3D!!!!
So the other night my roommate and I engaged in a 3D cinema experiment. Using two canon 5Dmark2’s we created a very simple live action 3d shooting apparatus. Our preliminary test worked out and the next day we did a bigger test using a different configuration.
This is the first rig we set up. It worked out very well but to make it more mobile and ad the ability of pan and tilt we changes some things around
I have however discovered after spending a day processing it into a red/blue viewable medium that it is very important to be very accurate with the position of the cameras. In many ways we “ball parked” the positioning of the cameras we used levels and the likes but it was not perfect. The footage certainly reads as 3d. The human persistence of vision allows for some margin of error but i have discovered that that margin over time will lead to one hell of a headache. For our next 3d rig build i am for sure going to take more care and time in accurate camera positioning.
Anyway if you have a set of red/cyan 3d glasses you can see the fruits of out labor. It is about 45seconds long, not long enough to get a headache watching.
