Yep..starts next Monday 16th November...ColorCode Glasses required.

Programmes include...

The Queen in 3D
Derren Brown in 3D
Flesh For Frankenstein in 3D
Friday the 13th part 3 in 3D
The Greatest 3D moments in 3D

I'm looking forward to watching some of these even if it does utilise ColorCode, which is basically just another form of the old anaglyph 3D method...dodgy colours, dodgy brightness, ghosting and the resulting eyestrain.

This Channel 4 3D week should be seen as just a bit of fun and in no way represents the quality of where the latest 3D technology currently is.

Question Re: Channel 4 3D week.
HI,

This might seem a really dumb question, but.... if you record the 3D broadcasts via Sky Plus, VCR or a DVD Recorder, will you still be able to view (and get) the 3D effect from the recordings, with the relevant 3D glasses?

Or does the 3D effect only work via the live broadcast itself?

Pooch
The 3D effect won't be anything to do with the live broadcast, so you should be fine recording them and watching them later on

Ha ha....how about Amityville 3D too, or classics like House of Wax or Dial M For Murder?
Disappointed that they are actually repeating Friday the 13th part 3 within two days!! What??

As I don't have 3d eyesight I'll avoid this like the plauge.

Re: Channel 4 3D week.
Is there a C4 website with times and listings Etc for the 3D shows? I cannot see any reference to it?

Thanks

Exclamation Re: Channel 4 3D week.
HI,

There's not much scheduled, but here's what's been planned so far!

Monday 16th
9-10pm The Queen - Part 1 (documentary)
10-1110pm Derren Brown's The 3D Magic Spectacular

Tuesday 17th
9-10pm The Queen - Part 2 (documentary)
1240-235am FILM: Flesh For Frankenstein (18-certificate sex, gore and horror flick from directors Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey; hopefully the full, uncut version, but may be cut even though it's C4; showing for the first time on UK TV in 3D; in English and French with English subs)

Friday 20th
8-10pm The Queen - Parts 1 and 2 together
10-1155pm FILM: Friday The 13th Part 3D (18-certificate horror flick, showing uncut and in anamorphic 1.85:1, showing for the first time in 3D on UK TV)

Saturday 21st
DETAILS NOT YET CONFIRMED

Sunday 22nd
Time and Channel Not Confirmed Yet - 100 Best 3D Moments (A countdown of the 100 best 3D moments, but no other details as to what this will entail, or how it will work, e.g. whole show in 3D, or just the clips in 3D.)

Hardly the most groundbreaking experimental set of shows, but the 2 films will be interesting, if they are shown completely uncut!

Re: Channel 4 3D week.
Cheers for that summary Pooch there is absolutely nothing there worth getting the 3 D glasses for. Unless they're the same ones needed to watch that 3 D episode of Chuck? Can anyone confirm this?

I certainly can....yep, Chuck used Colorcode and they are the same 3D specs.

Re: Channel 4 3D week.
I think they may be difficult to get hold of.
My sainsburys got a re-stock in today, they said, of 1000.

When I went in there where 50 left...

So I got 8 pairs

Do I take it any of the glasses I have with my 3D blu-rays should work for this?

Most BD's will use different coloured filters, so may not work.
The exeption is Monsters vs Aliens, I think, as the same company that makes these glasses did the anaglyph for AVM.

No, it is fairly restricted.
I also read that they are considering taking 4+1 out of it's normal schedule during 3d programming, to have a 2d simulcast.

Tbh, I'm not that big a fan of 3d, unless it is done properly with shutterglases/polarised lenses, or is a proper, StarWars-esque hologram.

No..only ColorCode glasses will work. You can get them cheap on eBay.

I really hope this Channel 4 3D week doesn't put people off 3D. As Michael_L said, 3D is only really done properly when viewed with shutter or polarised glasses. ColorCode 3D still has dodgy colours and brightness and will give you headaches trying to focus on the 3D for long periods.

Re: Channel 4 3D week.
I wonder how many people who weren't aware would be asking why has their tv gone all blue and red???

Remember they HAVE to be the Sainsburys ones. They are called colourcode or Blue/Amber. Someone suggested buying some off ebay but why not for free?

You can see for yourself (samples) on the colorcode website (yes it's american color)
