  • Why you want to take our 3D workshop Written by Marty Meyer

    Love it  or hate it - 3D is going to be with us for awhile. Panasonic is selling their AG-3D1A camcorder like crazy. You may wish you could snub it, but, realistically, there is business to be had here.  This particular camera seems to fit nicely into todays economic climate.We're hosting workshops in cities across the nation; New York, Washington DC and Los Angeles among them. Our lead instructors are the intrepid Barry Braverman, world traveling photographer and author, and Geoff Boyle, stereographer, cinematographer and founder of the CML, AKA the Cinematographers Mailing List which hosts a running conversation for DP's, et. al. Geoff's cinematography credits include 2 and 3D commercials and films, such as The Mutant Chronicles (UK), The Dark Country 3D (Albuquerque), Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (Bangkok) and Wallander (Sweden).Join one of our workshops and find out how 3D technology can be accessible and affordable.  createasphere.com/education/3D.
