Hi there, this is my first Blog, I'm going to talk about projects and ideas I am working on and use it as a way of keeping people up to date with what I'm doing,


At the moment trying some idea out in video and using stills photography which use stereo photography, the same subject shot from to different positions, then the images are overlapped to give the viewer the feeling of depth in the image, I worked quite a lot on this a year or so ago, and now I have a good chunk of time I working through the footage I created using 2 cameras shooting together.

I'm going to make a short 3D film, by creating all the clips with After-effects then making them into pretty low rez bits of footage which can then be edited live(I'm dong to the music of Magic Arm. a friend of mine who is doing some really nice stuff)using MotionDive, this software I usually use to do Live Visuals at gigs and club nights, this will mean I can be quite spontaneous with the edit and experiment with overlapping clips which should be fun.


To get my eye in and start my brain thinking in 3D stereo mode again I did a quick project yesterday where I took a picture I did earlier this year of a tower in Manchester, this image was made by making a small model of the building out of card then Mapping shots I have taken from angles all around it at ground level, then creating what looks like a finished building in Photoshop, anyway, to make it 3D I took the building apart, turning all the walls into different layers then put them back together with some walls stretched and pulled, to create 2 viewpoints of the same building. I've got a plan to go back through some more of my older shots and see if I can turn them into 3D using this method.

This is the original Image....




and this is the stereoscopic 3D version. Your eyes need to overlap the image by staring through it. It gives you a bit of a headache eventually but is the simplest way of viewing stereo pairs...
