Artifact 06

Grey Anaglyph Less Depth






The sixth artifact in the series (Artifact 6), tackles with two technical problems that I encountered in regard to 3-d technology. It is my first attempt at a sequence that has three optical layers, and also my first attempt at dealing with the distortion and image flickering that comes with 3-d.
The technical conclusion is that the manipulation of the settings of the editing software, where I opted for less depth was successful. The quality is clearly better, the flickering is diminished and the distortion is almost invisible. Having these results helped me immensely as I decided that these technical settings will be used for my final product.
The other problem that I could not get around to was the quality of the sequence when it incorporated 3 or more optical layers. This particular sequence that I chose had a background (trees and leaves), the main actress and a very close shot of the secondary actor. What surprised me the most was that the closest shot was also the most clear, and that as the image pans towards the background the image gets progressively worse. However, the results were far better than the other experiments and techniques that I used before.
In conclusion, this artifact was the most useful to me, and the most revealing in terms of 3-d image quality.
