this week at FOMM: Stereoscopic 3D

Stereoscopic 3D
Anything but Boring!

As Dreamworks’ Jeffrey Katzenberg heralds 3D Stereoscopic as “the next revolution”, the makers of Australian 3D short Dead Boring discuss the narrative potential of this future format, as well as the technical considerations such as shooting with two cameras and wrangling the post-production workflow.

How can filmmakers get better command over S3D imagery? How can depth be used as a means to enhance their storytelling capacity? What is the opportunity here for growing global audiences?

Special guests:

• Brad Smith – Producer, Dead Boring
• Dave Edwards – Director, Dead Boring

Date: Friday, May 21
Event: Friday On My Mind
