Abe's 3-D World

At long last...I have returned!

View this and other CROSS/CONVERGENT stereo pairs on this blog in 3-D without glasses. Here's how:

1) Click on images to enlarge (when finished viewing, click the BACK Button to return to blog page).

2) View stereo pairs straight on and from a distance of about 2-feet from your screen.

3) Cross or converge your eyes a bit until you see three virtual images. [NOTE: If you don't cross or converge your eyes enough, you will likely see only the original two images. If you cross or converge your eyes too much, you may see four images.]

4) Gaze upon the center of the three images. It will be in 3-D. If at first you don't succeed, be patient and try again. The reward is well worth the effort.

I know. In know. Where the hell have I been all this time? Well, I've got three words: open heart surgery. It's been a very challenging recovery. While I don't possess the stamina I once had, due to the expert skill and stamina of my surgeon and a marathon 12-hour operation, I am above ground. Every day is a blessing. I look forward to posting newer personal work. I encourage comments at ap3dguy at gmail dot com.

I've made a decision to drop the posting of anaglyph images. From here on in, only cross-viewing stereo pairs will be posted. I've never been a huge fan of anaglyph conversions, even those far better than mine.

Remember: click on images to enlarge.

3-D Indie Film Expo - Nov. 24th in Paso Robles California

The first-ever
3-D Indie Film Expo

took off into the far reaches
of the dimensional universe
Monday, November 24th, 2008 in the historic Park Ballroom www.parkballroom.com,
in beautiful downtown Paso Robles, California.

Here's Eric Kurland, our esteemed Technical Supervisor and Projectionist with one of the tools of the independent 3-D film maker's trade, a twin-HD camcorder rig.

The five-hour event began with a 1-2PM social hour featuring a liquid dark Swiss chocolate fountain and various dipping items presented by artisan chocolatiers, Herrmann's Chocolate Lab www.herrmannschocolatelab.com paired with a nirvana-invoking Cabernet Sauvignon and other vintages by award-winning Central Coast winemakers, Vina Robles www.vinarobles.com.

While attendees were sipping wine paired with liquid chocolate, the gypsy jazz stylings of The Tipsy Gypsies www.thetipsygypsies.com, a phenomenally talented band led by Forrestt Williams (at left), whom are undoubtedly destined for movie soundtrack greatness entertained the crowd.

Attendees taste buds were further pampered with tri-tip steak bites, bruschetta, fried/stuffed mushrooms topped with melted cheese, garlic bread, and sodas & bottled waters served throughout the event courtesy of our generous food and beverage sponsor, F. Mclintock's Saloon and Dining House www.mclintocks.com.

Unique 3-D visual displays were placed about the Ballroom satisfying everyone's deep space appetites.

At 2:00PM, the 3-D Indie Film Expo began the first hour of award-winning three-dimensional documentaries, comedies, dramas, extreme sports, music videos, and innovative animated shorts by visionary American and international filmmakers realized through high-definition stereo polarized projection. Glasses were provided.

At 3:00PM we paused for intermission and began our second wine tasting sponsored by Rotta Winery www.rottawinery.com featuring one of their mouthwatering ports (simply delicious when paired with Herrmann's chocolate fountain and dipping items), along with a red and a chilled white wine.

Then, acclaimed 2-D and 3-D Director of Photography, Paul Taylor dazzled our eyeballs with a fascinating high-definition 3-D video demonstration.

Next up: "The Desktop 3-D Revolution" panel discussion on do-it-yourself 3-D moviemaking was moderated by 3-D film historian and author, Ray Zone and featured film makers, Eric Kurland, Tom Koester (seen here behind the camera on the set of "Slow Glass"), and John Hart.

After a short break, Paul's demo was followed by a 60-minutes of short 3-D films from around the world, some of which premiered in front of North American audiences for the first time.

The day's celebration came to a glorious close with a 45-minute networking and social mingle period where attendees re-energized their dance groove with The Tipsy Gypsies as they performed infectious interpretations of the legendary Django Reinhardt / Stephane Grappelli & Hot Club of France along with their own original compositions.

Best Wishes, Abe

Abe Perlstein, Founder / Producer 3-D Indie Film Expo www.3difexpo.com at the Paso Robles Digital Film Festival www.pasoroblesfilmfestival.com .

...and now for
Cross/convergent-viewing stereo pairs:
[Anaglyph versions of the following are posted above.]

View CROSS/CONVERGENT stereo pairs in 3-D without glasses. Here's how:

1) Click on images to enlarge (when done with the image, click on your BACK Button to return to the gallery page).

2) View stereo pairs straight on and from a distance of about 2-feet from your screen.

3) Cross or converge your eyes a bit until you see three virtual images. [NOTE: If you don't cross or converge your eyes enough, you will likely see only the original two images. If you cross or converge your eyes too much, you may see four images.]

4) With all three images in your line of sight, hold focus on all three while gazing upon the center of the three images. It will suddenly appear fully three-dimensional.

If at first you don't succeed, be patient and try again. The dimensional rewards are well worth the effort.
