T2i 3d Test

Me and my roommate did a quick test a few weeks ago to see if we could pull off 3d. It works at some points but not at others. I think the main problem is that its just not possible to get the lenses close enough together. This footage was shot with the the left camera aimed straight ahead and the right camera turned just slightly left.

If anyone has any recommendations for how to improve it let me know. http://vimeo.com/10441977

Any chance of putting that up as a split screen for cross eyed 3D?
 
Beam-splitter rigs would be the answer.
B-S rig accommodate images where the closest focal point is equal to, or less than approximately 15-20 ft. Using a side-by-side rig at such distances causes little more than eye-strain and headaches.
 
That makes sense. I thought beam splitters were just another option, didn't realize it was the only way to shoot at those distances with these types of cameras. Thanks.
 
Also you can make some sort of plywood platform (/w padding) and tie them down so you can have them near bottom to bottom on their sides to get the lens' closer together.
 
I saw some guys in europe doing this stuff, forgot the link, but anyway, how they got the 2 lenses close together was invert the other camera upside down as one side of the 7d is thinner than the handgrip side.

So cool that you're trying this. Everyone starts somewhere right? I haven't started at all with 3D other than still images. Very cool, even though its obviously not technically precise, you do get a sense of the 3D.

Look forward to more experimentation with these cameras.

Scroll down and they have a really cool 3D sample movie for red/cyan glasses.
 
Put one camera butt to the other camera butt then flip the images in post, you'll get the lenses much closer.
 
Thanks for the advice guys. I think i'm gonna try shooting them bottom to bottom and also try the side by side with one of the cameras upside down. Hopefully I can shoot something tomorrow and get it up this weekend.
