The LA Times sits down with Phil McNally, “Captain 3-D”, about lessons learned from working with 3D Film, and various classic camera tricks that don’t work in 3D.
2-D techniques such as the rack focus — in which the focus is shifted between the background and foreground to direct the audience s attention — are not as effective in 3-D filmmaking. “In 3-D if you just do a rack focus without anything else changing half the audience will be left looking at someone who just went blurry because there s a strong desire to look at what s closest and there s less desire to look at what s farther away ” McNally says
