Thanks to a new report posted at Aintitcoolnews. We have many new details on what's cooking with the 3D production on Michael Bay's Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The report by Capone gives us yet more details on the visit to set last August in Chicago, IL. In the report, it is stated that as much as 60% of the film was filmed with 3D cameras. The remaining 40% being a combination of CGI robot time and post-converted footage.

"According to Bay, about 60 percent of the movie you'll see in the theater will have been shot in 3D. The rest will be either CGI (which is much easier to make look good in 3D) or post-converted. I'm fairly certain that nearly the entire film was shot using both 3D and standard cameras, giving Bay the option of either using the 3D footage or post-converting the regularly shot footage as appropriate."

Techically, this will allow Bay's movie to move very quickly through production because there won't be nearly all the time consuming post-production work that held Avatar down. With less than half of the film, and much of that Computer Generated, left to be processed they will have a film produced in a faction of the time with more live 3D than any before.

Capone goes on to talk more about what it was like to be there on set. Likewise, he goes on to reiterate that "Dark of the Moon" is the best of the three so far. Something that seems to be a common remark by everyone working on the trilogy. Let's hope we really do get more than meets the 3D.
