When F&V covered Vision III Imaging last summer, company founder Chris Mayhew gave us the details behind his “depth-enhancement” technology, which uses special “parallax scanning” lens adapters to capture depth information and give 2D footage an almost three-dimensional quality. Take a look at our original story for some video examples, and visit the V3 site to see a couple of sample shots from this year’s NFL coverage on CBS. With football season winding down, we followed up by calling Bob Fishman, a five-time Emmy-winning director at CBS Sports who is the first network-sports director to use the camera to see what he thought of the footage he got in basketball and football coverage this year. Fishman said he appreciated the three-dimensional effect, but was more interested in the camera’s ability to keep multiple subjects in focus on the field.
