In pre-production: S3D Video

I am currently in pre-production  on a
3D multi-cam shoot for a telecommunications
company. We plan to use a variety of cameras including
the Go-Pro, Red, and 3DA1. We are planning
a test shoot next week with a shoot date the following

In pre-production: S3D Ghost story

should be going into production sometime in August.

Michigan Talent Spotlight – Jenny Januszewski, Director of “The Shadower”

I just started  3D Post on this project. The Director like me grew up in Michigan. Here's a link to the article. It should be the first one at the top. If not, look for the July 7 entry.

A Little Bit of New News

I've been very busy with going to a lot of 3D events and seminars
and shooting lots of 3D. In addition to shooting with my new
Fujifilm W3, I've had an opportunity to shoot with the Go-pro
Hero 3D and the Sony TD10 cameras. And regard to shooting
with the Go-pro I found the image quality to be good. However,
the lack of a viewfinder makes it a little hard for framing and I
found I need to hold the camera a little lower than I would
normally hold it. In regard to the Sony TD10, the image quality is
very good and I was very impressed with shooting in low light.
The editing however, is a little bit complicated because you need
to use Sony Vegas Pro for the PC. Myself as well as another
group of people are exploring workaround for Final Cut Pro and
Premiere. I am currently running MAC OS with Bootcamp, which
allows me to run Windows 7. Finally, on the job front, I have a
couple of projects in 3D that I am in pre-production on and will be
starting post in mid-July on one and first of August.

GoPro-Great Tech Support in 3-D (it was like they were in my studio with me !)

As you may or may not know GoPro acquired the company Cineform. They have a lower  price point as well as new updates to the Neo product line.  I sent a e-mail to tech support and was very pleasantly surprised to got a e-mail response back quickly. I explained the technical issue I was having soon after trying to work me through it they offered to do a remote diagnostic of my problem. I was up a running in no time!
Thanks to Laura and the Great Team at GoPro!

ZALMAN IN THE HOUSE

About 2 weeks ago I got my ZALMAN Stereoscopic 3D monitor. I configure my 3D content as interlaced and it uses polarized glasses. Images look Great!


Bye Bye anaglyph.

UPDATE My Current Project-Nothing Personal-Stereoscopic 3D

Well I was hired to do the compositing on the 3D music video "Nothing Personal". When I started I was doing the green screen exaction and tracker removal. The project was mostly shot on green screen with 2 RED camera on a beam splitter rig. The CG backgrounds were made in 3dsmax. Compositing tools include AECS4 & Mocha AE.

My Current Project-Nothing Personal-Stereoscopic 3D

My current project is a Stereoscopic music video "Nothing Personal" shot on green screen with two RED cameras using a beam splitter rig.

I was brought on the project to oversee some of the VFX and do keying and roto work.

I am working with the R3D files inside After Effects CS4 as well as using Mocha for the green screen extraction. there are aprox. 150 shots


Here are some BTS Photos

WELCOME- please put on your 3D glasses
