Plastigrams

1922 · 9 min

A brief, curious museum piece of early 3D experimentation, more interesting as a technical artifact than as an absorbing watch.

Directed by
Jacob Leventhal, Frederick Eugene Ives
Overview
Experiments with Stereoscopic film. This film was released on 17 December 1922 in the Ives-Leventhal stereoscopic (3D) process. It was re-released on 22 September 1924 in New York City with sound recorded by the DeForest Phonofilm process. The same effect of the Plastigram Glasses can be achieved by inverting a pair of anaglyph 3D glasses, making cyan on the left and red on the right.
