See how 3D shots are created and why the 3D camera can change how the audience views the objects in the scene. There are many tools that are used in 3D, we'll review the 3D toolbox.
The primary goal when establishing the 3D camera for La Luna was to invite the audience into the world of La Luna. In the real world, which we all live, an object that is closer to the viewer is relatively bigger in view, while the same object seen from far away will be relatively smaller in view. The 3D camera in La Luna was created with the real world in mind. Each shot was painstakingly reviewed to determine the optimum placement of the objects in the 3D frustum. Poor placement in the 3D frustum can result in objects appearing to change scale from shot to shot.
