I came across this article, where someone experimented with creating stereoscopic images on a scanner. If you don’t know what stereoscopy is, read here.
A man in Germany named Richard Schubert figured out how to create these with real objects, using a 35mm slide scanner. There are some images included in this English interpretation of his work. Take a look… it’s super cool!
If you think about it, it’s not too suprising that the unforgettable James Bond movie title sequences were inspired by a 35mm slide projector. The producers consulted with a designer who whipped up the idea and presented it to them with twenty or so random slides, and he went in front of the projection and showed how interesting it looked to have the images become convoluted and wrapped around the shape of his torso. Obviously, they bought into the idea, and the iconic concept was born.
So, although many of the Bond movies are seriously dated, with that blue eye shadow and knee-high boots, it’s a good thing 35mm slide scanners had not yet been invented, or we wouldn’t have such awesome James Bond title sequences to mimic! Click here for the original article from Telegraph.uk.co.
