They are actually 3D glasses iirc so they can watch the playback in 3D. Obviously correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh man, cutting and editing an entire movie in 3D... imagine trying to keep those little lenses free of finger smudges for months on end. They probably go through way too many pairs.

I'm sure if you work with 3D film you wouldn't be using the shitty disposable glasses you get at the theater.

Watch the making of The Hobbit on Peter Jackson's Facebook page, it might even be on youtube. It explains pretty well what's going on.

You are correct sir. There is actually one of the doco's Peter Jackson has been doing where he's wearing the glasses while doing location scouting and pokes fun about how everything looks "4D" or something like that.

You are most certainly right, I also would bet that they are active rather than passive like the theatres.

Picture is not safe for people who like to retain the movie illusion (there's an acronym for ya).

Yeah, but these aren't Oakley, so why mention Oakley.

[–]xacid 1 point2 points ago

They look similar to the ones on the site he linked but I do doubt they are Oakleys.

This is a super old repost. I remember this on ebaums world, maybe before reddit even existed.
