It is not difficult to understand why the 7680 x 4320 pixels of picture resolution, immersive 22.2 channel 3D sound and 60 FPS refresh rate impresses viewers more than 3D with its bright super crisp images. But why people acknowledge a 3D effect remains a mystery, even to NHK.

Whether you love it or hate it, 3D Stereography is here for awhile. And if you’re totally into it like I am, you quickly realize that there are few turnkey workflows out there to capture and process 3D Stereo video that’s easy to setup, shoot and edit Stereo pairs. Sure, there are a lot of high-end (expensive to rent) systems for two cameras to shoot, software to sync/mux the footage and rigs you can build to edit it, but GoPro has brought it together with a fun and easy-to-use system that anyone can use.

Mastering Film » Cutting in the Third Dimension
This article is an exploration of 3D techniques and ideas. I have spent two years gathering blogs, videos, looking for articles on a new visual language for film editors and meeting with 3D post specialists. There are several things that need to be addressed prior to the reader proceeding. First, this is not a technical guide to editing 3D, however, when my journey began it quickly became obvious that knowledge of the technical aspects of 3D is necessary to execute new ideas and that a lack of knowledge in this area would lead to a subpar article on the ideas of 3D editing.
