Technologist and media history raconteur Mark Schubin, a Renaissance sort-of-guy well regarded in the video industry, will offer a free 3D tutorial this Wednesday, August 4, at 9:30 am, at All-Mobile Video, 221 West 26th Street – that’s between 7th and 8th Ave. No need to register.
Mark expects his talk to last under two hours, and if you’ve never attended one of his learned, wide-ranging lectures that move from the latest R&D to the pre-history of cinema, you’ll be in for a treat.
Expect an overview of stereoscopic 3D but with an emphasis on issues faced during production. Also on tap: info on microstereopsis, which “no one else discusses.” I’ll let Mark describe that technical topic in his own words, but the gist of it is that the technical choices you make on set bake in either an in-your-face-3D of the technology’s first few decades or that of today’s growing consensus for a just-enough-reality approach, something Cameron chose for Avatar, for example.
Mark discusses some other 3D production gotchas in the most recent posting at his site Schubin Cafe.
