OK, I find this topic interesting...
I have been getting rather interested in Stereo 3D and I am looking at the whole game very seriously now.
Upon first researching I read posts from some very tuned in peeps on this site and various others that-
"3D is a complex art and has many factors to it... that there is a wealth of material out there and that you should get started researching".
I thought I would never accomplish this in such a sort time but I have done so and it didn't nearly take as long as I dreaded. It's not as hard as Algebra, so to similar people looking into it I would say give it a go.
It has many factors to it but as long as you understand the basics your half way there. So just in case I've just shot myself in the foot. Veterans please correct me if I am wrong on anything to maintain the accuracy on this thread, so...
I have been looking at the creme of the crop 3D systems out there and in competition at the top is the PACE system created by DOP - PACE for JAMES CAMERONS productions.
It has just been used on Hannah Montana 3D, The Jonas Brothers, and currently the much anticipated AVATAR.
From the looks of it, it's by far the most slick looking system. A possible rehoused, SONY CINE ALTA camera with calibrated Angenieux Zooms.
There seems to be two types of rigs, a large system and a smaller hand held one. There seems to be NO use of a mirror/beam splitter device as the dimensions of the CINE ALTA seem to conform very nicely sitting side by side.
NOW TO THE RED.
Were not so lucky at this moment of time (until the new RED CAMERAS are released) The Red body is TOO big for two reds to sit side by side for the right "INTEROCULAR DISTANCE" factor to take place.
BEAM SPLITTER Devices-
The idea of Beam splitting devices which allow the user to position two cameras in there required spaces effectively. They have been used since the 80's on for examples Disney 3D production.
PARADICE FX vs PS TECHNIK rigs-
Both of these company make or rent their own types of rigs which are pretty much the same as each other. A vertical camera shooting face down at an angled mirror while camera 1 (on movable bearing system) stayed fixed shooting horizontally straight.
Convergence is met the same way it would be on the CAMERON/PACE rig.
The PFX rig was just used on "MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D" with Red one and Silicone cameras.
SO now that I have done a little bit of an introduction to this thread. My main question is, except for the obvious work flow etc. Is there a massive difference to what seems to be the supreme Alta rig or is the 4k Resolution on the RED Comparable or even better but for the fact that in it current housing shell it has to employ the clunky "Beam Splitter".
Another thing to consider, lenses... Angenieux Zooms "the best zoom in the world" or is there another route for this.
Much thanks
