DTCD3D Technical Fun!

Well, it was a long and arduous Friday the 13th weekend, but we managed to complete the third and final chapter in the Downtown Crackdown series! Some of the stuff that went down this past weekend:

- We used two cameras side by side in order to achieve the 3D effect for the movie, once edited. However, midway through filming, we realized the zoom levels were off for many of the scenes we shot on Saturday, sending us scrambling to reshoot a few scenes. Unfortunately, a few cast members had already left, and their parts were subsequently cut due to this error.

- When we finally compiled the scenes we wanted to use altogether, the running movie time was well over 8 minutes. Since 48HFP rules call for a 7 minute maximum, we had to cut a lot in order to get in back under the limit.

- After the film was submitted, we later realized the blue and red 3D channels were switched during editing. When viewed with the blue and red 3D glasses, the color of the lens should correspond to the color of the channels, otherwise it throws the effect off. Due to this, we had to turn all the 3D glasses inside out before the premiere!
