Reality Clock 3D Awarded Gold Medal at Student Oscars

on Tuesday, 12 June 2012 12:25. Posted in 3D Shorts

The Reality Clock” is a stereoscopic 3D short movie by Amanda Tasse, a University of Southern California former student. The stereoscopic 3D film won the “Best Alternative” category gold medal at the AMPAS’ Annual Student Academy.

The film is an experimental animated portrait of an elderly watchmaker as he struggles to accept the influence of early stage dementia on his identity and sense of time. Shot in full stereoscopic 3D, using time-lapse photography, pixelation, live-action and stop-motion animation, "The Reality Clock" immerses the viewer in the internal experience of the character, expressed through metaphors of a clock, house and morphing landscapes.

Amanda said "While not my first stereo film, it is the most ambitious one given the amount of media layering and visual FX that were required, and the fact that I used captured, rather than computer generated media, which of course can’t be easily fixed once shot."

on Friday, 01 June 2012 19:50. Posted in 3D Shorts

Planet Power is a high-quality 3D 1minute 13 seconds advertisement for the BMW S1000 RR motorbike.

Featuring complex high speed squences and heavy CG visuals, the one minute and twelve second film has spent months in post production. It was co-produced by Kamerawerk (Switzerland) and Weisscam (Germany) who faced the challenge of filming 3D stereo at high speeds and adding complex postproduction effects : "Driving very fast and shooting 1.000 fps really brought together all extremes!"
