Shoutout
TOMEKA JONES, CNN STUDENT NEWS: Today's Shoutout goes out to Mrs. Davenport's government class at Point Loma High School in San Diego, California! What does the D in 3-D stand for? You know what to do! Is it: A) Directional, B) Dimensional, C) Digital or D) Diagonal? Three seconds on the clock -- GO! You're perceiving three dimensions when you watch something in 3-D. That's your answer and that's your Shoutout!
The Future of Hollywood
AZUZ: That third dimension is all over the big screen lately. The weekend's number 1 film in the U.S.? 3-D. The biggest money-maker in movie history? That's in 3-D. Out in Hollywood, some filmmakers are going back to school to learn how to make 3-D movies. Kareen Wynter looks at why the method matters.

JAKE SULLY, AVATAR: But we would send them a message...
KAREEN WYNTER, CNN ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT: "Avatar's"
message is that the future could mean big bucks when it comes to 3-D. Created and shot with 3-D technology, the film is the highest grossing movie of all time, with roughly $400 million coming from 3-D screens alone in the U.S.
SULLY: Outstanding.
WYNTER: With so much money-making potential, hopes are high that this latest 3-D boom doesn't go bust, and there's a movement underway to blaze this trail straight into the future.
WYNTER: Is it fair to call you a 3-D guru? You've been doing this for, since the beginning of time.
BUZZ HAYS, CHAIRMAN, INSTRUCTOR/VICE PRESIDENT, SONY 3-D TECHNOLOGY CENTER: Sure. I mean, yes, but there's a bunch of gurus out there.
WYNTER: Buzz Hayes began working in 3-D before it was cool. He's the lead instructor at Sony Pictures' brand new 3-D Technology Center, where filmmakers are immersed in an intensive, hands-on course on how to actually film in 3-D, a method much different from converting 2-D
movies to 3-D. That process drew mixed reviews from critics, where it's used in "Clash of the Titans." But some would say how important is this? Does the audience really see the difference?
HAYES: I think they already are. I mean, based on some recent releases in theaters, I think people are very vocal about the quality of 3-D that they see, both good and bad. So, we just wanted to raise the bar.
WYNTER: And stay above it, says camera director Jack Messitt, who enrolled in the class because he says his future depends on it.
JACK MESSITT, CAMERA OPERATOR: The language of 3-D is really different than the language that we've all learned to utilize in 2-D. With the great increase in 3-D, I don't want to be left behind.
WYNTER: One exec who says he's ahead of the game is Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of Dreamworks Animation. He recently blasted the 2-D to 3-D conversion process, warning that it could turn audiences away.
JEFFREY KATZENBERG, CEO, DREAMWORKS ANIMATION: For the first time in well over a decade, we're actually seeing admissions go up, and 3-D is the reason.
WYNTER: Yes, and they're willing to spend a little bit more for that experience.
KATZENBERG: Well, if you give them something great, and that's the thing we just, I think everybody is being very protective of right now. This is a beautiful golden goose and it's, you know, giving us golden eggs.
WYNTER: And in this golden age of advanced technology where 3-D movies have fired up the box office, industry leaders like Buzz Hayes say the future looks bright. Kareen Wynter, CNN, Culver City, California.。
