STEREO CINEMATOGRAPHY
A COURSE of Study on Stereo Cinematography will commence at Ealing Studios on Monday, November 2, 1953.
Six lectures will cover such subjects as stereoscopic vision, the basic principles of stereoscopic photography, stereoscopic projection, the geometry of stereoscopy, studio practices and special effects with stereoscopy.
Each lecturer is a specialist in his particular subject and the syllabus has been designed to include the many factors which must be understood by those seeking proficiency in this important technique.
Professor Wright, of the Imperial College of Science and Technology, an eminent authority on the physical aspects of stereoscopic vision, will give the first two lectures in which will be included the principles of stereoscopic photography.
The lecture on stereoscopic projection will be given by Mr. H. Dewhurst of the Telecommunications Research Establishment. Comparatively few technicians have had the opportunity to gain experience in this subject and it is indeed fortunate to have secured Mr. Dewhurst among the lecturers to the Course.
The remaining lecturers, Messrs. Nigel Spottiswoode, R. J. Spottiswoode and Charles W. Smith, who will speak on the geometry of stereoscopy, studio practices and special effects with stereoscopy respectively, are authorities in their particular fields. Those enrolling in the course will benefit greatly from the considerable experience of these pioneers in threedimensional techniques.
The course will be of particular interest to studio personnel and to these and any others who may be interested, a request is made for early enrolment. Details are available from the Secretary.
