Stereographer

The stereograph acts as an additional member on the set of a 3D film, he supervised the production and staged the 3D effect of the movie. He designed together and on par with cameraman and director, the stereoscopic 3D image. Besides the name stereograph, there are also occasional spelling stereo Count or the English name Stereographer.

Tasks of the stereo graph

The stereograph bears the artistic responsibility for the three-dimensional design of the film. Depending on the requirements of the planned setting it gives the distance between the two cameras of a 3D system in front of each other and is thus responsible for the image geometry.

In addition, he contributes with his assistant, the Rig Tech, the responsibility for the precise adjustment of the cameras to each other, which is in the 3D film of central importance. In addition, it occurs in many departments, such as mask and equipment, advice in action, to draw attention to the specifics of the 3D film in contrast to the 2D film.

In general, the responsibilities of the stereo graph pulls well into the post-production. So he can take the so-called depth grading once more to the effect of the 3D image influence and determine the connections between the individual scenes.

Means of determining the focal length, the 3D Vertigo effect and Outscreen effects, the stereograph affect the 3D effect of the individual scenes.

The importance of the stereo graph

Even with some representatives of the film industry, the profession of stereo graphs is still unknown. This is due to the fact that the profession is still relatively young and only in the division of the 3D movie, in general, much ignorance in the film industry exists which is important.

Nevertheless, there is the importance that has the stereograph in making a 3D film, gradually more recognition. Thus, the stereograph is called in many productions in the main credits and even on movie posters, indicating the importance of the stereo graph in the development of the 3D film as a work of art.

" The Stereographie has evolved in recent years from an initially purely technical to a technical and content-related profession, because ultimately technical decisions have an impact on the content. " Pina " by Wim Wenders would be inconceivable without the stereo graph Alain Derobe who made this film. "
