3D - 2

How does one shoot stereoscopic 3D the right way?

I'm planning on setting up a side by side camera rig to shoot 3D, but I'm unsure as to whether the cameras are supposed to remain static when you are shooting objects at different distances, or when you move the camera closer/farther from an object. Are the cameras supposed to converge like your eyes do, or do you just keep the cameras the way they are?

1. The BEST advice is to just experiment. The difference between the cameras should only be slight.
2. stereoscopic 3D http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy http://www.stereoscopy.com/ would suggest pin pointing subjects like eyes peripheral, if you have subject at center of room 5/ 10 feet, per say then both cameras would cross at that axis , then items closer would create distance. and same with items farther away , anything really close would be better with axis at center, once you have image further away 100 / 200 feet, then differences would be less noticeable, if cameras are at same distance apart, having background that has pattern, synchronizes with alternate perspectives, helps create 3d effect, you could use two cameras in parallel view points, for average photos to compare with, ..
