P3D Viewmaster Reels

[Gecko <gecko@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Is anyone on this list contracted to photograph or converge images for
current viewmaster reels?

Every so often I see new viewmaster reels being sold, some are
"cartoons", some are "minature sets", and others are a mixture of
"minature sets with cartoon characters".

Most of new ones I've seen are Disney or Muppets.

Does Viewmaster (or Tyco, I think now) hire a professional 3D
photographer to photograph the
filming of a movie ("101 Dalmations", "Muppet Treasure Island" or "Toy
Story") to be used for a 3-reel set?

Or do they have they're own miniture set-makers and photographers?

It's one thing if they do "2d-3d conversions"(layers), but like "Toy
Story", if you look at those reels, they looked like they were
photographed "on the set"- meaning they're not "2d-3d" conversions, all
characters are rounded and have depth as though they were really
photographed in 3D.

Quite impressive. :)
