Avatar special edition takes another dip on iTunes Tuesday, brings exclusive extras

If you’ve made the switch to watching movies delivered via the internet instead of disc, one of the things that you’ll usually give up is interactive special features, but Fox is turning that trend around with its latest repackaging of Avatar . The iTunes Extras Special Edition of the movie goes on sale Tuesday and includes “Green Screen X-Ray” features letting viewers deconstruct the extensive special effects during 17 scenes as they watch, as well as an original screenplay from director James Cameron, his scriptment, and a gallery of 1,700 images

Community’s Joel McHale hosts French publisher’s tradeshow blowout, likely featuring Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, Ghost Recon Future Soldier, new Driver, more. LOS ANGELES–Ubisoft had solid intentions for its 2009 E3 press conference , scoring a couple hours of famed film director James Cameron’s time to promote some of the first 3D footage of the critical bomb-in-waiting Avatar: The Video Game. However, the director’s presence amounted to not much more than a long-winded expatiation on the development process and backstory of Avatar–sans any form of gameplay footage

Caption Contest: 3D is a mind blow, everyone can agree on that

What do b-boys, random celebrities like Mark Sanchez, Andy Samberg and Hillary Duff, and the Black Eyed Peas have to do with 3DTV ? We’re not sure either, but that didn’t stop Samsung from mixing them up during its “worldwide launch event” yesterday in NYC. Check the video (embedded after the break) for the above revelation about 3D from the JIMP troubador himself, but what was going through the heads of our friend Jimmy C and the BEP when this picture was taken

OptiTrack mixes motion capture with a virtual camera for delicious, Avatar-esque results

We knew virtual camera systems are starting gain traction, particularly in the world of cinema and within James Cameron’s little set of toys, but it’s pretty wild to see one in action. NaturalPoint is showing off its OptiTrack motion capture system at GDC, a budget-friendly multi-camera setup (if $6k is your idea of budget-friendly), but it also has a prototype of sorts of its upcoming virtual camera system. The camera’s orientation and movement is actually tracked in the same way a motion capture suit is, and if you’re in the same tracking space as a motion capture actor you can do “real” camera work with a live 3D rendered preview of the action

James Cameron sees Avatar on Blu-ray 3D in November, HDTV manufacturers mark their calendars

Fox has been slow to show its hand concerning the Avatar home video release schedule, but that didn’t stop director James Cameron from spilling assorted dates and SKUs in a Wall Street Journal interview. He’s pegged a standard DVD & Blu-ray release for April 22, with a special edition DVD and Blu-ray 3D version arriving in November. Considering how much electronics companies have invested in bringing 3D to market this year and specifically Panasonic’s push to make Avatar a box office smash the timing seems right on target
