Step Up 3 in 3-D?

Sharni Vinson: "In 3-D, right? It gives it away in the title. You can't expect 2D out of Step Up 3-D."

Do you dance differently when you're doing it in 3D and you know that legs are going to be kicking out at the audience?

Sharni Vinson: "It's so funny that you asked me that question because when I actually booked the role for this job, the director called me personally to tell me congratulations. But before he told me for sure that I booked the job, he played a little joke on me and he said, 'So I'm just going through your resume and it seems that you have great experience in everything, but none with dancing in 3-D. Do you think you can handle that?' And I'm like, 'Well...' - I'm fighting for my life - I'm like, 'Yeah, absolutely. I think I can handle that.' And it was just a joke, obviously, because you can't do anything different. They do everything, so it's fun."

There are no exaggerated movements.

Sharni Vinson: "Exactly. They exaggerate it in fine-tuning the dimensions, but we can't do it."

Have you seen it?

Sharni Vinson: "I have."

And?

Sharni Vinson: "Actually, you know what? I haven't seen the full cut of the final version. I've still only seen the rough version, which I hear is very different now. I have seen little parts of the reshoot scenes they've put in there, so I know it's going to be great. I can't wait to see it for real, finally."

And it has such a fanbase. Was that kind of cool coming into something that's established like that?

Sharni Vinson: "Totally. I'd seen the first movie and I'd seen the second movie, and growing up a dancer I was very aware of how these movies make you feel when you walk out of there. And I know Disney and the objective of what they're wanting to get across. Basically, I think at the end of the day, as long as everybody walks out of the theater feeling uplifted and like they've had a great time - and maybe even like they want to go and do a dance class themselves - then I think we've done our job in the movie."

How does it fit in with the other two? Is there a continuation at all?

Sharni Vinson: "There is a small continuation, yeah. Little Alyson Stoner, who played Channing Tatum's sister in the first movie, who's now like 16 and beautiful, she's obviously a big part of this third film. And little Adam G Sevani, who was Moose in the second movie, has come back to carry off this movie as well and to lead us in there. So there's a couple people in there from the first one and the second one as well."

Isn't it just fantastic that dance has all of a sudden just come back? You've got all the TV shows and movies with dance, and everybody is accepting them.

Sharni Vinson: "Yeah, exactly. It's amazing. I think dance has just hit a huge comeback and I'm not sure why, but I love it and it's about time. I think with this whole new 3-D technology that's taking over this year, I think it's just perfect timing to throw a dance movie into the equation - like Step Up 3-D."

Interview : Alyson Stoner

How much fun did you have working on Step Up 3?
I had a complete blast working on Step Up 3. I loved it! I feel very blessed to be part of a movie that's as wonderful as this. It's seriously awesome. In fact, I think it's the best dance movie in the world. 
Were there any bloopers during the film shoot? 
Of course there were! You can't shoot a dance movie without some of the dance moves going wrong at some point. You also can't shoot a dance movie without someone tripping up or falling over during the choreographed scenes. We all took a tumble or two during filming!
Tell us about your most embarrassing tumble... 
I have fallen over many times during filming and dance rehearsals, but my most embarrassing moment was when my costume completely fell off during a performance! This didn't happen when I was working on Step Up 3. It was during a musical I did on stage, but it was extra embarrassing because Mariah Carey and Tom Hanks were in the audience at the time.
Eek! Tell us more... 
I was doing a musical with Debbie Allen alongside Corbin Bleu, but my whole outfit unzipped itself and fell off. I had to keep dancing until I could get off stage and reattach all of the clothing before running back on for the finale. 
Were there any other embarrassing moments on the set of Step Up 3? 
Well, there's a scene in the movie where I had to wear a nametag stuck to my shirt - but I'm scared of stickers! 
You're scared of stickers? 
I know it sounds silly, but I'm petrified of them. The substance on the back of stickers is very dirty and I don't want it touching my skin. It's horrible. I have to face my fear every time I wear a nametag, but I try not to think about it. You know what? I really struggled with that scene, but I eventually got through it. 
What do you like to get up to when you're not working? 
I love to try out new things. I like to explore and I'm very adventurous, but you'll always find me dancing at some point in the day.
When did you discover you could dance? 
I've been dancing all my life! I've been training in dance since I was three years old, and I've been teaching dance for the last eight or nine years. I love dancing. I couldn't imagine life without it.
