The 3-D effect Don is talking about only works with scenes where there is constant motion from left to right or from right to left. But the catch is you have to switch the filter from one eye to the other when the movement changes direction and the 3-D effect varies with the speed of the movement and, often, only part of the image is in 3-D. Also, the best effect is achieved when the camera itself is moving laterally. It's an amusing effect, but it does not compare with images shot as Jim describes - with twin-lens stereoscopic cameras. One problem with the 3-D effect is that it tends to be overwhelming when used in motion pictures. It forces you to focus on the area of the scene where the 3-D effect is most prominent instead of on the entire scene. Therefore, it tends to be less "atmospheric" and also, somewhat distracting ! |
