Learn the art, theory and practical techniques to shoot effective and compelling stereo 3D in 12 hours of hands-on, intensive training on 5 DVDs.
Stereo 3D Filmmaking: The Complete Interactive Course is the first DVD class on stereo 3D filmmaking shot entirely in live action Stereo 3D, and illustrated with clear and practical Stereo 3D animations.
Both a practical workshop and a university-level lecture, it will fully prepare you with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in this post 2D Media world. Starting from the basic principles of stereo perception and continuing through to the nuts and bolts of the hardware you'll use on your next 3D project, you'll learn:
- How your brain perceives stereo in the real world, and how that differs from Stereo 3D.
- What stereo parallax is, how to control it, and how to avoid making the mistakes that give viewers headaches.
- How viewer distance and screen size affect not only the viewer's sense of depth, but also dictate key parameters for the stereo shoot.
- The importance of non-stereo depth cues, and how to use them to turn merely acceptable stereo 3D into compelling and truly immersive 3D.
What makes it Interactive?This revolutionary course combines a professional quality, award-winning classroom-style training section with a unique Stereo 3D Laboratory where 20 voice-guided exercises will help you convert the concepts you're learning into real-world, hands-on experience.
Where books and other stereo 3D training materials may leave you with a lot of intellectual information, this unique Stereo Lab lets you put it all into practice, and aids you in converting that intellectual information into real, practical, hands-on experience.
The filmed material won the award for the Best Interactive/Educational Film at the prestigious Dimension 3 Film Festival and the FrameForge Stereo 3D Laboratory is based on the same award-winning Stereo 3D software, FrameForge Previz Studio 3, that is used by Sony 3D Technology Center in their training of professional Hollywood cinematographers, camera men and directors.
What makes it Complete?In addition to all of the above, which starts from the basic principles of stereo perception and continues on through to the nuts and bolts of the hardware you'll use on your next stereo 3D project, this class includes four hours of Expert Insight from Stereo 3D luminaries such as Buzz Hays, VP at Sony in charge of the Sony Stereo 3D Technology Center, Bernard Mendibiru, author of THE book on Stereo 3D filmmaking, R.A. Benson, post-production supervisor on Coraline and many others.
