U2 3D

U2 3D is a 2008 3-D concert film featuring Irish rock band U2 performing in Latin America during the Vertigo Tour in 2006. A total of 14 songs are featured in the film, including new songs taken from the Vertigo Tour's supporting album, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. The film consists almost entirely of concert footage, with political statements addressed during several songs. Following the 1988 rockumentary, Rattle and Hum, U2 3D became the band's second feature film, and it was praised over its predecessor. The film also became the first ever live-action digital 3-D film, and created many other "firsts" in the history of cinema.
The project was created to experiment with a new type of 3-D film technology, pioneered by 3ality Digital in 2003. After proposing to film American football games in 3-D, 3ality Digital decided to create a concert film, selecting U2 as their subject. The band was quite hesitant at first to accept, but eventually decided to make the film mainly as a technological experiment rather than as a means to make profit. Latin America was chosen as the location to shoot the film, with seven concerts shot at various venues, and an additional two concerts shot in Australia. The film's complex setup involved shooting with up to 18 3-D cameras at one time, and capturing the footage digitally.
