Heres a video of 3D test shoot with 2 iPhones and the Almost DSLR app for manual camera controls. Cameras were mounted vertically to get the IA under 2″. View this video with red/cyan 3D glasses.
We wanted to see how effectively 3D video could be shot with iPhones for an upcoming music video project. From this test we learned static shots on full manual work best, and any geometric corrections on moving shots would need to be keyframed. iPhone footage gets all compressy on camera pans and wobbly on handheld. Not always noticable in 2D, this creates all sorts of misalignment in 3D since they don’t compress/wobble in sync. Magic hour lighting also created too much contrast, which makes for more crosstalk. I’m curious to see how the new wave of mobile devices with twin lenses will handle these issues.
