A story about storytelling.

The Oscar nominations came out recently and some were surprised to see that it was in fact Hugo that received the most nominations with 11 including best picture and best director. But considering just how good a film it is, I’m not surprised one bit.

Perhaps it’s less surprising when you learn Hugo’s director is none other than Martin Scorsese, who decided that with this film he would have a go at filming in 3D.

Now, I didn’t watch it in 3D, mainly because I don’t like it, but even in 2D you could tell that Hugo used 3D pretty well. It was depth 3D, not just the “oh it’s coming right at me” 3D that’s used by every other 3D movie apart from maybe Avatar.
