“A Systematized Visual Pipeline for Digital Stereoscopic 3D Filmmaking”
Digital tools are transforming stereoscopic 3D content creation and delivery, creating the opportunity for broad acceptance and success in the marketplace for stereoscopic 3D films. While at the current time this success is primarily centered on computer-generated animation, a powerful and efficient ‘systematized’ WYSIWYG Pipeline for Digital Stereoscopic 3D Film-Making is described which allows the efficient, intuitive and accurate creation and integration of multiple disparate elements into stereo 3D, be they CGI, live-action, stop-motion or 2D. This efficiency enables producers and directors to quickly expand their vision to a high-quality stereoscopic 3D product without becoming a dedicated ‘3D house’ themselves.
