All About Our Authors
Mark Huber
| Author’s Bio |
| Mark Huber has been professionally involved in theatrical special effects since the late 1970s, with an extensive background in the motion picture, theme park, and game industries. His first stereoscopic 3D projects were game systems developed for EPCOT at Walt Disney World in the early 1980s. Mr. Huber was a member of the technical staff at Walt Disney Imagineering, Research and Development, where he spent almost a decade studying the “Entertainment Applications of Polarized and Monochromatic Light,” with attention to unrealized stereoscopic 3D applications. He is currently the primary inventor of Technicolor 3D, a 35mm film-based polarized light stereoscopic 3D delivery system. Mr. Huber is also the inventor of note on 6 patents for the manipulation of polarized light and stereoscopic 3D. The Technicolor 3D system is anticipated to generate at least 16 additional patents in the area of stereoscopic 3D. Mr. Huber holds an undergraduate philosophy degree, Magna Cum Laude, from California State University, Northridge and an MS in Geology from California State University, Los Angeles, where he studied optical mineralogy and developed the scientific foundation for his work in stereoscopic 3D. |

expressionism; German —
An artistic movement of the early twentieth century.
According to cultural historian Walter Laqueur, “To try to define Expressionism is a thankless task given the inchoate character of the movement.” In general terms, expressionism emphasized the subjective view of the author, rejecting naturalism and any attempt to depict the real world. Expressionism was both a visual and literary movement, but it is perhaps best known as the cinematic style characteristic of German filmmakers from 1919 through 1933 (German Expressionism), with its distorted and exaggerated images, unnatural angles, heavy shadows, and forced or false perspectives. The most famous examples are Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, 1919) and Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror, 1922).
