3D Stock Footage of Paris from StereoCorp3D
Posted by Phil Lelyveld on August 25, 2010StereoCorp3D Introduces StereoShop3D, the First Online 3D Stockshot Service
A comprehensive script‐to‐screen service with a streamlined workflow to shoot and post 3D content
August 25, 2010
Paris, August 2010 — Providing a comprehensive script‐to‐screen service with a streamlined workflow to shoot and post 3D content, StereoCorp3Dtoday announced the launch of StereoShop3D, allowing customers to search from a growing database of 3D clips from Paris, France and soon Europe.
This new service from StereoCorp3D immediately broadens 3D stock footage opportunities for any project or budget range. It allows content creators to start producing material for TV and film without facing cumbersome challenges of stereoscopic filming. About 15 clips of Paris are already downloadable, and more are to come by the end of the summer.
Available online at www.stereocorp3d.com, these royalty‐free clips are easy to download and priced affordably at $399 per clip through PayPal. Optimized for 50 inches TV‐screen, ready‐to‐use at broadcast quality, the 3D shots last between 10 and 40 seconds and give an exhaustive list of Paris landmarks and monuments in side‐by‐side full HD (1080p) resolution.
StereoCorp3D can provide customization of these 3D shots to fit other screen sizes benefiting from the 4K master resolution and its optimized 3D post pipeline. StereoCorp3D production resources will also be available for on demand filming in Paris, France and Europe.
StereoShop3D is the first 3D stock footage online service based on a collection of footage shot in 4k resolution; using two Red MX cameras with sensors calibrated by Red Digital Cinema for stereoscopic filming. The cameras were equipped with paired Optimo Rouge lenses and Element Technica Quasar rig, to offer the most flexible and efficient set‐up for 3D stock‐shot filming.
“When it comes to 3D stock footage, professionals are looking for the fastest, easiest and most cost-effective solution and yet the equipment and professionals qualified for creating such content are very hard to find,” says StereoCorp3D Co-Founder and President, Arnaud Paris. “The cost of putting together a fully functioning 3D pipeline for production companies is a real challenge and equipment availability is also serious issue. By leveraging our resources into this new service our aim is to help content creators integrating high resolution 3D footage into any kind of program such as TV shows or documentaries”.
“Several years of experience in the 3D business helped us figure out how post-production had to be optimized, for instance by using tools like Scratch for real-time stereoscopic 4k editing. We can now provide this online stock-shot service and therefore participate in the effort of studios and TV-channels to offer this new 3D experience to the audience at the highest quality level.” Some discussions about the challenges and techniques for shooting this content on a large scale will also be discussed on StereoCorp3D’s blog.

D Content Providers Await Higher 3D TV Set Penetration
Posted by Phil Lelyveld on August 17, 2010IMS Research
August 12, 2010
As the dust settles from the hype around the World Cup in 3D, production companies and service providers around the world continue to explore the opportunities of 3D video in the home. In a recently published study on 3D, IMS Research identifies that by the end of 2010, over 50 broadcasters and pay-TV operators will be offering 3D services to the home.
Similar to theatrical 3D film releases, production of 3D content specifically for home consumption will see a significant increase over the next few years. Anna Hunt, report author and principal analyst at IMS Research, states, “Although right now there are only a few select operators and networks that have the resources to create and deliver a compelling 3D offering, most leading service providers and broadcasters around the world are considering how to enhance their premium offerings by incorporating 3D.” A survey of broadcasters and operators published in the study 3D Video & Gaming in the Home revealed that 75% of the companies surveyed plan to test or offer 3D over the next 18 months, out of which 20% have already launched 3D in some capacity.
Hunt adds, “Increased adoption of 3D TV sets into homes will further propel investment in 3D content production. Currently, low penetration of 3D-capable displays in consumers’ homes is a leading concern of surveyed service providers, followed by lack of standardized 3D formats.” IMS Research forecasts that by the end of 2014, 9% of worldwide TV households will have a 3D TV set. Penetration is expected to be much higher in the US, where 40% of TV homes at the end of 2014 are forecast to have a 3D TV.

Stereo 3D Filmmaking BootCamp, NewMediaWebinars.com
Posted by Phil Lelyveld on August 17, 2010Stereographic filmmaking is the newest craze in Hollywood, in spite of the fact that 3D has been around almost as long as conventional cinema. Shooting a 3D film has become much more accessible in these days of digital video, miniature cameras and affordable digital editing systems.
In this webinar, presented by award winning IMAX cinematographer James Neihouse, you will learn the basics of 3D/Stereo cinematography, beginning with the terminology then stepping though the process and methods of shooting in 3D. You will learn about 3D rigs, setting up the cameras, the effects of interaxial distance (the distance between the lenses), convergence of the cameras, screen size, and 3D editing techniques.
