The Carnivorous Syndrome in 3D

You will not want to miss Mike Wilder’s fascinating 3D project “The Carnivorous Syndrome in 3D.” This in depth 22 minute nature movie about carnivorous plants takes the audience on travels through Australia, Japan, Venezuela, Africa, and Borneo, while teaching the viewer about the mysterious plants which live there. It is likely that this macro 3D time lapse video is unprecedented. The film also features an incredible electronic soundtrack composed by John Teagle.

Advanced Stereocard Making

There is more to a high quality stereo card than pasting a pair of images on a piece of cardboard. Many people would like to create their own cards to share with friends and family, to enter in stereo exhibitions, or just to enjoy at home. What are the secrets that an experienced card maker can pass on to improve the final product?

In this workshop given in Mesa, Arizona in 2000, David Lee shares many of his techniques, from selecting the paper and adhesive to creating a jig for trimming prints accurately.

Shooting Phantograms Outdoors in Nature

Shooting phantograms indoors is difficult, even with a good digital camera and slidebar. Doing them outdoors on rough, uneven, often hilly terrain with windblown subjects in ever changing lighting and weather conditions is far more challenging, less exact and far less certain to succeed.

This workshop will teach very specifically the techniques I've developed in efficiently shooting phantograms in natural settings outdoors. While it is in no way geared to be a primer on producing phantograms, even a beginner who's interested in getting started n phantograms should benefit.
