Hyperstereoscopic Timelapse Video
A new "Hyperstereoscopic Timelapse Video" released in 3D by its author, Takashi Sekitani (Japan) in December 2011 remind us that some words request some explanations:
"Hyperstereosopic" means that a 3D video is taken with an interaxial distance between cameras far larger the the human eye's distance of 65mm.In the 3D video here under, cameras were placed apart about 3 to 15 meters (10 to 50 feet). With that kind of setup, the world is seen through the eyes of a giant and thus appears as a miniature world. This effect is called "Dwarfism". Symetrically, "hypostereoscopic" occurs when the video is taken with cameras only a few millimeters apart giving an effect called "Gigantism", as if the world was seen through a mouse' eyes.
"Timelapse" is the opposite of slow-motion video: you take one picture every second or every minute, and you replay it at the usual 24 frames per second. All movements are accelerated several times so you can observe the world as if time is flowing far faster thant it is.

Hyperstereoscopic 3D Video of the Kobe Fireworks
Four video cameras were used to shoot hyper stereoscopic video of Kobe Port Fireworks Display held on 6th August 2011, twin GH13 and twin GH2 with ultra-wide(18mm) for whole view and standard(50mm) lenses for the close-ups.
Filming very far subjects in 3D means you have to use a very large stereo base, a technique called hyperstereoscopy. In the case of this fireworks shot, the distance between cameras was 18 meters (59 feet).
