Recently, the International 3D Society held it’s second annual awards show, handing out awards to some of the biggest names in 3D Cinema. Broadcast internationally in 3D on 3Net, it proved a unique challenge as cameras recording the event caught the 3D movies shown to the audience in only 2D, meaning they all had to be corrected in post.
Miller also faced the reality that the 3D clips shown to the audience would only record in 2D when shot with stereoscopic cameras. So all those clips would have to be replaced during post production at Digital Revolution Studios.
“All of these techniques are still evolving,” Miller said. “For example, we could not tie the Steady Cam’s 3D camera rig directly into the production truck so that crew had to carry their own recorder with them on set.”
I have to admit, I never considered this problem before. It’s obviously a pain for the crew, but seems like it’s going to becoming a bigger one as more 3D movies hit theaters and crop up in awards shows.
