Subject: [SCREEN-L] Saving Private Ryan's blood on the camera technique
Does anyone know of instances prior to Saving Private Ryan where blood or
other liquids have splattered onto the camera lens and have been left in the
shot (thus suggesting the fourth wall).
Following this enquiry, does anyone know of any 3D films that have used the
same effect. Step Up 3D allows water to remain on the lens but I haven't
seen this in any other previous stereoscopic films.
