I was scouring local photographers’ websites for links to cake bakers and florists when I stumbled across this bride’s fantastic idea. Basically they wanted “an old school silent film made out of stills to show to their guests. In 3D.” I think that this photograph of their guests is priceless in and of itself.

It’s certainly no Captain EO (think Michael Jackson, 3D in Disneyland, circa 1990), and while the images probably don’t give you that jolt as characters seemingly appear 2 inches from your face, no doubt thanks to the mysterious properties of brown 3D glasses, (why didn’t the 3D concept ever take off?), the inclusion of this lost art in a retro wedding is fantastic.

I also love that Blue Olive touched on the logistics behind the making of the video:

“these aren’t photoshop effects, many of the images were shot on a 40 year old stereo camera that didn’t have much more than a shutter for controls, and the rest with a rigged up digital system that allowed us to take 2 simultaneous photos apx. 65mm apart, which is about the width of our eyes), and we put our video hats on from our independent film days to pull together the final cut. It’s perfectly imperfect - exactly what we set out to do.”

Kudos to the folks at Blue Olive Photography for pulling it off. Click here to view the video.
