Scene blocking in 3D for closups and positive parallax trap

A mirror box or Beamsplitter 3D Rig is necessary when doing close-up shots or OTS (over the shoulder) and other such narrative scenes in movies. This experiment is to see if there is a workaround and thus if better scene blocking and camera maneuverability can be achieved with small parallel cameras. Admittedly, this is the worst Video Clip of the three Short Chess experiments that were shot. (see the other clips on our youtube channel). I tried to make the hand not break the stereo window on the left, but the point of this video is about something else: Excessive Positive Parallax and Creative Scene Framing: In this clip, the focus of attention is the hand moving the chess piece, There is nothing distracting in the background, just a bland floor. ...So... even though there is excessive positive parallax on the floor, would it hurt viewers eyes? The argument here is, that if there was something of interest to "fuse" say some interesting objects or a pile of books (as seen in the other chess video clips) ...then audiences would automatically gravitate towards trying to "fuse" for example...the book titles. It would be even worse if depth of field was at play and the book titles were slightly out of focus. However, in this scene there is just a bland floor... can such scene framing help in closeup scenes in 3D? the experiments continue.... *** about the Video ***** This video can be seen in 3D by selecting the appropriate 3d viewing option from the menu below the video.
