hi nick. you've obviously given 3D shooting a lot of thought. just wondering what you mean exactly by the 'convergence of a mirror set-up'? is this a major drawback i haven't considered? cheers

hello everyone. i'm about to start experimenting with 3D filming. however, i'm in need of some advice. since i want to shoot 35mm, it would be ideal to use a single camera method (save $$). i've read a bit about shooting with a single camera into two angled mirrors with a set up such as this: http://www.the3drevolution.com/3dbuild.html but i have a few questions before starting: 1. after i digitize all the footage, how do i separate the side by side images and overlap them again? can this be done with FCP? 2. i've never shot anamorphic before and was wondering when the 'unsqueezing' was done. at the transfer stage? or again is this something that's done with FCP? 3. anyone know a way of utilizing a single camera that doesn't require buying an anamorphic lens? i suppose i could just use a normal lens but then the aspect ratio would be vertical rather than horizontal. that wouldn't look so great. any help appreciated. thanks!

thanks!

hello. wondering if anyone can tell me what happened to the konvas smartgroups site? i've been out of contact for a few months and have just now noticed it's gone. has it moved someplace else? or is this the de facto konvas home now?

thanks for the detailed advice! will post some stills once it's finished. :)

i'm about to shoot my first 35mm short and was hoping for some tips. conceptually, the story is told in the form of a communist era chinese propaganda film. anyone have any recommendations on which films stocks, filters, etc might help achieve this look? any advice appreciated. thx!
