Sources from the 3D World Magazine & Sony 3D competition have noted via their forum that around 50 entries were received for the 3d short film competition. Entries came from all over the globe, including  Japan, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico and the UK. The good news is, as there are over 50 prizes up for grabs, everyone should get some prize to reward their efforts.

The original plan was to announce the winner at this week’s SIGGRAPH and to showcase the winners there, however the sheer volume of entries has delayed this. Steve from 3D World via the forum said that he expected the winners to be announced once they get back from LA. With SIGGRAPH closing at the end of this week hopefully that means everyone who entered should be hearing in early August.

We’re incredibly pleased to announce that our Stereo 3D group over on Vimeo has hit the 1,000 videos mark. That’s a phenomenal number to have amassed in less than six months and is a testament to the surge of interest with amateur and professional film-makers alike that the resurgence of stereoscopic 3d film has had.

It’s great to see the group growing and it’s a humbling experience to regularly see such great work on the channel. If you’ve not visited it yet grab your 3d specs and come on over.

The Stereoscopic 3D Channel – TESTBED on Vimeo.

As a continuing experiment with 2D to 3D conversion Enhanced Dimensions will be converting a series of B movie trailers over the coming weeks. The trailers have been created using footage that is listed as Public Domain and uses several techniques to convert standard 2d footage into 3d anaglyph videos.

Our first converted trailer is for the fantastic “Carnival of Souls” and can be seen over on our YouTube or Vimeo Stereoscopic 3D Channel right now!

We’ve added another cool animated video to our stereo stock library: a spinny 3d background thing ready for you to add a simple overlay and you’ll have your very own 3d movie trailer.

(Special thanks to Andrew Kramer at Video CoPilot for the tutorial on this spinny kind of background.)

Show me the Stereo 3D Stock Video!

Our 3D Stock Footage library is growing with our “3D News” stereoscopic intro now available in both anaglyph and seperate left & right video formats, plus we’ve got some further awesome animations in the pipeline.

Downloads are now available in our “Downloads – 3D Stereo Stock Footage” section.

Enhanced Dimensions is proud to announce the availability of stereoscopic stock 3d video and animations from our downloads section. This S3D footage and animation library will grow over the time and most importantly is free for use in any of your non-commercial stereoscopic 3d productions. Perhaps you need a simple “Put on your 3D Glasses” intro animation or an animated 3d title plate… it’s all there pre-prepared and ready for you to add in your personal touch.

Downloads are now available in our “ Stereo Stock 3D Video” section in downloads.
