1. 3D Stereoscopic
Filmmaking
3d stereoscopic film are motion pictures which appears in front of us as an
illusion of 3d dimensional reality usually with the help of looking glass.
They existed in film world since 1915.
But it couldn’t make much because of the costly hardware process that is
required to produce a 3d film.
3d films made its active presence in American cinema and later made a
permanent mark in1980 and 1990 in high end theatres and Disney themed
venues.
It became immensely popular in the year 2000 reaching topmost level with
the success with 3d presentations in Dec 2009.
3d streoscopic film got immense success in the year 2009 due to the
famous 3d movie’’ Avatar’.

2. Some directors also got immense success to 3d film with celebrated actor
Jean –Luc Godard.
3d stereoscopic film has not restricted itself to mere movies been created
by a few number of director who have gained expertise in this field and the
audience just going and watching the movie in theatres.

3. Now 3d stereoscopic film has now become a career option for the new
generation.
3d stereoscopic filmmaking is a career programme that is designed by
many institutes , to make aspiring students very much proficient if 3d
stereoscopic filmmaking.
In this programme they learn how to make 3d effects for movies.
MAAC institute in Chowringhee, Rashbehari and Ultadanga centers in
Kolkata has designed such a wonderful course.
One will learn to work in industry preferred software like Adobe
photoshop,Nuke, Mocha, Adobe Aftereffects , Silhoutte, PFtrack.
and more.
MAAC institute has designed the programme by imparting in depth
knowledge on the subject to aspirant wants to make a career in 3d
stereoscopic filmmaking.
The use of 3d animation is in blooming stage in Media and Entertainment
industry.
Students who enrol in this course become proficient in the entire process
of production, starting from indepth creation, clean plate generation, and
other aspect of stereoscopic conversation.
The duration of the course is 144 hours.
Lets Discuss the Content of 3d stereoscopic filmmaking
Digital Enhancement – It is the process by which digital images are
adjusted and enhanced so that it is possible to display it more vividly.
Through digital enhancement one may remove noise, sharpen the
image,brighten the image, so that one may be able to identify the key
features.

4. Generally it is a technical method to deal with compression, that reduces
the number of pixel.
The main technique of image enhancement is stretching, slicing,histogram
equalization and some aligorythmn based on retinex.
It will produce halo effect and high time complexity.
Actually image rythmn increases the perceptibility of any image.
Basics of Compositing-Compositing is the process by which visual elements
from different sources are combined together to show that they are a part
of the same scene.
The live action shooting for compositing is called chroma keying , using
blue screen , green screen.
Compositor takes different element like animation background plates
graphics and specila effect and then create marvellous picture by
compositing all the elements.
They infact combine shots and images.

5. Concept of Stereoscopy- Stereosopy is a technique of creating or
enhancing the illusion of depth by means of binocular vision.
Stereoscopic method presents two offset images to the left eye and right
eye of the viewer.
This two dimensional images are combined together to give a perception
of 3d depth.
Depth creation of 2d/3d- The depth from 2d to 3d is created with the
help of stereoscopic dual camera.

6. A depth range camera is designed to generate the model of a scene.
A image is converted from 2d to 3d generally with the help of depth map
estimation.
Depth map fusion method and the other method is based on saliency map
of image.
Conversion- Convertion is the process of transforming 2d film into 3d
form.
A 2d convertion adds binocular disparity depth to digital images .
Thus it improves the immersive effect of the stereo video in comparison to
2d video.
Clean Plate Generation-A clean plate is an empty piece of video clip that
include the same composition lighting and movement as the final clip.
It is a background scene without subjects or other objects in it.
A blank plate is given to the compositor to give an idea the difference
between one part of the shot and the other part.

7. Rotoscopy- Rotoscopy is the animation techinique that is generally used
by animators to locate motion picture footage from frame to frame.
Generally in early age the technique used by animators is projection of live
action moving image on a glass panel and thus tracing the image.
Mocha is the software used for rotoscoping nowadays.
It has several spline tools available all designed to make rotoscoping an
easier task.
Planar tracking- Planar tracking is a new tracking technique used by
editorsand vfx artist.
A planar tracker uses planes and textures to track shot instead of points or
group of pixels.
Match-Moving- Match- moving is motion tracking that is used by a Vfx
artist.
It is the process of matching live action footage with live action camera.
Career Option after completing the course on 3d stereoscopic filmmaking-
After completing a course on 3d stereoscopic filmmaking one may work in
the following positions-

8. Roto artist- Generally the work of a Roto artist is to draw or cut objects
from movie frames where computer generated images or other live action
images overlap or interact with live image.
Depth Artist –Depth artist is the person who is responsible for creatively
creating depth in a 2d image .
By creating the depth artistically in 2d image he may convert it to 3d image.
Compositor- A compositor is a person who take final image of a frame
shot or image and put them together to make the picture realistic.
They do a major work in 3d stereoscopic filmmaking.
Match Moving Artist- The work of a matchmoving artist is to match CG
generated scenes from live action footage.
They take care whether it is realistically combined or not.
Clean Plate Artist- The work of a clean plate artist is to generate a clean
plate in the back ground without any subject or object in it.
It is given to the compositor to give them an idea about the difference
between one shot and other.

become the above discussed professionals.
