I could not for the life of me find a copy of TV Guide in any store I went to, and missed out on the 3D airing of Medium. I did TiVo it however. I’d love to get ahold of a set of them thar 3D glasses, since I’m a sucker for 3D movin pictures.
So, I need the glasses that you have, in order to get my 3D fix. I’d gladly mail you a casserole in exchange, but I can’t cook and I hear that they mail poorly. Maybe I could mail you something cool from, oh wait, I live in Columbus Ohio, there’s not much cool here.
My email is my screen name at yahoo dot com. I might have something you might like, guess that depends on what you like though. Thanks in advance.
WHat kind of 3D glasses are they? If they’re just the ones with the red and blue gels, you cn make them. ISTR using another kind that used grey lenses. Polarised? I don’t remember. But most of the 3D glasses I see use the blue and red gels.
Around here, they were bundled with the weekend edition of The Globe & Mail, which would have been fine, except that there are apparently many more folks eager to see Patricia Arquette in 3D than usually pick up the Globe. The weekend edition was impossible to find after 11:00am Saturday morning. (You can usually still get copies Sunday evening.)
So not only did I miss out on Medium (for now) and get some more badly needed 3D glasses, my weekend coffee ritual was seriously compromised.
Polarised is right, but I suppose these would have to be the red/blue kind – I can’t imagine how you could separately polarise two parts of a TV image.
That’s what I was thinking. I understand polarisation when filmmaking or in photography, but I’ve never really thought about how it would be used to make a 3D image.
It’s the same principle as with red/blue glasses – the left and right lenses are polarised in different orientations, and the two separate images (one for each eye) are projected onto the screen through polarised filters of the matching orientation.
That’s what I thought. I think the only time I’ve seen this type of film was at Disneyland, and that was several years ago. With the red/blue 3D films it’s easy to see the images without the glasses; but I don’t remember how the polarised image looked without them.
The red/green-blue glasses are called anaglyphic, and most TV 3D effects use them (another method uses a slight phase shift between left and right eye, and it’s never worked for me. They used it at a SuperBowl show several years back). Although some anaglyphic 3D works very well, last night’s [N]Medium** was not such a case. The colors weren’t well-matched to the giveaway glasses, or to any of the other 3D glasses I have.
