BINOCLE 3D, has long been a dynamic actor in stereoscopic 3D for more than 15 years, providing hardware and crews to shoot many 3D stereoscopic movies and documentaries all over the world, many of which have been rewarded for their outstanding 3D mastering.
Both companies have long been working together on this project, exploring innovative ways of shooting and particularly several stereoscopic 3D projects. The last but not least “3D Live” being dedicated to Live production in S3D for OB work.

The partners have gained field expertise and have encountered all the drawbacks of S3D shooting: Too complicated, too long, too expensive, too much!! These experiences are the result of several efforts which were made to address known pros & cons of stereoscopic 3D shooting: equipment size, weight, handling, set up time, total operating cost, etc.
