More on 3D

Looks like I'm getting more excited about 3D machinima than I first thought. I did some research this weekend and what I've found looks very interesting and promising.
At one point I decided to set my mark in the history of Machinima by being the first one to produce a 3D machinima film, but at the end found it much more interesting to share all the informations I'll find about 3D and setting up a workflow for a 3D machinima production. This is not a straight road, I'm sure there are some obstacles and for sure we have to make a lot of compromises to get an intersting 3D machinima movie done, distrubuted and loved. As always, the way is the goal. I hope some of you will join me on that journey. Stay tuned for more information.
As a start to get more knowledge about 3D filmmaking I've ordered this book:

"3D Movie Making: Stereoscopic Digital Cinema from Script to Screen"
by Bernard Mendiburu;
You can have a look into that book online at Google Books

Brainfood: Murch and Ariely

I'm wondering why I've not bought and read so far this amazing little book by legendary film and sound editor Walter Much (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now).
In the Blink of an Eye

It's not a basic course on film editing, but includes deep insight into the process of editing, interesting theories and anecdotes and many practical hints. This second edition adds new stuff on on digital editing. Highly recommended for everyone who is into filmmaking.
Second book I'm reading right now and which is very inspirational and fun to read as well is Dan Ariely's :
Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decision
Dan Ariely is a behavioral economist and his research/results are amazing,
especially in the view of the recent economic crisis and our struggle to undertand our own behaviour. After listening to his talk on TED:
Dan Ariely asks, Are we in control of our own decisions?
I wanted to know more about his research and his findings and this book is a great resource of knowledge and easy to read. Highly recommedned as well.
