We’re really excited to announce that our award winning 3D short film  “FourPlay” is one of the 10 finalists who will have their work included on a Sony 3D Blu-ray disc to be distributed free with 3D enabled TV’s and Blu-ray players!

The Sony 3D World competition had submissions from across the globe including entries from as far afield as Japan to New Zealand, Canada and Mexico. The winning entries were decided by a judging panel including Buzz Hays, senior vice president of Sony’s 3D technology center in California, 3D film director Julian Napier, Lee Danskin, training and development director at Escape Studios, Sony Europe’s Richard Palk and members of the editorial team at Future Publishing’s 3D World magazine.

The prize, as well as being included on the 3D Blu-ray to be distributed to millions of potential viewers, includes as Sony Bravia LX900 3D TV for all of the top ten entrants, with the top three winning a matching BDV-F700 Blu-ray disc home cinema system.

Our entry “FourPlay” was an updated version with most of the animations improved or in some cases completely replaced by new animations. The video was also converted to 24p and had to have all the audio re-sequenced in order to match the 24 frame rate. We will update the site when the full HD 1080p dual stream stereo version is available on the Sony 3D Blu-ray disc.

Thanks go out to the organisers at 3D World, Sony and the panel of judges!

The style of the video was inspired by the hologram 1990’s arcade game “Time Traveller” and took over six months to complete. It is believed to be the first stereoscopic 3d music video to be made in Scotland. With the majority of post production work done in After Effects the stereoscopic workflow and mastering stereoscopic paralax was key to getting the video completed and receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Would you like to see the 3d music video?

It’s a really good (and free) source of info on creating 3d and the terminology involved. It covers not only the basics of delivery but the concept of convergence or parallel shooting and the effect of all the variables involved. It’s full of great info and gets all the info across in a concise and simple manner.

Their IODCalc app looks like an ideal add on to any stereographers toolkit.. well if you have an iPhone that is.
