Description
The recent swing in Hollywood towards stereoscopic feature film production (computer-generated and live action) and the conversion of cinemas to digital projection technologies has brought about a paradigm shift in cinematography, which some compare with the transition from silent to "talking" movies. Very soon, stereoscopic display and playback technology will be available on consumer level and will be widely used in digital signage and advertising.
Independent film makers and artists are slowly adopting this "new" method of film production. Creating effective stereo and setting up scenes for 3D capture requires students to develop a strong theoretical knowledge about stereo depth perception and the practical principles of the medium.
