Poor man’s Motion Controlled Shot When people looks @ this shot the first thing they think is Motion Control, however we were able to use a technique that allows for some multiple passing shots duplicating the main character without the big expense. Here is the trick: We shot using a laser on the dolly pointing down at the floor which was marked with tape, We timed the move with a stop watch at each mark along the track of the dolly. We panned only in the beginning of the shot, locking boom and head tilt, keeping the cam @ eye level.

With film producers and distributors boiling down the Stereoscopic film equation to the $2 mark-up for a 3-D film ticket, audiences are starting to air their demands for $2 worth of 3-D entertainment … The following article I wrote can be found in the excellent 3-D publication Veritas et Visus (3rd Dimension edition). I can highly recommend this online magazine for anybody working in the Stereoscopic industry, so do check it out: http://www.veritasetvisus.com/3rd_dimension.htm …As the average 2009 cinema ticket price in the US is $7.20 , that amounts to a mark-up of 22% .

Toy Story 3-D: Something Pixar promised not to do Toy Story 3-D . Pixar has said in the past that they could not see any reason to release their films in 3-D. When asked personally in 2007, Monsters Inc .’s Peter Docter was clear on the subject by stating: “We have looked at 3-D in the past and have come to the conclusion that there is little to no way in which 3-D can indeed enhance the quality of our storytelling or enhance the character interaction in a meaningful way” .

Recently, I have started the 3-D Stereoscopic Professionals Worldwide LinkedIn Group : a group for professionals working in the field of stereo 3D , who also happen to be on LinkedIn . The group is growing very rapidly and already includes members from the big 3-D producers such as 3- Disney , 3- Dreamworks , 3- Digital Domain (sorry, can’t help it) and Sony Pictures Imageworks . Beowulf 3-D: Top-notch Stereoscopic Film Production In the first round-e-mail I sent out, I asked the members why there is not more communication and cooperation between 3-D stereoscopic professionals and, more over, why there is no openness of information and a sharing of industry practises

Beowulf 3-D The 3-D review by Alexander Lentjes The official Movie Poster even refers to the 3-D eye poking There are plenty of reviews of Beowulf 3-D that talk about how great the digital projection of the picture is, how the story is based on a medieval tale and how the motion capture is pioneering cinematic technology. But none of the reviews out there talk about the use of Stereo 3-D , and especially not the cinematic use of Stereoscopic 3D .

Anamorphic Side-by-Side 3-D on Film – a bit like Cinemascope for 3-D Very recently I had an e-mail conversation with 3-D Revolution’s Gary Palmer on 3-D, HD, the best 3-D filming solution currently available and the Pace Fusion 3-D camera issues. The conversation touched upon many core issues of current 3-D film production and, I feel, reflects what many stereographers today think and feel but are not saying out loud . Or maybe we just share a very different viewpoint of 3-D Stereoscopic Film Production from the stereographic profession.

Every time a new 3-D movie is released, silly claims are made about its unique status. ‘The first 3-D feature film’ is heralded over and over again, ‘The latest technological breakthrough in 3-D’ is employed on a steady basis and it’s always ‘The first 3-D movie to envelop you completely’ . What would you say if every new regular movie release claimed to be the first colour movie or the first release with sound?
