Tom goes 3D
Recently it seems there has been a resurgence of all things 3D, as Hollywood pumps out a record number of new films featuring this technique.
Now I too have been taken on a 3D ride of sorts, after completing my first 3D shoot on behalf of Softmotion, a company based out of Montreal Canada. We shot a beautiful custom Harley Davidson Softail in studio and then using one of my stock location images created a 3D version for online promotions as well as capturing additional images to be used in a final Lenticular display.
The capture of the 3D Lenticular image involved shooting up to 140 images, then a selection of these are composed via Softmotions computer genius, Patrice to create the illusion of the bike coming out of the Lenticular display as you walk pass.
The online version is a little less complicated to achieve with the viewer requiring those wacky 3d glasses to view the result, which by the way is very effective, as it really does seem like the rider is coming out of the screen and riding over your keyboard.
Both Guy Brisson the president of Softmotion and myself are looking forward to collaborating on many more future projects after the successful coming together of talents on this shoot.
Of course I couldn't let the bike out of my hands without taking it for a spin around the block a few times... here's a quick pick of me coming back in with the bike – a big thank you to James (owner in last frame) for trusting me with your sweet ride.
