3-D STOP-MOTION ANIMATION
I photographed these images when I
worked with director
John Clark Matthews as a stop-motion animator.
Stop-motion movies are perfect subjects for stereo photography. The
films were based on the popular children's books FROG AND TOAD
TOGETHER, RUNAWAY RALPH, MORRIS GOES TO SCHOOL, STANLEY AND THE
DINOSAURS, RALPH S. MOUSE, and UNCLE ELEPHANT. All the pictures
were shot with either my Nikon stereo rig or Nimslo camera. The
stereo slide pairs were then converted to anaglyph format for this
presentation. These anaglyph photos require either red/blue or
red/cyan glasses to see the stereoscopic effect. The red lens goes
over the left eye. Click on an image to enlarge.
