Experimental Anaglyph 3D Film With Motion Effects.

YOU WILL NEED RED/CYAN 3D GLASSES TO VIEW THIS FILM CORRECTLY!

At the moment YouTube's compression has made the film unwatchable at full screen, I'll try uploading it in Divx format when I get the time.

Be warned, this film contains a rather unpleasant reversed vomiting scene (that's tea in his mouth by the way)

This is the first time I've experimented using 2 cameras to create a 3D effect. This film is not meant to be a great artistic statement or anything it's just a muck about to see what works and what doesn't.

It seems to work, though some things must be considered. Due to rendering errors (it was too late to do anything about this) the edges of moving objects are jagged which dulls the 3D effect as well as looking ugly.

For effective, smooth 3D, the camera(s) must be kept as static as possible, especially horizontally. This did not happen very often.

All the shots are poorly framed and lit. I am aware of this. It's partly due to the fact that to ensure both camera's images are identical the settings must be set to "auto". Also editing 3D footage is really hard work, wearing coloured glasses while rearranging 2 overlapping bits of film causes blinding headaches and nausea after an hour or so.

Anyway, this proves that I can make the concept work so hopefully I can make a much more polished film in the future.

I'm not a skilled musician. Would have been nice to spend longer on the soundtrack. That's half an hours work on Orion and Reaktor.

How did you create the anaglyph effect?

@knivesy It's the UK. Weston Supermare if I'm not mistaken. But definately the UK.

WARNING: DISTURBING VOMIT 3D!!

jajajaj esta de poca madre pinche video chingon! :D

what country is this?.. because it's awesome!

I got a fair-to-good stereoscopic effect, even at fullscreen HQ. Red is for left eye for this one.

5:49 is too long for this content; don't need the repeated sequences.

I think a hi-res, 16X9 video camera, with some kind of splitter mounted over the lens would be a good way to do it. All the picture elements would be in sync, and you'd have a squarish, standard-resolution+ image. You would need to control focus and exposure manually, I think.

Maybe you could make it yourself with mirrors.

You can make a cheap steadycam device by taking the center post out of a tripod and attaching a weight to the bottom. This should help with picture quality and keeping the camera level for the 3D effect. I made one with some plastic pipe and BBs. If you private message me I can send you photos.

It looks very good through 3D specs. Well done!

Boring, not good depth, but was prbably fun to make.

Well done!!!

Could be better but nice try.
