Ali Larter: 'Filming in 3D is challenging'

Ali Larter has admitted that it was a "challenge" filming in 3D for the movie Resident Evil: Afterlife.

The actress revealed that although the picture was difficult to shoot, she found the new technology to be "exciting".

Speaking to Movie Online, she said: "It was really fun and it was a challenge to shoot in 3D but it was very exciting to be on the forefront of a new technology.

"You can't cheat. The cheats are what's really hard because a lot of time you learn how you can do that and just move to get out of the angle. There's a lot of new kind of technical difficulties that come along with shooting in 3D. But also, how many times do you get to work in something that's a new medium in a way? It's really exciting, really fresh and part of it is that it takes extra time and you might make mistakes."

She added: "The camera can only shoot 23 seconds and then it breaks. Then you have to wait two hours and then you start again.

"Some days we'd only shoot 30 seconds worth of footage but you have to be patient. The people are just learning with these cameras. They're very sensitive. You have to be sweet and delicate with these bad boys. If it's too cold, they freeze up. It it's too hot, they get steamy. But that's what's exciting about it."

Resident Evil: Afterlife is released in cinemas on September 10.
