Assignment #4 - 3-D Photography

Please hand in this sheet with your work in a protective envelope.

Assignment Description:
Make one or more 3-D stereo cards, prints, slides, reels, projections, or digital displays. If you decide to make a card, a stereoscope or 3-D glasses will be provided by the instructor. Otherwise, bring your own stereo viewing system to the critique.

Related Reading Assignment:
Like A Razor To A Razor Blade Company: technology, profit and the friendly user at the cutting edge by Jim Pomeroy, Afterimage, Volume 11, Number 9 / April 1984.

Assignment Objective:
The student will come away from this assignment having had exposure to a number of techniques for making 3-D photographs including: anaglyph, polarized projections, and systems requiring a stereoscope or other specialized viewers. We will venture to understand the ubiquity and limitations of 3-D photography. Visual discourses including popular and club culture, and contemporary art, will be explored.

Suggestions:
Stay more than armslength away from your closest subject.
Use deep depth of field.
If using a sliding bar, use a tripod.
Take pictures that make sense in 3-D, that is to say, layer subject matter at various distances from the camera. The form of the work and the content should work together.

Evaluation Criteria:
Craftsmanship
Aesthetic / Conceptual refinement (accomplishes assignment description and meets objective)
Risk and playfulness
