Things You'll Need:
- 2 video cameras
- Tripod
- Scrap of wood
- 1/4-inch screws
- Drill
- T-nut
- 3D moviemaking software
- 3D glasses
-
Step 1
Place the two video cameras on a tripod. The distance between the two should be 2.5 inches from the center of each camera lens. You can put two cameras on one tripod by making a base or tripod plate for your camera that you can screw on top of a tripod. Drill two holes on a piece of scrap wood, and put two 1/4-inch screws where your cameras would be connected. Use a T-nut at the center to connect to the top of the tripod.
-
Step 2
Avoid too much depth. The distance between your camera and your subject or actor should be at least 15 to 20 feet. You can test the distance by adjusting the position of your tripod.
-
Step 3
Test some footages by editing them on your 3D editing software (see Resources below). Drop the video footages on your video timeline. Put the left video footage on top and the right video footage at the bottom timeline.
-
Step 4
Desaturate both clips to make them black and white.
-
Step 5
Modify the right video by going to "Modify" and then selcting "Add." Go to "Video Effects" then "Color balance," then add "RGB balance effect." Turn the radio button for "Red" all the way down to the left for the right video, then for the left video turn the "Blue" or "Cyan" radio button all the way down to the left.
-
Step 6
Render and save your work. You now have 3D video.
-
Step 7
Play your video and use a 3D eyeglass to enjoy it.
