Comment on Stereoscopic Movies: Conventional Wisdom by stereoyellow

Interesting historical perspective, but I think your argument is fallacious. Obviously our eyes are used to moving and refocusing thousands of times a day, but they’re only moving on command from the brain and in a very predictable way (since you already have a rough estimate of the distance to the object you’re about to fixate). By contrast, if you put on glasses you’ve never worn you break this predictability and it gives you major headaches until your brain learns to predict depth accurately enough to make each of those thousand fixations a breeze. Also, when you watch a cut in a movie your brain is not making the decision to view the cut and has to somehow adjust the eyes immediately to deal with it, unlike what happens when the brain decides to fixate on a new object.

Not that I’m disagreeing with your overall point; I just think likening a cut to a simple fixation is a bit awkward.

No. It’s about boy and a dragon.

Deep article. I can definitely get on this. I think that we should pay tribute to the past but always look for innovative ways of doing things. There is a chance that it has been done before but that shouldn’t hinder the others from working to be an innovator.

Nice Work and making people think.

Best,

Dear Debra,

I just reread my story and your comment. It’s all true. Maybe nothing remarkable — but the connections amaze me.

Stan,

I think a lot of it is the texture that is revealed because of the stereopsis cue. I was so dazzled by the look of the film I found it hard to follow the story, although I had seen a lot of the film before completion.

As posted elsewhere here, I just saw Coraline the other night.

Wondrous !!! hardly begins to describe it. The viewer is pulled into a fantastic new universe.

I love how the right people found one another over time and space so as to collaborate in this breakthrough vision. As Vonnegut might say, you and Henry are clearly members of a karass.

Hi Lenny

I just saw “Coraline”. How fabulous and wondrous !!! The 3D let us enter and inhabit a fantastic universe.

Been a fan of 3D since the great Sawyer Viewmaster reels of my 50’s childhood. Never thought that anything as good as the RealD/ZScreen stuff would exist.

Huge thanks to you for opening up this doorway into the future.

Thanks for posting such an informative article! We are so fortunate that the first stereo stop motion animation was created by such talented people.

Reall nice to hear from you Jeff. You can download a copy of my book from somewhere on the site.

I met Ray Dolby once at a trade show and he was so kind to me I’ll never forget it.
