I've always wanted to go look at the graves in this pioneer cemetery in Lacey, Washington. Although it was too cold and rainy for Janice, I was not disappointed. Some interesting people are buried in this place! Wow! Unedited i.e. point and shoot... what happens happens... more interesting that way! by Roger Maddy

Janice Maddy, I went into your room and tried to get online with your iMac, so I could hook up your iSight camera and stream live. Give me a break. I hate Macs. I'm a PC hacker... Thanks, Roger Maddy Casting Broads in 3D

The very last part of this animation is in 3D (when you see Janice and I acting suspicious in the glider cockpit). To see that last part in 3D, wear red/cyan anaglyph glasses with the red lens over the left eye during that segment. Here’s how I try to get an “optimum” amount of stereoscopic 3D depth in every image. Watch the animation a few times, and hopefully you will understand the simple concept. Compose the shot by visualizing the final frame of the image, and the far left and right edges of that frame. Locate the nearest and farthest visible points in that stereoscopic frame. This includes _any_ point that is visible, anywhere, i.e. on the ground close to the camera, in the sky, far, far away, etc. Anything that is visible has to be included… _anything_. Imagine the frame (that same final frame of the image) being located at the same exact depth as the _nearest_ point. That frame is divided into 30 equal, horizontal segments. The left and right camera viewpoints are horizontally displaced (shifted) exactly one of those equal segments (1/30th of the frame width) apart… end of story. It can’t get much simpler than that… but… This is actually “reverse engineering”, but don’t worry… it is easier to do than it sounds. You can set this up any way you want… by changing the stereo base (the distance between the left and right lenses) of the stereoscopic camera… or by moving closer or farther from the near point… or by changing the focal length and the field of view… or by excluding the most distance object, etc… however you get the job done will work… Visualizing what is going on before you shoot the scene is the tricky part, but keep practicing, and you will eventually be able to do this very quickly. If you can come up with a visual aide or two, that helps, e.g. I have a piece of paper with a vertical black bar down the center that shows me what “1/30th of the frame width” looks like… BTW, that final frame (the “stereo window”) can be shifted, later, forward or back in the depth of the scene, but that initial frame is what defines the total amount of depth (”stereoscopic deviation”), i.e. the distance from the nearest visible point to the farthest visible point in the entire scene.

This video is in 3D. To see it in 3D, wear red/cyan anaglyph glasses with the red lens over the left eye. A very short video experiment… animating a still image stereoview. This is an old black and white, public domain, stereoview with a quick “transitional” pan (with motion blur) and a “zoom out”.

This video is in 3D. To see it in 3D, wear red/cyan anaglyph glasses with the red lens over the left eye. This is a real short, low rez, low frame rate example (you can render high rez images), but I figured out how to (somewhat) easily make animated stereoscopic 3D scenes with Google SketchUp software (I’m using the freeware version). 1. Install Google SketchUp, then download a model. 2. Open the model in SketchUp and create an animation. Save the animation project file, then save an exact, duplicate copy of that same project file, with a different file name. 3. Open both “saved” animations in separate SketchUp windows, resized on your monitor, placed side-by-side, either as a parallel pair or crossed pair (you’ll have to figure out how to view them stereoscopically, e.g. with a stereoscope or free-viewed.) 4. Open the first frame of each scene that you created in the animation (one at a time) and shift the camera in one window by panning _exactly_ left or right (horizontally) until the amount of depth is desired for that frame. When finished, "Update Scene". Since there are no guidelines in the SketchUp GUI, I open a separate program that can be used as an overlay (placed in “always on top” mode), squeeze the program to the minimum height possible, and use the top or bottom edges of that program as “guides”, e.g. IrfanView freeware works perfectly for this purpose. When you are finished, if your panning was perfectly parallel (horizontal), you should end up a separate left and right perspective animation with interpolated frames with an animated stereo base. Since the cameras were “pointed parallel”, you will need to shift the parallax (”set the stereo window”) in post with something like StereoMovie Maker. I fudged with my video and used Adobe After Effects to create an animated, floating stereo window, but that’s just my personal preference (for reducing ghosting and window edge violations). I also try to keep the amount of depth “below optimum” to reduce anaglyph ghosting. Since my anaglyph internet videos are typically viewed with a small viewing FOV, the depth is exaggerated a bit, which helps the stereoscopic effect, in that case.
