Is 3D here to stay? Yes it is. Given the amount effort,
money and development that has gone into Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit, which has
now been confirmed as a trilogy.
The following video blog of The Hobbit has given me quite a
lot to think about with regards to filming in 3D. Including the method of
aligning the cameras and a stunning effort on behalf of the concept art team!
So having looked at that, some of the things I need are 2 high
quality cameras, a special mirror, some aluminium rods, a few servos, a mini
video mixer and a brain wave or two.
Believe it or not, I have seen stranger shopping lists.
This theory will be the basis for my Mk5 3D rig which I
intend to be much more advance than the wooden constructions of the past 3
years.
Instead of mounting both cameras side by side I hope to develop
some kind of rig that will allow me to achieve much greater control over the intraocular
distance using a trick mirror or split beam mirror.
Now there’s the decision of what camera to go for. It has to
have genlocking and optionally needs to come with some kind of remote control
that controls more than just record start/stop. At the moment the Canon 7D is
looking like a good option.
This is a very large project which is in the early speculation stage at the moment therefore it is difficult to give full details.

On another front the script for my Mk2 performance capture
setup is complete and is now being formatted. With any luck I can start testing
this soon. However this project also has the question of
what camera to buy hovering over it. At the moment a wired bullet style camera
is looking like the best option.
