Artifact 05

Grey Anaglyph Close up






The fifth artifact that I created for this project is a study of a close-up portrait in 3-d technology. The sequence chosen for this experiment is very short but it is of vital importance to the final product and thus it had to be incorporated in this experimentation.
The concept of this artifact is very simple, as it basically consists of a very short sequence (about 5 seconds) with two layers (background and close-up of the actress’s face). The technique that I chose is a familiar technique that I already utilized in previous artifacts, that of grey anaglyph 3-d.
The main purpose of this experiment is to evaluate the impression of a 3-d close-up compared to a 2-d projection, and whether it is more aesthetically appealing and seems more real in three-dimensional view. The first observation is that the clarity is striking although the technique used usually has poor quality results. Also, I found the 3-d portrayal much more compelling for the viewer and the emotional impact of the film.
Given that the close-up scenes were the reason that I wanted to experiment with 3-d in the first place, as I wanted to convey an emotionally powerful image to the audience, I believe that this experiment has succeeded in its purpose.
