Developing a 3D Advanced Production Class - What it's Like to Teach on the Bleeding Edge


3D movies have come, once again, into the public eye.  Modern 3D technology has overcome many of the shortcomings present in the last Golden Age of Hollywood 3D circa 1955.  We are now in a position to develop 3D movies that can stand on the merits of storytelling and cinematic craft without 3D problems hampering the success of the production.  The technology of stereoscopic production has come a long way since Sir Charles Wheatstone published his paper concerning stereopsis in 1838.


Now, 173 years later, Hollywood and Indie productions are finding fresh success at the box office while at the same time discovering that precious few people actually know HOW to make a good 3D movie or TV show.  T452 was conceived of and designed to address this knowledge gap and equip our students to successfully compete for jobs on 3D productions after graduation.
