As I mentioned in yesterday's update, the original left/right elements for COLLEGE CAPERS were destroyed in the 1970s. All that survives today is a very faded anaglyphic release print from 1953. Here's an example of the restoration work that we've been able to do on this severely compromised element.
This is the original raw scan compared to our new restoration.
Here is the same image in discrete 3-D, presented in both parallel and cross-eyed versions.
My guess was APE but that's a total guess.I just found out that the new season of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (currently in the final 28 hours of its Kickstarter campaign) is going to riff a 3-D movie. Anaglyph presumably, as you can order branded glasses via the Kickstarter. I'm curious to see what it is and if there's a 3-D Film Archive connection.
It is riffable, as it were.My guess was APE but that's a total guess.
If you like 3D comics then track down Ray Zone's 3D version of Joe Kubert's "Tor". It's amazing and the longer you look at it the more amazing it gets.I saw one anaglyph movie many many years ago but the best were always the genuine polarised ones.
I did love the crazy anaglyph magazines though ... I had a Mighty Mouse 3d comic when I was young, and, from memory, a Mad Magazine 3d special issue featuring Ray Charles on the cover complete with those red-green glasses. What a great sport as well as a sublime singer .....
"And you know, part of the reason I'm so pleased about this is because old-fashioned anaglyphic 3-D feels like such a big part of the classic cineplex experience, which is a lot of the inspiration between the Gizmoplex."
I never saw a movie in anaglyph 3D at a theatre. They were all polarized glasses.
I think that was my only 3D experience of any kind in theaters until Dreamworks' Monsters vs. Aliens.the tail end of Freddy’s Dead
I saw 2, in the early 2000s: Spy Kids 3-D and The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3-D. Because they predated the mass rollout of digital projection and thus digital 3D, Dimension Films shipped anamorphic prints, which were surprisingly effective, especially for pop-outs. The films themselves are among Robert Rodriguez' lesser efforts and are only partially in 3D. I saw both of these several times, because I was working as a projectionist at the time."And you know, part of the reason I'm so pleased about this is because old-fashioned anaglyphic 3-D feels like such a big part of the classic cineplex experience, which is a lot of the inspiration between the Gizmoplex."

That was a National Lampoon issue. Even many of the ads for stereo equipment were in anaglyph 3-D.

I, too, never saw a movie with red and green glasses during the early 1950s 3D period. But I think I did see one or two that way a few years later."And you know, part of the reason I'm so pleased about this is because old-fashioned anaglyphic 3-D feels like such a big part of the classic cineplex experience, which is a lot of the inspiration between the Gizmoplex."
