ALEXA 3D拍摄威廉凯特世纪婚礼

大家都还记得几个月前的那场英国皇家世纪婚礼吧，威廉凯特在露台上的世纪之吻，下面百万人一起起哄说，再来一次，于是，我们看到英国皇家年轻一代顺应民意，再次深深一吻，爽翻了全球20亿双眼球。是的，其实这场婚礼还用3D记录了下来。尽管，我也没看过这3D到底拍的如何，不过，给各位翻译下这篇文章，过过瘾：）

Angénieux Optimo zooms, ARRI Alexa cameras, and Element Technica Quasar Rigs converged on the Royal Wedding in 3D.
As an estimated 2 billion viewers watched the marriage of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, 3 rigs with 6 Angénieux Optimo DP zooms on 6 ARRI Alexa cameras recorded the event in 3D for broadcast on BSkyB in the days that followed.

Three Element Technica Quasar rigs were mounted with 3 pairs ARRI Alexa cameras, 2 pairs of matching 16-42 mm Optimo DPs and 1 pair of matching Angénieux Optimo DP 30-80 mm lenses.

刚才我很悲催的把即将发出的文章给删掉了，全文丢失，所以。哼哼，这次我更简单的翻。

说那么多英文，其实就是说用了6台ALEXA，3对安琴DP变焦镜头，3套ETQ 3D套件，镜头呢，2套16-42的，1套30-80的。是英国天空电视台干的事。

In the side-by-side rig shown at left, I particularly like the nautical navigation colors for left and right lens: red on the left, blue on the right. Well…right should be green, but close enough. It’s a good way to quickly differentiate eyes, and sure beats writing on camera tape. Optimo DP zooms currently come with a choice of interchangeable rubber barrel rings–I can see green in their future.

人家作者特别喜欢镜头上通过颜色来区分左边右边，红左蓝右，他还调皮了下。。。。。这套DP是专门为3D使用贴心设计的。

 

On Sight was the facilities company chosen by Sky to supply the 3D equipment and technical crews for the BSkyB Royal Wedding 3D production. The event was not broadcast in live 3D on April 29, 2011. The 3D material was edited and broadcast beginning Tuesday, May 3.
Robin Broomfield, 3D Operations and Development Manager for Sky said, “We only had three camera positions. The choice of equipment was based on reliability and quality . It was obviously important to have a good archive as ‘future proofed’ as possible.’”

天空电视台的相关负责人表示，只有3个机位，当然要选择牛逼可靠的设备，这么重要的场合，谁也伤不起啊。这话让我觉得这篇文章是ARRI的公关稿了，哈哈

 

Sam Higham, Facility Manager of On Sight, said, “Filming a live event in 3D can be challenging, especially when it has such historical importance as a Royal Wedding.  Because the time taken to change prime lenses would have meant the risk of missing an important moment, we chose 3D-ready Angénieux Optimo DP matched zoom lenses.  The lenses performed brilliantly, allowing the operators to use multiple focal lengths, with the confidence the lenses would track perfectly for 3D. The results were stunning.”
这段话呢，则是DP镜头的公关稿嫌疑（我觉得自己的想法有些阴暗了），现场拍摄的负责人之一觉得这么重要的历史性场合，选择变焦镜头很重要，不然错过一个重要的瞬间，都是非常要命的。所以呢，他们选择DP镜头，这镜头呢，用起来很爽，也很适合3D拍摄。结果呢，不错不错。（我是没见到3D的影片了，估计只有在白金汉宫才有，有木有）
