We are happy to have a 3D Movie Night again at the end of this semester: On July 10th, 7:30 pm, we are going to show The Adventures of Tintin in stereoscopic 3D, as you liked it. (3D-Lab, R4.07; please be on time.) – No fee, popcorn free!

As Scully found out, in April 2012, a consumer protection related petition was presented to the German Bundestag concerning a uniform marking duty for converted 3D movies. Believe it or not: although it’s too late now for signing petition no. 23931, you still may watch the discussion online.
Unbelievable: the last day of FMX has broken – and also unbelievable today was not only the measured outside temperature of 34°, but also the felt temperature inside of at least 55° … nonetheless, as you can see, we always stayed turned on three-dimensionally:
Last Day of FMX in Stuttgart ...
Today, we paid a visit to our partners from New Zealand in the afternoon. The photograph shows both, the staff of the Auckland Media Design School and the 3D-Lab crew of the Berliner Technische Kunsthochschule, as well – Lukas, Kim, Sergej, Kevin, Kyle, and Racheal:
Berlin Meets Auckland in Stuttgart ... at FMX 2012
Our second day at the 17th Conference on Animation, Effects, Games and Transmedia, FMX, in Stuttgart again was full and even hotter than the day before, although we had a fan working at highest level all the time. – Not only did we met the really charming folks of our sister Media Design School New Zealand, but also did a little alumni with Fabian who joined us at our booth:
Day 2 at FMX 2012 in Stuttgart ...
After a very long, very very hot day at FMX in Stuttgart, the somewhat exhausted but highly inspired small crew of the BTK::3D-Lab got together for a quick 3D foto shooting, just before the three of them went over to the opening of the International Trick Film Festival (ITFS) in the evening:
Day 1 at FMX 2012 in Stuttgart ...
Like the year before, a small crew of the BTK::3D-Lab again will represent our school at the School Campus during FMX 2012, the most important Conference on Animation, Effects, Games and Interactive Media, which will take place from 8th to 11th of May in Stuttgart:
80 years ago, in the silent film era, filming each scene with two movie cameras was a customary technique; due to this, the classic The Phantom of the Opera was actually unintentionally shot in stereoscopic 3D format! – Making this interesting discovery in 2010, filmmaker and author Carl Hernz did a restoration and reconstruction of the stereoscopic views accidentally created by that unexpected twist of fate, and in April 2012, the movie is going to make its first public screening in 3D, and will then be featured in several film festivals in the U.S. and other countries before its major release on October 31, 2012.
3net, 3D network and 3D television production studio, along with their joint venture partners, recently released a comprehensive 3D Production Guide. Authored by Bert Collins, Josh Derby, Bruce Dobrin, Don Eklund, Buzz Hays, Jim Houston, George Joblove, and Spencer Stephens, the 50-page illustrated manual is now freely available to all of us, outlining in detail all of the facets involved in creating top-quality 3D content for television, from initial workflow planning, to production, post production, stereographic correction and final delivery. Moreover, it will be constantly updated as the dynamics of 3D television production continue to evolve …
With Firefox #11, a Page Inspector will show the structure of a website in “3D” thus making deep page nestings slightly recognizable; however, the same function was available already before due to a Firefox extension.
