VIMEO | The Stereo 3D Channel

With daily updates, tests and completed live action and animated films, tutorials and more, The Stereo 3D Channel is home for all things stereoscopic on Vimeo.

In addition to watching the different films and works posted, the channel page offers links to external sites around the same theme, including a link to free 3D glasses.

The goal of The Stereo 3D Channel to showcase independent 3D films and to connect 3D filmmakers so we can learn from each other how to make 3D films well.

(Thanks Michelle!)

LIGHT PAINTING | With iPads

Unlike any light painting we’ve seen so far!

Using specific movies playing on the surface of the iPad and moving it through exposures taken in dark environments, Dentsu London created this stop-frame animation. Different exposures and different movies combined the extruding 3D light forms to make this iPad light painting, Making Future Magic. If this doesn’t make sense, the intro of the video will.

THE GIRL EFFECT | The Clock is Ticking

Created by The Nike Foundation, The Girl Effect is an online movement empowering girls all over the world, spreading the basic facts: “Adolescent girls are capable of raising the standard of living in the developing world. Girls are the most likely agents of change, but they are often invisible to their societies and to our media.”

Watch their new powerful video, The Clock is Ticking.  The design and execution for both the animation and the website are great. We love the message and the package it comes in.

Take a look around and spread the word! www.thegirleffect.org
