Over at Stereoscopy News they’ve published the 10 Commandments of Stereoscopy, providing a good baseline of what NOT to do in 3D Cinematography.
This text was elaborated by the StereoscopyNews editor back in 1994, then revised and edited several times, the last one in 2010 after several stereographers were consulted, and consecutively exchanged contradictory opinions. We hope the text reflects the middle-of-the-road vision of what to do and what not to do when shooting 3D.
Look it over, and what do you think? Leave anything out?
On supreme rule (to rule them all) : you shall never use stereoscopy to fix a poor screenplay, bad actors and lame director.
