Overview

Learn the art, theory and practical techniques to shoot effective and compelling stereo 3D.

Stereo 3D Filmmaking: the Complete Interactive Course is the world's first interactive course on Stereo 3D, shot in live action stereo 3D combined with clear and practical animated Stereo 3D illustrations. 3D glasses, Virtual Stereo 3D Film Studio & Stereo Player Software included.

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 from watching it
  • 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
  • Frame Violations, the "magic" of the floating window and how to use its power wisely
What makes it Interactive?

In addition to the over two hours of stereo 3D "classroom" material that's shot in Stereo 3D, this class comes with a special FrameForge Stereo 3D Laboratory (both Mac & Windows) and 20 directed, audio-narrated stereo 3D exercises that let you test and apply the knowledge and techniques you learned in the class, in an optically-accurate stereo 3D virtual film studio,.

This 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...

For directors, cinematographers, producers and stereo 3D enthusiasts.
