In the past decade, digital technology has been used by Hollywood as arguments to win the war against the smaller screens (TVs, tablet computers, smartphones, etc.) and the emerging streaming platforms. Among these technologies “3D” and “performance capture” have been employed in many movies in order to enhance the dramatic and spectacular power of films and immerse the audience into their diegetic worlds, especially by trying to make the frame disappear the more they could. The following text argues about the use of these technologies in The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn (Steven Spielberg, 2011) and Hugo Cabret (Martin Scorsese, 2011) following the huge success of James Cameron’s Avatar in 2009. It focuses on how Spielberg and Scorsese managed to work this idea of disappearance of the frame with a pure cinephile style.
