Good idea!

It might be possible to make your own DIY video of Serenity in 3D.

A color filter in most video editing software allows one-click or multi layers of desaturated color replaced with red or green color, then the 2 color layers shifted slightly to give the 3D effect. Any generic 3D glasses could be worn to view the modified movie.



Or it would just be really frakked up, with EVERYTHING jumping out of the screen, causing epileptic seizure.

Yes, but I would also add a side of caution: manipulating the film like that is a copywrite infringment.

Eh, I've played with the filter, it's really not all that. It's gives a fake impression of dimensionality - sorta. But the software has no way of telling what is supposed to be foreground, and what's supposed to be background. In my opinion, it looks rather crappy.

There's a reason it's costing in the ballpark of 5 million to fully convert at 2D movie to 3D - there's more to it than just colored filters.

Ideally a 3D movie is shot with 2 cameras side-by-side. Spacing is 2 inches for less than 10 feet to the subject, wider spacing for distant objects. Anyone could shoot home movies this way.

Any of the fanvid FF productions could use this system for less than $1,000 total price of 2 handheld HD videocams mounted on a single tripod or portable rig.

CGI must be re-rendered, with POV shifted on the 2nd virtual "camera", then both layers color-shifted to give an illusion of 3D.

Normal 3D using cyan/red glasses is blurry and fails to show true color.

Polarized glasses do show true color but require a super-expensive movie screen that theaters don't have.

Quote:



At Disney World, Universal Studios and other 3-D venues, the preferred method uses polarized lenses because they allow color viewing. Two synchronized projectors project two respective views onto the screen, each with a different polarization. The glasses allow only one of the images into each eye because they contain lenses with different polarization.

I have no idea how the new 3D HDTVs work, whether a totally new 3D video editing system is required.

That is all correct - but doesn't change what I'm saying. This system separates colors yes, and can push some colors back, while bringing others forward - generally bringing red or warm colors up, and blue or cool colors back. But it cannot simulate the 2 perspectives that true 3D does. So, this system creates a false 3D - which can look convincing depending on the source video. This is helped by the fact that skin tones tend to be warm, and backgrounds tend to be cooler (color temp wise). But it's hardly reliable, and just gives a false impression of depth by that pushing, rather than accurately representing what is closer or farther from the camera.

To convert 2D to real 3D (as has been done with several film, and is currently being done to the new Clash of the Titans), requires the foreground elements to be rotoscoped out of the original frame, and the background painted in behind (digitally of course) to recreate what a 2-camera 3D system would have captured.

As to the new 3D sets and Blu Ray disks, they use larger, heavier bluetooth enabled goggles, which alternately close shutters over each eye, 24/30 times each per second.

What is rotoscope?

Rotoscope is a free software rotoscoping application that can be used to give photos a cartoon-like appearance. This is similar to the technique used in movies such as Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly.

http://toonyphotos.com/download.html





Quote:

Rotoscoping (often abbreviated as "roto") has often been used as a tool for visual effects in live-action movies. By tracing an object, a silhouette (called a matte) is created that can be used to extract that object from a scene for use on a different background. While blue and green screen techniques have made the process of layering subjects in scenes easier, rotoscoping still plays a large role in the production of visual effects imagery. Rotoscoping in the digital domain is often aided by motion tracking and onion-skinning software. Rotoscoping is often used in the preparation of garbage mattes for other matte-pulling processes.

Rotoscoping has also been used to allow a special visual effect (such as a glow, for example) to be guided by the matte or rotoscoped line. One classic use of traditional rotoscoping was in the original three Star Wars films, where it was used to create the glowing lightsaber effect, by creating a matte based on sticks held by the actors. To achieve this, editors traced a line over each frame with the prop, then enlarged each line and added the glow.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotoscoping



Adobe After Effects is also a "cheap" rotoscope.



You can rotoscope manually frame-by-frame using Photoshop and filters. It's a bitch at 30 JPGs per second. Example at 6:00:

That software is not the original meaning of rotoscoping - I was speaking of cutting the elements out, frame by frame. Yes, it's possible to rotocope out the elements yourself - but to do it well, will take hundreds if not thousands of hours. Good luck with that. AND, it still doesn't fill in the background behind the foreground elements.

