Following the methods described by Sean Gleeson on the Swell 3D blog as well as some of the pointers given by comments left on the “Turn 2D Painting into 3D Anaglyph With Depth Map” post, I came up with this image of the Foo Fighters from a concert they did in Melbourne last year.

Grab those anaglyph glasses and have a look. I’m pleased with the results. In my next test I’ll try a smooth gradient on the crowd instead of the stair-step technique I used here.

What do you think?

We took a trip out to Vegas to visit DTS at CES where we were able to see our three commercial spots featured prominently.

Each spot was given its very own display area!

UltraPC

Broadcast

At the Broadcast display they also turned some of our animation into print materials…

Car Audio was also on display…

DTS also put together a 15-minute presentation that showed off several of their technologies, including the brand new 11.1 audio format. For their demo of UltraPC they chose to use our UltraPC spot. Each viewer had their own pair of headphones that they were able to use for the UltraPC demo. It’s an amazing technology - two speaker or headphones truly sounds like full surround sound. Here’s a group of audio professionals and journalists watching the demo.

CES is always an amazing show that features great new technologies. DotLot was proud to be part of it.

Here’s one more cool shot. The video for this Kodak display was shot entirely on the DotLot green screen stage in Irvine.

For even more on CES, see this Buddy Blog post on the conference.

You may remember that a few months back DotLot™ rented both its stages out to Visionlogic for a music video shoot featuring the Luminaries. Their new video has been released and besides being a super catchy song, it also shows off the versatility of DotLot Digital Studios really well.

If you need a great place to shoot a video or you just want some peace, then give us a call or send an email to dotlot [at] thebuddygroup [dot] com.

We had a lot of fun making this next commercial. At one point, the earliest concept even included a ninja, but that part of the concept got axed due to time constraints. What we ended up with was an awesome little spot that features a wily granny in spandex. Nothing wrong with that!

Be sure to watch it in HD on YouTube!

This commercial was made to promote the integrated car audio systems that DTS has available through several different auto manufacturers. We shot multiple locations in and around Orange County.

Special thanks to all the cast and crew who worked their butts off on one very long production day.

Be sure to watch it in HD on YouTube!

Hey, Friends. 

During Q4 last year we produced 3 commercials for DTS in order to help them promote several of their new consumer audio technologies. I’ll be posting them over the next few days. Here’s the first one, which covers their broadcast audio technologies.

You can also watch this video over at our YouTube Channel.

DotLot™ is ready for a brand new year of digital video engagement. We’re already working on some great projects for Western Digital, Fisker and 6 Hour Power. 

Also in the works for the next few months is a continuation of our work with creating stereoscopic videos for interactive websites. We’re working on ideas for a currently top secret website project. More on that in the next few months. 

In case you’re going to be in Las Vegas this week, look for us at CES. We’ll be visiting the DTS booth where the three commercials we produced during Q4 last year will be on display in full DTS surround sound glory.
