It's the first time I've learnt about 3-D in depth. I thank Henry for his enthusiasm and encouragement!
Like a curious cat, I was asking a lot of questions about 3-D filming as I knew nothing about it.
A few things that I've learnt from Henry about the things to take note while filming with a 3-D camera.
1. Focus
2. Aperture
3. White balance
4. Shutter speed
5. Focal length
6. Sync focus
7. Sync Interaxial
8. Sync shutter speed
9. Sync frame rate
10. Sync convergence
There are more but as far as I've remembered, these were the important ones.
Henry showed us The Making of Avatar and we were thrilled. I enjoyed watching the IMAX and 3-D version of Avatar when it was showing in the cinemas. I still remember the experience of 'flying' and the beautiful forest in the film where plants were floating around me.
The concept for 3-D is to make sure what we see on the screen looks as though they're coming out to reach for us. This is because what we're trying to do is to create the illusion of depth perception by using stereoscopic photography.
What we use to view a 3-D film is a pair of specially-made glasses.
1. Polarized glasses
2. Red-and-Blue-filtered glasses
Polarized 3D glasses create the illusion of three-dimensional images by restricting the light that reaches each eye, an example of stereoscopy which exploits the polarization of light.
And Anaglyph images are viewed by these Red and Blue glasses.
The Red-volutionary Scarlet to come soon!!!
Henry and his 3-D cameras..
Anyway, I will update this post once I learn more about it. Looking forward to the next lesson!!!