That 3D model would do be do-able, since you have full control over all elements. but the full film - sure, if you want to dedicate a shitload of time to something that will turn out "okay" at the very best. The fact that you think you can do this and make it true 3D is hilarious. Again - there's a reason the process costs a lot - it takes a lot of work.

But why I am surprised that our resident crazy person has a thin grasp on the possible.

No, it seems you don't understand, because those links don't have anything to do with what I'm saying. Yes, there's going to be 3D capable home systems, at a very high price for the first few years.

This has nothing to do with PN self-converting a 2D film to 3D useing consumer software.

If the cell can do it - which they have yet to demo, so I'm not sold - it's still going to be something driven by new tech, and not done with that goofy color filter PN is going on about.

Jeez.... did YOU read what I wrote?

I didn't dispute ANY of that. For Christ's sake, man, how many times do I have to tell you I'm talking about the FX plug-in PN started this with???


Which is, since this seems to be inexplicably difficult - NOT the same as the Toshiba Cell. Can you grasp that??

READ next time, rather than assuming you know what I'm saying. I never said it was impossible to convert to 3D - just that that software wouldn't do a very good job of it.

And when it comes to the Toshiba cell, as I said, it remains to be seen how well the process works. Sure, they claim it'll convert 2D images to 3D, but they have yet to demo it - and there is the matter of how WELL it accomplishes the task. Or are you now going to tell me that every single claim in a press release for technology they're still developing will be 100% accurate?

Apparently , no one should presume to know what you're saying...Mayhaps not even yourself...

Here's a vid that's over 2 years old , whereby the Cell processor is demonstrated in a Toshiba television...Admittedly , they're not showcasing the 3D upconvert at that particular juncture , but who'd know better what the processor might do , being that they were co-creators of it ?



'Course they wouldn't show all their cards at once...That would be a tactical error versus their competition .

True 3D is about more than just planes of depth, it's about merging images shot from 2 separate angles a few degrees apart (whatever our eyes are apart). You need that difference or it's just 2D times 2. That's why 3D cameras have dual lenses.



If it wasn't shot this way then it can really get you 3D, only a facsimile.

With Avatar's success "3D" has become marketing gold, just say "3D" and people swarm without really looking at what it means. Really can't get away from the geometry of it.

Could be that the facsimile is 'good enough' for most purposes , if I take you to mean what I think you mean...

That would mean simulating 'merging images shot from 2 separate angles a few degrees apart' .

For many perceptual issues , a reasonable facsimile is 'good enough' .

One of the things Douglas Trumbull discovered about frame rates is that an increased refresh enhances the perception of 'realism' . At one time he had created a process that he called 'Showscan' , IIRC...Ok , here it is on wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Showscan
http://www.showscan.com/

He really should get more credit , now that there are new televisions with refresh rates many times greater than the older technology allowed .

By the way , I saw the price tag on one of those 3D HD camcorders recently...

$ 21,000 !

First test run in photochop using these instructions, without using 2 stereoscopic images, just cutting and pasting 2 layers.

images.piratenews.org/serenity-firefly-3d-piratenews-org-test-5.jpg

images.piratenews.org/serenity-firefly-3d-piratenews-org-test-6.jpg

So it just gives 2 flat layers, but that's better than 1 flat layer. By doing more cut & paste, its possible to have several flat 3d layers. By using Transform/Skew on object lawyers, it may be possible to simulate infinite layers as if using 2 cameras, but only on that one object skewed.

A 3d Serenity model could be photographed twice, using 1 camera from 2 position 2-inches apart, to give true 3d. A globe would give true 3d for the entire image.

The following image was taken with 2 cameras, for true stereoscopic vision, though it takes 30 seconds for my eyes to relearn how to see in 3d and not see double:

Youtube is now in 3D, with 14 options for 3D per video. Embed does not have this function, so go to the main YT site:
youtube.com/watch?v=Tg_W9zOOfuw

This video is shot with 2 cameras (except for Avatar):







Most "3D" vids on youtube are show with one camera or color-shifted from a normal video. Instead of stereoscopic they look lumpy. Correct 3D requires closer objects to have a wider "overlap bleed" of red/blue, with more distant objects having less red/blue bleed visible. Using 1 videocam makes near and distant objects have the same amount of bleed.

Using red/blue 3D kills the color mostly, that's a very primitive B/W technology from the 1920s.
