It contains side-by-side and beamsplitter rigs, both of which exactly mimic their real-world counterparts. FrameForge is so accurate, that it is used by most top stereo 3D companies in the world, including the Sony 3D Tech Center.


  • Discover hands-on what’s possible to do with stereo 3D:
    • Interaxial changes, angulation changes
    • Precise setting of the screen plane
    • Out-of-screen effects cut by the frame, non-stereoscopic depth cues
    • Zooms, stereo 3d dolly zooms... and much, much more!
  • 6 to 8h of progressive, voice-guided exercises to get used to stereo 3D:
    • Assimilate the fundamentals of stereo 3D: 3 basic exercises
    • Compose shots using all the parameters of Stereo 3D: 6 intermediate exercises
    • Find solutions in problematic shooting situations : 10 advanced exercises
    • Breakdown a complex sequence: freestyle exercises
