Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and John Lithgow Reprise Their Voice-Over Roles

‘Shrek 4-D(TM)’ Opening Simultaneously at Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Japan Continues the Saga of the ‘Greatest Fairy Tale Never Told’ With Ground-Breaking ‘OgreVision’ Animation and Sensory Immersion Universal Studios Theme Parks and DreamWorks Team to Create ‘Shrek 4-D(TM)’ Multi-Sensory State-of-the-Art Attraction, Based on Academy Award(R)-Winning Blockbuster, Debuts Summer 2003 The effect is much better, of course, at the park. It comes with coloured lens 3D glasses which reproduce the 3D effect on your home TV set. The Shrek 3D movie (without any preshow or “4D” elements) can be seen on a special bonus DVD available with some copies of Shrek 2. When the Terminator movie print wears out or is scratched, it must be replaced at a massive reprinting cost. The projectors are much more expensive than the 70mm film projectors on Terminator 2:3D, but there is NO film replacement cost. It’s the first fully digital theme park attraction – picture quality remains as good as the day the attraction opened. The movie is stored digitally, and replayed direct from hard disk. Unlike Terminator 2:3D, there is no film involved in the Shrek movie. The projectors used are latest-technology digital “DLP” projectors which are extremely high quality. Pairs of projectors are used In order to make the image bright enough. Another pair of projectors project the “right eye image” so that it overlays the left eye image. The special “3D glasses” we wear when we see the film has a similar filter, so only our left eye sees the image that’s meant for it. Two projectors are used to project the “left eye” image which is projected through a special filter called a polarising lens. To reproduce the effect of seeing in 3D, the show designers had to be able to control what our left eye sees, and keep it separate from what our right eye sees. The brain is able to process the two slightly different images from our left and right eyes, and extracts “3D” information necessary to enable us to move around the world without bumping into things. We see in three dimensions because we have two eyes.
