Rupert Grint made an appearance on BBC’s The Dermot O’Leary show. The interview is about an hour into the show; go here to listen on BBC Radio2! You can also listen below:
Rupert Grint has reviewed the first 3D digital camera for the Daily Mail that you can read here! Here are some segments:
The camera uses two lenses, and the LCD screen is constructed so as to send a separate image to each eye, which creates the 3D e ffect. If you don’t look at the monitor straight on, you won’t get the illusion of depth.
You can use the Fujifilm W1 for regular 2D photos and video. When in this setting, the camera uses only one of its two lenses (although there are some clever options that let you take simultaneous 2D photographs with di fferent settings for each lens – ie, one can be full colour and one monochrome).
But switching over to the 3D mode opens up a whole new world. Shooting 3D video was the most impressive aspect of it; this really showed off what the camera is capable of. You are free to move with the camera and try more ambitious shots. I experimented, trying to capture objects moving towards you, and seemingly coming at you out of the screen when played back. I was impressed; it worked surprisingly well.
Taking 3D photos only really works for quite a specific kind of shot: you need to have a decent depth of field in the picture, so close-ups or distance shots don’t do it justice. If everything is more or less the same distance from the camera you don’t need 3D at all, and using it can make the image look slightly confused.
When you do get a good 3D shot though, it’s very impressive. As with the video, if you find the right angle and the right subject matter you can take some really stunning photos.
In a new interview with This is London, Rupert Grint discusses his life and other fun facts!
What are you most afraid of?
Spiders have a real physical effect on me – I lock up and go all shaky. I can’t go near them. I’m so bad at killing them, I always seem to miss and then they crawl on me and it’s all quite dramatic. My entire family has this phobia.
What would be on your tombstone?
‘Rupert Grint – THE END’ with engraved credits in order of appearance of everyone who has appeared in my life.
What’s your life philosophy?
Laugh at yourself.
What animal would you most like to be and why?
A seagull: you can fly, live by the sea and eat human food. I think that would suit me.
What makes you laugh and why?
People falling over always gets me. Obviously if it’s really serious and they’re really badly hurt then I will stop laughing. It’s also not so funny when you do it.
What makes you cry and why?
I saw Up recently which really got me.
What are you up to at the moment?
We’re in the middle of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows out in Watford in a studio in a disused airport. It’s going really well. We started February last year so it’s been quite a long one. It’s going to be really weird when it’s over. Obviously there have been the same people involved in it for about 11 years and then suddenly it’s all going to stop. We finish in June so there are a few more months left. I think it’s a very different film from the others. There’s not much Hogwarts and we’re all living rough with beards and messy hair.
