mccordia 74 #1 June 2, 2010 Heyhey, For those that don't know, next to the skydiving/wingsuit flying madness, I also run a post-production company specialised in 3D animation and special effects. Recently Ive been getting a lot of work in terms of stereoscopic 3D, and as part of a concept tests/work showcase I got to play with some (2D) skydiving footage. www.airrebels.com now has a new project showcase added, with some wingsuit flying in 3D. Some of this footage started life as video some as pictures (mostly shot by Scotty Burns), but all shot with a single camera. The depth was added via a combination of 2D and 3D techniques. Note: Anaglyph (Red/Cyan) glasses are needed to properly view this footage. So whip out the funky glasses and enjoy. This is just a teaser. There is a LOT more wingsuit 3D coming soon!JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Costyn 1 #3 June 3, 2010 Very nice Jarno, too bad I only have red/green glasses. It kinda works, but not that great...Costyn van Dongen - http://www.flylikebrick.com/ - World Wide Wingsuit News Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomOwen 0 #4 June 3, 2010 Really nice Yarno! My Cypres 2 3D glasses work great with it Is it very labour intensive creating the 3D still images from a single exposure, and are there many disadvantages? I know Bruno used dual stills cameras for his 3D work, and still spent some hours creating a polished product - how is the time taken/product quality different when working with a single exposure? Aaaaaaaalso, did you use specialist 3D software, or just knowledge of 3D techniques applied through "traditional" 2D editing programs? Great stuff. Can't wait to see the rest!

mccordia 74 #5 June 3, 2010 Quote Is it very labour intensive creating the 3D still images from a single exposure, It really depends on the image. For some its simple. For some its helland are there many disadvantages? Quote Disadvantages are that every layer of depth has to be manualy created. So fine detail (hairs etc) are hard to get the same detail (in depth) when compared to footage shot in stereo. We've done some (non skydive, and skydive) stereo projects in the past. But this 2D>3D translation process (making old stuff suddenly be hip and cool again) is increasingly popular. We have some old topgun 3D stuff, from 2007/2008. But the SD quality makes it look quite pale compared to what we can do these days. We (FLB) have some 3D shoots planned as well for this summer. So expect more coming out of that as well. Aaaaaaaalso, did you use specialist 3D software, or just knowledge of 3D techniques applied through "traditional" 2D editing programs? *** Its both actually. I am working with DSE on actually getting some instructional materials out there, so everyone can play with this using the simple or more complex products they know :) Depending on the time you want to spend on this, you can make it as simple or complex as you want. Should have another clip online in 3 hours or so!JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomOwen 0 #6 June 3, 2010 Thanks for the answers! I look forward to the instructional materials, it would be really good to have a play with this kind of stuff without the stereo set up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elias123 0 #7 June 3, 2010 Wow Man, That 3D video is really cool! I can't wait to see your future projects! Keep up the good work and see you on Sunday for some fun flying! :) Eli"In a mad world, only the mad are sane" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slim_shady 1 #8 June 3, 2010 Yeah, this looks pretty awesome !! I really need to buy this crazy glasses. Anyone have an idea where you can buy this cool looking eyewear ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
repcool 2 #9 January 9, 2011 Any news on the instructional material? I mounted 2 Contours to record left and right channels.......but I am struggling to figure out which approach I should take to edit them together! Any pointers would be appreciated....it appears my iMovie skills are not up to he task. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 74 #10 January 9, 2011 Just create a video with the left/right video squeezed side by side in one stream. And via YouTube you can select the different viewing modes. See this example. When you choose the 'side by side' option in 3D settings, you see how the video was uploaded...JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
repcool 2 #11 January 11, 2011 Thanks for that hint Jarno. I did a side by side in iMovie and uploaded to youtube using the 3D tags and it looks like a 3D movie now....except I need to make some glasses now to see if it really worked! How exciting!
