This is a redo of my last video with an additional temporal up-sampling to hopefully force the illusion of the Poison Oak getting closer.
Do you think I can introduce more negative parallax and up-sampling than this, and get away with it?

Here’s a perfectly cubic stereoscopic image of Poison Oak, and I know Janice Maddy doesn’t want me to touch her nose with it, but she might want to put on a pair of rubber gloves and reach out and touch it.
In order to do this, we have to reduce the potential for ghosting, and make a nice, smooth temporal transition when bringing the Poison Oak way out off the screen, so Janice can easily follow it with her eyes and reach out and touch it.

High upon a ridge between home and where Janice Maddy works, I am looking for a bicycle shortcut.
Lots of steep switchbacks and hundreds of feet of elevation change make it a poor choice for a bike route, but it sure is a good spot to shoot 3D pictures and videos.
During the first half of the video, I am facing north towards home, and in the second half, I had walked a few hundred feet over to the other side of the ridge, facing south.

In this Pasadena Steadicam Competition, anyone who takes longer than 1 hour to edit their entry will be disqualified.
I was using my $20 Steadicam made from pipes and a 2.5 lb weight, and Jim Carbonetti was using his professional, extremely expensive Steadicam that he uses to shoot Hollywood movies and chicks in bikinis at the beaches in southern California.
I also used my 1/30 Net Stereoscopic Deviation gag in this quick and dirty composition, where one shot defines the near point, another shot defines the far point,
and the other two are just anything goes, run and gun shots, all combined to produce a consistent, perfectly cubic illusion with close to 1/30 (3.33%) “NetD”.
Zeroing in on my target audience, this video was created specifically for Janice Maddy at work, so she can check the quality of her Dubois anaglyph viewing method
in the YouTube stereoscopic 3D media player.

Here’s the poison oak in Bonelli Park in San Dimas, California that got on Janice’s face. I went back yesterday and shot this stereoscopic photo of it.
12 days later, she still looks like one side of her face caught on fire and the other side had to go over and put it out.
Serious business, baby!
My question to you is how did she get it on her face? We were running down the middle of the wide trail, many feet away from the shrubs.
