (>10..<50) production in California fell from $765 million to $728 million (-5%) while the rest of the U.S. grew from $445 million to $655 million (47%).
- The number of broadcast and cable network made-for-television-movies and miniseries that filmed worldwide grew from 76 in 1976 to a peak of 328 in 1996 (332%) then declined to 198 in 2005 (-40%).
- Production of made-for-television-movies in the U.S. collapsed from a high of 182 in 1995 to 49 in 2003 (-73%) then bounced back to 84 in 2005 (71%).
- Production in Canada rose from 7 in 1984 to a peak of 132 in 2000 (1786%) then fell to 76 in 2005 (-42%).
- Interestingly, although, Canada became the venue of choice for the majority of this type of production in North America commencing in 1998, the U.S. regained the relative edge following the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, which provides considerable benefit to producers of this type of product.
- Scripted prime time one-hour and half-hour broadcast and cable television programs that aired in the U.S. grew from 123 in 2000 to 152 in 2005 (24%). From 2000 to 2005 reality programs jumped from 24 to 174 (625%).
- Filming of scripted television in the U.S. grew from 93 in 2000 to 115 in 2005 (24%).
- The number of scripted programs that filmed in Canada fell from 26 in 2000 to 20 in 2005 (-23%).
- Again, the relative share of shows produced in the U.S. versus Canada increased following the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.

- Again, the relative share of shows produced in the U.S. versus Canada increased following the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.
- Production worldwide of Theatrical Releases with budgets equal to or greater than $50 million (>=$50) expanded from $3,287 million in 1998 to $4,363 million in 2005 (33%).
- During the same period, production in the U.S. within this category fell from $2,499 million to $1,867 million (-25%), while the dollar volume of production the rest of the world for this segment rocketed from $788 million to 2,496 million (217%).
- The U.S. market share of Theatrical Releases with budgets equal to or greater than $50 million fell from 76% in 1998 to 43% in 2005.
- Concurrently, the percentage of Theatrical Releases filmed elsewhere in the world more than doubled from 24% to 57%.

Reality shows already were TV's low-budget alternative. Producing one on a broadcast network can cost about $950,000 per episode, versus $1.7 million for a scripted drama, largely because reality shows don't use expensive actors and writers.

- There are more reality TV shows, and less elegant ones at that.
- "There's just less money around," said Michael Hirschorn, co-executive producer of the Paris Hilton show
- "The economy's a mess, so all of us have to work more efficiently. ... We have a reality show that is 40 percent cheaper than this show that just got green-lit."
- MTV, which plans to air the new Hilton show this summer, is filling more air time with new reality series rather than reruns. Even so, its programming costs are down 17 percent per half hour, said Tony DiSanto, head of programming at the Viacom Inc.-owned network.
- One new show debuting next week on MTV, "College Life," even cut out the director and camera operators by distributing $500 handheld video cameras to freshman and sophomore students in Madison, Wis.
- At broadcast networks like ABC, NBC, CBS and The CW, 32 new reality shows have been ordered, are in production or are being developed, according to David Lyle, the president of Fox Reality Channel, who keeps a running count. At the same time last year that number was 21.
- At cable networks, there are 160 new shows in this state, compared with 109 last year.
- CBS Corp., which has ordered versions 19 and 20 of "Survivor," is developing projects based on arranged marriages, neighbors who compete against each other and an obstacle course trivia game.
