Ali Larter has revealed that she found shooting in 3D a 'challenge' but enjoyed working with the new technology.
The Heroes actress is reprising the role of Claire Redfield in Resident Evil: Afterlife which will see her reunite with Milla Jovovich with Paul W.S. Anderson in the director's chair.
She told MoviesOnline: "It was really fun and it was a challenge to shoot in 3-D 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 3-D. 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."
And while Larter admits that she enjoyed the shoot she explained that everything took longer because the cameras can only shoot small amounts at a time.
"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 10th September.
