Edit: Looks like there was a video of the event. (thewrapnews)
According to some sources (1), Jackson spoke with a panel regarding his recent plans and developments for the King Kong attraction slated to open on the Studio Tour.
Some interesting remarks from the event.
He talked about the set-up… a tram rolls into a dark hall, lights go down and suddenly you’re surrounded by screens at all sides, using the Cinerama process, but instead of 3 projectors they’re using 8.
Except this is going to be eight cameras, eight images that project four on each side so that every person on this tourist tram can see this wraparound view of Skull Island. Each images is going to be 4K [resolution], it’s going to be 3-D, everyone gets those glasses, it’s going to be 60 frames per second.
You’re getting buffeted around and you’re sliding down towards a chasm and Kong is thumping the hell out of the tyrannosauruses as they’re trying to grab tourists out of the trams.
“We’re going to be pumping hot air and stinky breath at you,” Jackson said. “And when Kong gives a dinosaur a right hook, there will be goo that will be flying. So it’s going to be a lot of fun and it’s something I’m looking forward to.”
