I have anaglyph stereo glasses…cool plastic ones that look like Ray Bans™, but many do not.  For you guys I give you this “Wiggle-Stereoscopic” image

ps -click on it and give it a second..it’s a little large

…as in…”in the fog” Was able to, somehow, make it in to the office through the mayhem and get this time lapse. First ones you see are Sausalito in the distance, then….since I was unaware of the correct location….The SF fireworks started just off to the right of Alcatraz. I kinda like the turn when I moved the camera. Had to use grain removal to kill the noise from the high ISO, guess I should have researched night photography a bit more, eh?

Just testing out the old Push the trigger and fire away method. Mounted my cam on a Gorillapod (which had the intesting side effect of panning during the shot) and just held down the button and took a bunch of pics, as fast as my cam could go.

Brought into After Effects, and bam. Lots of potential, if I planned ahead.might need to try this again on the bay.

Aetuts.com has a new review of Optical Flares from Video Copilot up.  And, shockingly, it’s an overwhelmingly positive review… Good stuff.  We are getiing it for all the computers here at the office and for our renderfarm….Can’t wait to really figure out cool ways to use it.

Video Copilot Website

Gonna try to post some of my old faves up here over the next few days. Makes for a good repository of video and will start getting me in the habit/comfortable with posting more. Now I just need to pass my site along and get people to check it. I am sure posting more couldn’t hurt, eh?  This one is NOT mine….but is something I really like. Came across it during a search through Vimeo stuff…..really great how the soundtrack amps up the work at the end…..
