New Upgraded 3-D Blu-Ray Of Friday The 13th Part 3 Being Released Later This Month

 German home video company Turbine has just announced the eleventh film in their collector series with Friday The 13th Part 3, in 3-D! This new release has the company completely updating the 3-D rendering for home video consumption and could possibly be the best representation of the film in three dimensions ever released to the public.

Read below for the entire breakdown of the process of updating the film, which gets a bit technical, but shows the level of detail that has been taken to make this version of Part 3 the best ever seen at home. Visit the Turbine site for more details and price (The site is in German). The disc releases on February 25th. Big thanks to Dawn Of The Discs for the heads-up on the release.

AND ONCE AGAIN IT’S FRIDAY THE 13th (FRIDAY THE 13th: PART 3) from 1982 impresses in 3D last but not least with crazy pop-out effects in which objects supposedly stand out from the screen. Previous releases of the film have struggled with significant distortions. Such errors in 3D rendering do not necessarily lead to a complete loss of the 3D effect, as the brain has a certain tolerance. But looking at faulty 3D images is exhausting and causes constant headaches.

Turbine has therefore had extensive corrections and improvements based on the existing 3D master for the release on Blu-ray 3D. This is how the image was adjusted in the parameters of horizontal position, vertical position, zoom, rotation, keystone X, keystone Y and trim. These optimizations were performed for both eyes together and for the left and right separately, i.e. 21 parameters per image setting in total. The adjustment of the image parameters took place in stages when the camera was still. If the image was moving in a scene through camera rotation, angle change or zooming, these 21 parameters had to be adjusted for each position. The parameters were initially determined automatically with the help of a 3D correction system and then fine-tuned manually.
