3D Glasses effect
A client has enquired about creating a 3D presentation. By 3D, I mean the type where you put on the glasses and the image appears to be coming at you(stereogram, I think).
I know AE has the 3D Glasses effect, but has anyone used it successfully ? How would one go about shooting fotage for tsomething like this ?
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Marco

The key search term would be “anaglyph”. Possibly with “adapter” and “stereo”.
Googling led to:

Hope that helps,

We are in the middle of a 3D project right now, and although we didn’t shoot any original material, we are using perviously recorded stereoscopic video and creating stereoscopic 3D animation. There are a few methods of displaying steroscopic material. The first is the good old red/blue method where one cameras material is tinted red, the other blue and you view it by wearing red/blue glasses. Another method is the interlaced method where each camera is split into the upper and lower fields. This is what we have used. It is played back on a monitor that has a polarizing filter in front of it that is synched to the video. You wear polarized glasses to view the 3D. You can also split the video into two playback sources (one displaying the upper field/right camera – one displaying lower field/left camera) and project them on top of each other. There are a few more techniques that can be used as well. Here’s a few more resources:
