Blue Futures

BLUE FUTURES

Our oceans are not only places of natural beauty.

They provide us with food and oxygen and their coral reefs protect our coastlines from high energy waves.

But dare we imagine a future in which a growing world population lives compatibly with these fragile marine ecosystems?

Protecting rather than damaging them?

Thankfully the answer is yes.

Progress is being made at local and international levels by people who believe that we can create a better tomorrow.

Our understanding of the challenges our oceans face is growing; the technology to overcome them is developing; and new models of business, in which those solutions can thrive, are emerging.

Clément Pourtal and Benjamin Marais are embarking on a 2 year journey around the world to witness these solutions first hand.

Supported by an expert team of scientists and filmmakers, they will be sharing their findings on social media with daily news and updates, short interviews, videos and high impact pictures.

Virtual Reality (VR)

A generic term to describe immersive experiences of multimedia that recreate a Virtual environment which is presented to our senses in a way that allow us to interact in that different Reality.

That new Virtual Reality can be originated and presented in various ways as follows;

360° video recordings of a real-world scene, where the view in every direction is recorded at the same time. During playback the viewer has control of the viewing direction. Documentaries, music videos, etc are examples of this category.

Computer-generated VR (CG VR)

Opposite to filming the real world on 360º video, CG VR is an immersive experience created entirely from computer-generated content. Games and simulators are examples of this.

Augmented Reality (AR)

A live view of a physical, real-world environment enhanced by adding computer-generated content such graphics, sounds, videos or GPS data. Seen on commercial and marketing applications but also on sports, education, etc.

All these immersive experiences are individually a speciality on their own right but the possibilities of cleverly blending 360° video, CG and AR in applications as diverse as the worlds of entertainment, medicine, the arts, etc are endless.

VIVA3DFILMS in partnership with Oceanica Prod and Blue Finance are currently working on a multimedia project on marine conservation called Blue Futures.

Enjoy Virtual Reality.

About

At VIVA3DFILMS™ we’re positioning ourselves at the forefront of a new digital revolution. We’d like to think of ourselves as visionaries, we believe in 3D. We’re creative and passionate filmmakers and we like to experiment and discover. The rapid developments we’re witnessing in the last few years in the realm of 3D are vertiginous. Filming, editing and projecting are all digitally produced.

It’s thanks to today’s digital technology that shooting in 3D is becoming a reality to stay. Never before was it as practical to acquire the dual footage required to produce 3D. More importantly, we believe that to produce compelling 3D content with good storytelling is fundamental to reach audiences and to entice them to watch more 3D films.

3D

3D - S3D - CG3D
The S in S3D is actually redundant because Stereo means ‘Solid’ i.e. 3D but it’s generally used to differentiate the computer generated 3D and the 3D achieved by shooting with two cameras or lenses. 

How it works
To produce 3D we shoot with two cameras plus 1 rig, or 1 camera with two lenses, the different points of view between the right eye and the left eye are used to recreate the depth. To do that, we shoot with two synchronized cameras, then we send the image from the left camera to the left eye, and the image from the right camera to the right eye. There are two crucial factors when shooting 3D: the interaxial, which is the distance between the centre of the lenses of the two cameras, and the convergence, which is the angle at which we position one camera with respect to the other one.

To hold and align the cameras, we use a 3D-Rig. There are two main types of 3D-rigs:
- The side-by-side rig, where the cameras are sitting, obviously, side by side. This kind of 3D-rig allows large interaxials, but not small interaxials (because of the physical size of the cameras). This is mostly useful for large landscape shots.
- The mirror rig, or beamsplitter rig. One camera films through a semi-transparent mirror, and the other films the reflection in the mirror. These rigs allow small and medium interaxials, useful for most shots.
Cameras must be accurately aligned, must have exactly the same brightness and color. They must be perfectly in sync, frame-wise and even scan-wise (an external sync box, plugged in to the Genlock inputs from the cameras, and is very often used to do just that).

How to watch 3D?
We have to use glasses for at least first generation 3D TV screens. The screens that don’t need glasses do exist -they’re called autostereoscopic screens- are still expensive and still have room for improvement. Having said that, look around you there are already a growing cadre of products, from TV screens to personal computers, cameras, telephones, video games, that use existing technology, which still works quite well for the moment.
