Quote: Disney pioneered the use of special camera rigs that would render the foreground with one ‘stereo camera’ or solution, while rendering the background with another.
I saw that, and my brain hated it. I even tweeted about what I thought it was at the time. This is an absolutely terrible effed, and I don't understand why they do it.
- ericlewis 12y agoinnovation, it takes someone to try something and other's to build off of that to get anywhere. they had the guts to put the foot forward.
- scrollaway 12y agoI'm not quite sure what it's referring to. Is there an example somewhere?
- gaius 12y agoYou tweeted?! Good God, man!
- sjwright 12y agoThe article explains why they do it. "Since a hero character close to camera felt attractive with a stereo convergence, that would mean the background in the same shot would be too extreme and unpleasing on the eye. Instead of dialing down the stereo effect overall, Disney pioneered the use of special camera rigs that would render the foreground with one ‘stereo camera’ or solution, while rendering the background with another. Thus the foreground character would appear round and with more fullness, but their background would appear more relaxed, less stereo pronounced."
- ianlevesque 12y agoYep. It's also worth remembering that different people respond physiologically to 3D movies very differently [1]. Disney thought the effect was useful enough to patent and use for more films, so it's unlikely everyone responds that negatively. 1. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%253Adoi%252F10.1371%252Fjournal.pone.0056160 http://www.plosone.org/article/info%253Adoi%252F10.1371%252F...
