The Stereographer is an indispensable member of the 3D production team and no 3D production should be without one.

They have mathematical or intuitive knowledge of the 3D process. In particular, the interactive relationship between Convergence, Interaxial and focal length. Often Stereographers use a spreadsheet to determine where an object will appear on the Z Axis given the focal length of lens, distance of object from camera, amount of Camera Convergence, amount of Camera Interaxial and the theatre geometry.

Stereomedia always provides an experienced Stereographer with it's production packages.

• Working with the DoP in prep to help make informed decisions about cameras, lenses, rigs and formats.
• Working with the Director to help make informed decisions regarding blocking and framing.
• Working with the post-production facility to develop a stereoscopic post pipeline that best matches their technology to the process.
• For a feature film, constructing a depth-script that follows the emotion and arc of the characters and story (if your production is into that sort of thing).
• In prep and on set, offering suggestions and information to help create the most appropriate stereoscopic depth for the story.
• On set, working with the VFX Supervisor to account for elements that will be added later in the VFX process.
• On set, making decisions on every shot to best achieve the goal of the depth script while minimizing or completely removing the need for intensive post fixes.
• Guaranteeing the capture of comfortable and effective S3D for the intended final deliverable.
• In post, assist with the depth-grading and finishing process.
