I live and work in Calgary Alberta Canada. I graduated in 1994 from Southern Alberta Inst. of Technology here in Calgary and I continue to learn each day more about the craft of story telling. I interviewed with a guy who worked for ABC sports to do some production work for them when Edmonton AB hosted the World Track and Fields Events many years ago. He asked me what I did..and I told him. I shoot, direct, sound record, edit, special effects make-up, produce, write, make lunch and answer the phones. He replied by calling me a "Preditor". I said "What?" A "Preditor" he answered, that's a new generation of digital film-maker that does everything from "Producer" to "Editor"...a "Preditor". The reason I'm emailing you this note. Is that last year at NAB I met a man that changed my life; actually he shaped my adult life by inventing the Steadicam..Mr. Garrett Brown. That's all I ever wanted to do was to operate a steadicam. I own one now. Also, last year at NAB, I visited the NHK display and they were showcasing HD in 3D. I've spent the last months researching 3D and trying to learn as much as I can about how it works and more importantly how a independent film-maker can make it work. I haven't cracked into the business big time yet..probably because I live here and production work is limited, but I will one day. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for all of your inventing and thank you for adding to my life. I'm enjoying shooting with my home-made rig 3D and my world has changed. I can't wait to shoot more and learn more about the science behind it..and I can't wait to see what's next! Sincerely "Thank you" You've changed my life... :) Jeff Hello Mr. Lipton,

(stereography by Sean Phillips). I have not had the pleasure of meeting you yet, but bump into Josh quite regularly. I love your posts and have started writing a little myself on 3-D! (http://www.definitionmagazine.com/issue_pdfs/def29/3-D_HD.pdf). In your piece above I noticed you write, "The concept of orthostereoscopy doesn’t have much importance in entertainment. " Bugs! was an orthostereo film, as are most IMAX 3D films, particularly those shot with the Solido. I think they have great importance in entertainment; they certainly take loads of money at the box office. Did you really mean that? Hope to see you at NAB - I am doing a 3D primer at 10am on Mondaty morning Dear Lenny

]]> Comment on Compositional Differences: Real D vs. IMAX by Thomas Wrobel http://lennylipton.wordpress.com/2008/03/20/compositional-differences-real-d-vs-imax/#comment-20 Thomas Wrobel Fri, 21 Mar 2008 10:44:14 +0000 http://lennylipton.wordpress.com/2008/03/20/compositional-differences-real-d-vs-imax/#comment-20 I dont think theres anything systemicaly wrong with Imax 3D. Some shots in say, Aliens of the Deep 3D, where gobsmacking and perfect. Others...when objects moved too close to the camera..."split" and broke the immersion. The simple fact is, even the best directors (James Camaron in this case), just dont yet have the skills to deal with 3D space correctly. 2D frameing and composition is suddenly not the only issue and thats very alien. Getting the right balance of divergance in and between different shots is going to be a hard skill, but not an impossible one. Of course though, in the end, head mounted displays obviously provide the "ultimate" immersion and make it both easier for filmmaker and viewer alike. "Denno-Coil" like futures where everyone wears AR specs is probably very likely. But theres going to be a 10-20 year gap before that technology goes mainstream. And inbetween we will see many uses of "one-to-many" 3D systems using polarisation. And we will see many badly composed depths, paralax and other artifacts. Also, conversion methods for 2D/3D films are naturerly themselfs only a stop-gap measure. I dont think theres anything systemicaly wrong with Imax 3D.
