Question about 3D shows

[monorailguy01]

I know this has been said before but I can't seem to find anything on it...

I was wondering if it is possible to tape a 3D show and get the 3D effect.. like can you put the 3D glasses over the lens of the video camera and tape it, would it come out good?

I have always wondered about this.

Any help would be great

You'd have the best luck by video taping it without any 'interesting' lenses and wearing 3D glasses while watching the recording, though I'm not sure that'd work. Putting glasses over the video camera definitely will not work.

my dad tried that once a long time ago and it didn't work out too well. however, cam corders have come al long way since them. i say go for it, if nothig else it will be an interesting video

From my understanding you will not be able to get the 3-D effect from your video tape. If you put 1 side of the glasses over your video camera's lens you will get a clear 2-D image. If not you just get a blurry image. A 3-d film actually uses 2 projectors to produce a stereoscope image. Here is a good article on how 3-D works.How 3-d works

I considered this, but how then is it possible for them to offer films like Spy Kids in 3D? Most theaters are not equipped with two projectors to show 3D films and the DVDs are also presented in 3D as well.

i don't think that would work. I guess you just have to keep going back to the show until you are sick of it.:sohappy:

I've seen it done, if you hold the camera perfectly level, and make sure that the 3d polarized filter is perfectly level on your lense as well, you should effectively capture "half" of the movie.

Though, i don't know enough about camcorders to know if the left or right filter would work better; i believe that they record using horizontal scanlines, so whichever filter uses vertical polarization might work better (but then again, maybe not).

Spy kids used the very old red blue type of 3-d which I believe will work from just one lens. I also think that there is a conversion process that will allow 1 digital projector to transmit a stereoscope image. Here is an article on the red blue type of movie.http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/question360.htm

Unless you lucked out, I doubt a camcorder would accurately record the correct colour balance of the image on screen to work with the 3D polarising glasses.

I don't think that you can video tape a 3D show unless you put the 3d glasses on the camara and tape it.

It could happen.

I did that very thing (put the 3-D glasses over the camer lens) last trip at the Muppets 3-D show. The image does not come out of the tv but you can get the sense that the image is popping out of the movie screen. It's kind of hard to explain. Also there was a flicker to the movie that you get like when you film a computer screen or tv.

Anyway it was fun to try and we laugh about it every time we watch it.

It would be nearly impossible to recreate the 3d movie using standard equipment. If you could place the camera in the middle of the auditorium and record two consecutive shows with each lens, then you might be able to get somewhere.

If you just want a clear copy of one show, then use one lens of the 3d glasses (as mentioned above).

3d home movies are done in one of two ways. The most common is with red/blue glasses. That's how both SpyKids3D and Shrek3D (the same movie that plays at USF) were.

I have some 3D roller coaster DVDs that use a different trick. Instead of wearing red/blue glasses, you wore tinted/clear glasses. The color wasn't distorted at all, and the 3D effect was convincing.

Not for nothing, it also not legal to video tape any of the movies at WDW. If the CM sees you with a camera on, they will ask you to turn it off. Not saying that people don't do it here and there, but that is copyrighted material that you are not permitted to tape.

I don't think it would work. Too bad though...

I was working for Cinemark Theatres as a projectionist when Spy Kids came out in 3D and the film is printed with red and blue tinting to produce the 3D effect.

There is now a new 3D technology at certain Digital equipped theatres that creates Polorized 3D (The same type as at Disney) but using 1 Digital (DLP) Projector. There's more info at www.reald.com The first use of this technology was for Chicken Little in Disney Digital 3D and it is currently being used for Monster House.

If you have the chance to see a movie in Digital 3D (theres a list of theaters on the RealD website), pay the extra cost and check it out, its pretty slick. Just don't expect things to be jumping out at you. The 3D you see in the movie theaters is mostly there to add depth to the film. The shows in the parks are effects shows.
