Re: Stereo3D 'Beauty Shot' tests

Dear Mr. Bata,

I just wanted to thank you for posting these beauty shot tests. I think i've learned a lot by watching them.

In particular, the longer lenses, as expected, flattened out the model so much that the only depth, was between her and the background (I assume she was shot in front of a greenscreen, and composited?).

The sense of "being there" really came alive, at 1 meter from the subject, when she feels fully dimensional. The model is fine-featured, so her face still looked great with that much roundness (I wonder how Penelope Cruz would look in the same situation?). However, I noticed that as your IA got larger, there was a good deal more cross-talk. I wonder how much of that was due to youtube's player, or the fact that I was watching it in anaglyphic? I'll have to try the sbs play in my 3D monitor, see how that looks. I have the feeling I'll be returning to these videos repeatedly, for further study.

Again, thank you for posting this. If you came to some conclusions from these tests, I'd love to hear them.

best,

matt faw
