The Magic of Stereoscopy

"Lin Kayser, CEO of Iridas, describes the learning curve like this: "When people ask me where I see stereo right now, I compare it to the early days when people realized they didn't have to shoot films on a stage: they could film outdoors, shoot close-ups. That opened up a whole new visual vocabulary for film-making." With stereo, this new vocabulary has to be reinvented. "You can't do the same kinds of cuts, and set design is a whole new game since you cannot do out-of-focus backgrounds. Filmmakers are finding new ways to focus audience attention on elements in the image and new ways to create transitions."
