Stereographic 3D & Cinematography

Stereographic 3D Festival pieces (shot using a Beam Splitter Rig)
- The Future of Search (true stereographic)
- The Future of Search Production Stills
- YouTube advice: The best way to view true stereographic 3D is on a 3D capable device (3D TV or projector, PC with a 3D video card, or even a 3D mobile phone). Old-school anaglyphic glasses will work, but are not as good.
