3D Kyoto Higashiyama Flower Lantern Festival 2009

Stereoscopic HD video of parallel side by side format on The Flower lantern Road Festival held every March in Kyoto Higashiyama District. 2,400 Lanterns of both traditional and modern are arranged along with the streets 4.8 km long. Laser and LED lights are also used to illuminate the gardens and buildings of historic temples.

Shot with homemade stereoscopic video rig attatched with DOF adapters consisting of 50mm/F1.4 DLR Lenses and Ee-A focusing screen in front of HC3 HDV cameras.

On 22/7/2009 I made change to utilize YouTube 3D function to this already uploaded video. I could not reshape the 3D video format. Specification of yt3d:let/right can not be accepted. Sorry for your inconvenience.

Decent 3D anaglyphic depth throughout the short film, but a lot of the scenes have the parallax too wide, causing too much ghosting and slight eye strain. Some shorts were quite good in depth, parallax width and clarity. Two other problems though. During conversion to YouTube, the video shrank and only shows in the middle of the play window and the music is to chaotic.

This light beam at the end of the video looks a bit displaced when in one line with all these lanterns. Anyway, great video! Great 3D quality :)
