I just read the “Global 3D Spotlight 2011″ special that was handed out at MIPTV two weeks ago. Thought you´d appreciate this quote on 3D production from marketing director at Sony Professional Solutions David Bush:
“We can all look for a couple of minutes and quite enjoy stuff that’s flying out in our face, but if you sit for half an hour, an hour or movie-length in front of 3D material and then come way from that feeling like it’s been really confortable, that takes a lot of craft………We learned a lot on the World Cup project about not cutting so often, about panning wider, not zooming and panning so quickly when you’re cutting between shots, to ensure that the shots are relatively the same depth. Because our eyes don’t instantly move between different depth points – so it’s learning all those things, actually slowing down the prodcution process, rather than the cut-cut-cut technique that we’re all used to when watching football, for example.
