LENGTH: 3 minutes

CONCEPT: Promotional video of pilot presentation of a new children's show, "The Stone Balloon". Live-action characters, puppets and interesting concepts.

What's a "stone balloon"? The fact that the term doesn't make sense is the whole point of the name. Everyone knows that a stone balloon can't exist, except in someone's imagination. In this case it is the imagination of Martha Lewis Lambert, creator of "The Stone Balloon" a multimedia children’s television show, "Where the impossible becomes possible." Producers of the show think this will help to reshape, perhaps even revolutionize children’s edutainment offerings of the future. Director Jim Marino asked Stereomedia to photograph certain scenes of the show in 3D, as well as 3 minute "teaser" which features all of the main characters, to draw attention to the overall potential of the series. This promo was used to get attention at the "Home Video Show, in Las Vegas. The 3D camera was mounted on a small camera crane for maximum access to the elaborate set.

PRESENTATION: Standard television monitors and VCR's were used to present this promotional video in Stereo3D. This method was chosen because it's ultimate destination is home computers and television.
