What if I told you that the best 3D I’ve seen since Avatar — as well as the most fun I’ve had in a theater this year — came from an innocuous little dance flick called Step Up 3D ? While other directors use 3D to enhance special effects, director Jon Chu shows how eye-popping it can be when those cutting-edge cameras are pointed at real people (albeit people with superhuman dance talents). I talked to Chu about how he pulled it off, how many cameras he broke, and the movie’s terrific, one-take showstopper.
