Camera Techniques 2.

Another camera technique I'm really interested in using is the Stereoscopic shot. It's actually the same method used for 3D filming with those red and blue glasses, only no colour is saturated and rather than play the shots at the same time. Using two cameras, which are side by side (like a pair of eyes) you flick through the footage each camera films very quickly. The idea is that it tricks the eyes to thinking that the background of the shot is stationary, while the foreground flickers about quite surreally.

I first saw this technique it in a music video for Harmonic 313 (it may make you feel a bit queasy):



This was on the Creative Review Blog with a few other videos that used cool techniques. I think this will be a very good method to use, especially for my dream sequence.

Again, I'll shortly post up a test shot of this technique, for you to see and it'll be good practice for me.
