Yesterday was the world premiere of StreetDance 3D, attended by Britain's Got Talent Alumni Flawless, Diversity and George Sampson. This movie, the UK's first ever street dance movie, and the first British film to be shot entirely in 3D, will open in British theaters, in realD 3D and 2D, on May 21.
Trailer
Synopsis
Things couldn't be going better for street dancer Carly (Nichola Burley). She's in
love with charismatic boyfriend Jay (Ukweli Roach) and their dance crew has just
made it through to the finals of the UK Street Dance Championships. But everything
changes when Jay walks out on Carly and the crew, breaking her heart and leaving the
street dancers' dreams in jeopardy. Thrown in at the deep end, Carly struggles to prove
to the crew – and to herself – that she can lead them to victory. But, after a series of
setbacks including losing their rehearsal space, she begins to seriously doubt her
leadership skills.
Salvation comes in the unlikely shape of ballet schoolmistress Helena (Charlotte Rampling). Impressed by the skill and enthusiasm of Carly and her troupe, she strikes the street dancers a deal: they can practise in the Ballet Academy's luxurious dance studio in return for collaborating with her ballet dancers. Helena hopes Carly can inject some of the street dancers' intensity and passion into her young charges before they audition for The Royal Ballet.
A clash of cultures ensues as the two very different dance styles face off against each other. After years of classical training, the ballet dancers are horrified at the crew's slouchy style, while Carly is increasingly exasperated at their uptight aloofness. Eventually, and despite themselves, the ballet dancers begin to feel a grudging respect for the street dancers' spectacular moves. And Carly can't help falling for handsome ballet dancer Tomas (Richard Winsor).
Will the two groups of dancers find a way to work together before the Street Dance Championship finals, and the Royal Ballet auditions? Vertigo Films presents the UK's first ever street dance movie, and the first British film to be shot entirely in 3D. With debut film appearances from Britain's Got Talent stars Flawless, Diversity and George Sampson, this groundbreaking event movie is an inspiring, exhilarating joyride through the UK's street dance scene.
Shooting in 3D
Producer John Richardson was keen to make the film in 3D from the beginning, even though it wasn't something that had been done before in the UK. "My producing partner, Allan Niblo, and I had been talking about 3D for a while," he says. "This felt like an obvious film to start with as dance has a lot of depth to it, especially street dance. So we spoke to the guys at Paradise FX, who had made My Bloody Valentine 3D. Once we told them what we're doing, they leapt at the chance to be involved."
Working entirely in 3D posed many challenges and it soon became a steep learning curve for Richardson and the rest of the crew. "We're the first film outside of America to be shot in 3D live action so there's a lot of learning going on," he admits. "You have to think about the design and the positioning of the set because certain things don't work so well in 3D. And, of course, you have to bear in mind 3D tricks, like when things come off the screen at you. Cost is the biggest difference - it's more expensive – but worth it."
