Water balloons comin’ right at ya in 3D, baby, including a guest appearance from the seldom seen Janice Maddy, who not only throws like a girl, but doesn’t even break all of her balloons. Have you even seen a water balloon bounce like a rubber ball? You have, now! I end my manly demonstration with a grand finale of five fast balls and an attempt at breaking glass… the last of which was right in the center of the strike zone. Oh yeah!
On a technical note, I added a top and bottom crop to the floating window in this video, but only the left and right edges are slightly feathered to reduce ghosting at those edges. The farthest visible point was about 20 feet away from the camera, so the camera was placed close to 29 inches away from the nearest point (near the glass), based on proper stereoscopic calculations. Also, I used my global corrections to remove the tad bit of misalignment in my camera.
