3D CRW movie

[CaTo 0]

hi,

although already made some years ago (2002 to be exact) I would like to share my attempt of making a 3D skydive clip. using a competition camera-set on my bonehead, some obscure japanese anaglyph 3d software, and 50 hours of editing this came out of it:

you will need some funny red-blue glasses, but then you could be in the middle of a CRW-jump yourself

you see, people think 3D is 'hot' today, but some where already experimenting years ago

It was just like avatar. shit.

If you make the video side by side (left/right) as a huge videofile, YouTube can do the anaglyph/sidebyside or whatever conversion for you.

I tired using the goggles I got from the avatar movie but it didnt work.

I guess it HAS to be the red abd blue ones, huh?
I thought any old 3d goggles would work.

you mean the ones you were supposed to recycle ? :-)

For this sort of anaglyphic 3d, you need the blue/red

There are roughly 3 kinds of goggles/glasses

Anaglyph 3D
Coloured lens, usualy red/green (EU) or cyan/red (USA).
These videos tend to have little to no colour (depending on choice of seperation colours by the creator). Works with one projector/TV.
Having the wrong colour glasses (or bad compression) shows 'ghosting'. Mixing left/right together a bit. Ruining the 3d Effect.
Sadly DV colourspace (4:1:1 or 4:2:0) isnt our friend here.
But lets not go there.

But HD is your friend. Keep thing sharp en highres.

This is the most accesable and common used system.

Polaroid glasses
Works by un-even allignment of left/right polaroid filters
(grab a pair of expensive polaroid sunglasses, look at the cheapo 3d specs you stole from the cinema and rotate those 90 degrees...you'll see the glasses 'switch' due to allignment matching of polaroid 'shuts')
This technique uses 2 projectors and each lens had a left/right polaroid filter.
Broadcasting at a vertical and horizontal wavelength so to speak. Which your glasses filter.
If you hate 3d, watch with normal polaroid sunnies to see only1 eye/frame :p
This system is most common in the newer 3d cinemas.

Shutter glasses
Film rolls at 50 fps. Showing left on even frames. Right on uneven ones.
A bit like interlacing, but different left/right (full) frames.
The glasses have a battery, and switch left/right on/of at 50hertz. So each eye sees 25 frames.
Works with 1 screen/projector.
There are even some solutions for 'pro-sumers' in this field (storing l/r in the even/uneven field, with shutters synced to camera.
Some videogames also use this feature (cheaper than full VR goggles).

There are a ton of other variations (tvs that dont use/need glasses even), but these are the main 3.
Using cinema (polaroid or shutter) glasses at home is 99,9% useless (unless you have specialized playback equipment).

Anaglyph is what you want. Quite often kids magazines running 3d features inude a pair..
As to shooting, make sure your subject is where camera allignment converges (otherwise you get headaches watching, as people are outside your focal
plane). So vary subject/focal distance per shot you make.

And Cato...great stuff (still).
You inspired us to do a 3d wingsuit video 3 years ago. Ill also dig, to see if I can find an old vetsion to also upload.

lol I hung on to mine to. I knew they would come in handy someday. Apparently just not today!
