3-D NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
I was an animator at Skellington Productions for THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS in the early nineties. Whenever possible, I took the initiative to photograph the amazing setups in 3D stereo. I photographed them with my Nikon stereo rig on Kodachrome slide film. The stereo pairs were digitally scanned and converted to anaglyph format for this presentation. They are a testament to the outstanding artistry of the crew of Skellington Productions. These anaglyph photos require either red/blue or red/cyan 3-D glasses to see the stereoscopic effect. The red lens goes over the left eye. Click on an image to enlarge.
