The five 3D A/V pieces below all use 3D-HD video recorded on a Sony portable videocam from between 2013 to the present. All of the video is processed in anaglyph which requires red-cyan glasses to view the stereoscopic effect. Because of the heavy video-processing used in many of these videos, the anaglyph format, which sandwiches the left and right images into a single frame, requires less CPU power than with polarizing 3D or other formats which maintain two distinct left-right frames. Clear, crisp color balance suffers to some extent using anaglyph 3D. This process will evolve with more powerful, cheaper CPU horsepower. Enthusiasm for 3D waxes and wanes, but the goal of much of this work is to migrate up to a virtual-reality platform continuing to use 3D-HD video and 5.1 surround audio recordings but swapping the iPhone motion-sensing of two iPhones with that of VR headset technology. Stay tuned.
Zoom Raj
3D-HD video from car ride through Rajasthan, India. Audio is self-generating from audio sample clips which trigger some video edits and effects as the piece plays continuously. Similar to Automatic Music 1 & 2 on the Audio page, the music and video here is controlled by random generators as well as LFO curves with no human intervention. Needs red/cyan glasses to view anaglyph 3D video and maybe best to watch this in short doses if you have issues with strobe effects.
Wet Lands
3D-HD video of boat ride through flooded field in Cuiabá, in Brazil's Pantanal with audio from the processing of ambient field recordings taken from various places between 2010 and 2015. As always, both audio and video processing is controlled by motion-sensing and is improvised live with no studio effects added.
Aya
5.1 surround audio from outside my cabin in Sacha Runa camp in Rurrenabaque, Bolivia with 3D-HD video recording from Cuiabá, in Brazil. The 3D effect here is perhaps less in the spatial but more in the chromatic color area.
Merry Raj
3D-HD video of a merry-go-round from a local fair in Rajasthan, India. Audio is created from a touch-sensitive iPad controlled 4-track virtual synthesizer with simultaneous audio processing. All audio and video processing is done live with no post-production enhancements. Watch this with red-cyan glasses, but in sort doses.
Glow in the Dark
3D-HD video (with 3 video layers) of a taxi ride through streets of Kolkata on the way to pick up my rudra veena. Audio is entirely sample-based using foley sound effects, a Moroccan drum sample and various voice samples from recent American history.
