Question about particular video effect?!

[Jeff Ray]

Here's the video to which I'm referring to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSkzHFUheXA&fmt=18

(I put the high quality code on there, so don't freak that it's youtube.)

Anyway, this is really HVX related, but people tend to post in here more, so I thought I'd see if anyone can answer my question.

I'm trying to figure out exactly how the effect in the video below was accomplished. I'm assuming it was two still cameras attached side by side? But you'll notice that a lot of the time the subject doesn't move. Is this just a matter of the way the cameras were arranged when they shot it? And if it is just two still cameras, what is the specific equipment necessary to achieve the effect. Is there a specific cord/cable out there that is universally known about that I'm totally ignorant to?

Anyway, if anyone could go into specifics about how it was done, that would be awesome. I've got a video coming up that I'd like to incorporate this effect with and also book end the still cameras with HVX's (if possible).

Thanks guys.

The effect I looked at looked very much like a tutorial I watched on a website called digital juice. If you have a chance to go on the site look for a tab for djtv, click that and search for cutting class season 1 episode 101 it is titled moving pictures.
The technique used to create the effect in the digital juice tutorial and the effect shown on the you tube example looks as if the same technique might have been used. Good luck on your upcoming project.

It just looks like a stereo still camera, where they take the frames and display them alternately and full screen, instead of in some way that sends one image to your left eye and one to your right eye. But yeah, most stereo rigs are effectively just two cameras side by side. You can buy stereo cameras that put both images on the same piece of film, too.
