November Virtual Meeting – 11/19

Due to the worldwide public health emergency, upcoming physical meetings of the LA 3-D Club have been suspended. However, we are holding virtual meetings and we’re still holding our scheduled competitions.

The November virtual meeting of the LA 3-D Club will take place on Thursday, November 19 from 7:00pm – 8:30pm on Zoom at la3d.club.

The meeting will open with a club member “Show-and-Tell.” We would love to see your favorite 3-D image, camera, or collectible. Member’s are encouraged to share an item of interest with the rest of the attendees. We will also take a look at the work of another “3-D Legend” from the 3-DLegends.com website. This month we’ll remember Paul Wing, stereoscopic collector and author of the book “Stereoscopes: The First 100 Years”.

Our guest for the meeting is Harvey Jewett, owner of the lenticular printing company Z-Axis Prints. Harvey will share his insights on preparing 3-D  images for printing, and the services that he offers to convert your stereo pair, depth image, iPhone “portrait mode” image, Facebook 3D post or multi-cam sequence into a Lenticular Print.

The evening will include the second competition of the 2020-2021 LA 3-D Club year. The special theme for this month is SPOOKY/SCARY. Club members may enter their images into the competition by using the UPLOADER which will be available online until 11:59pm on November 13. We will show competition submissions during the meeting and announce results of the competition judging which will take place earlier.

The competition will be judged by people individually at their own homes, rather than in a group setting.  The judges will be able to view the images on a large screen 3D TV, but we can’t completely control the conditions under which judging will occur.  However, entrants can safely assume that judges will be viewing images on a large (>42 inch) 16:9 aspect ratio screen, with a minimum resolution of 1920×1080. So, prepare your images accordingly, and submit them through the uploader as usual.  And, the theme awards will be chosen as usual, too.

Enter an image into the November stereo competition and you’re automatically entered into a drawing to win an  “Art of DreamWorks Animation” book!

Two books will be given away to lucky entrants – One book for the A group and one book for the B group.

Books include: Captain Underpants, Home, Madagascar 3, and Turbo

Good Luck!
