Le nom de ce dernier n’est pas inconnu des lecteurs de www.jaws-3d.com puisqu’il a déjà été mentionné lors d’un court article consacré à la trading card#22 de la légendaire firme Topps. Dans cet entretien, Phillips revient donc sur ses débuts et son travail lors du tournage de classiques tels Urban Cowboys, la couleur de l’argent, la trilogie Naked Gun et… Jaws 3D bien évidemment! L’occasion pour lui de donner son avis sur le phénomène 3D:
« Nice time of year to be in Florida, being the Winter. I learned a lot about the occular system shooting 3-D. I did actually shoot some 3-D images, even underwater. It wasn’t a very profitable film but had a good time and lost 14 kilos of weight diving 12 hours/day for 5 weeks!! I think 3-D has it’s place. “Avatar” in my opinion was and is the best use of 3-D technology there has ever been. Too many 3-d films are too “gimmicky” and throw objects in the audience’s laps to thrill them. I also believe that the inflated ticket prices are to the advantage of the distributor and the exhibitor. This is one of the reasons you’re seeing a rise in 3-D films. It’ll make more people more money. The films that we shoot in 2-D and then converted to 3-D, just aren’t there yet, in my opinion. I did shoot “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” in 3-D but Brad, the Director, didn’t use trickery like some 3-D films. »
Un peu comme les Dents de la mer 3 en quelque sorte…
