Day#1:
A Taste of Stereoscopy and Hands On a 3D Rig

You will get a solid overview of what a 3D production entails, experience a 3D film and learn how it was made. This taster session is for people who are interested in 3D but haven't yet decided to start. Learn what it means to shoot and produce in 3D. After the workshop you should have the information you need to confidently answer the question, "Do I want to start a 3D production?"

Day#2:
Shooting Good 3D

For those interesting in learning 3D shooting and recording technique. Learn in detail how 3D works and how to shoot good 3D without putting a strain on the viewer's eye. You'll learn how to operate the 3D Rig and how to influence the 3D effect by means of the 3D Rig.

Day#3:
Producing a 3D Film From Recording to Displaying

For producers, DPs and camera assistants. Learn the entire workflow from recording through post production and displaying the material -- how 3D works, how good 3D is made and how to operate the 3D Rig. Learn the most important facts that make 3D post production stand out from normal 2D post production.
