2013 01 10 - In trying to do 3D photography and videography the same way I'd do it in 2D - just point and shoot. Composition of the scene and being aware of the constraints of the camera happens before I take the shot. I'm not aligning left and right or warping to fix pincushions or any of that. Just as I don't worry lens distortion in 2D photos. 

It is what is. 

It's 3D.

Shot with my LG 3D Max phone. I probably should have restarted it first and put it in airplane mode to stop the 'jittering' as the video camera competes with other processes to read/ write to the sdcard in the phone.  After 2-3 days of running without a re-boot, the video can be a little choppy. Nothing to do with 3D. "Flat" cameras do the same on other phones.

I also should have used the "Center" 3D focusing option. The default "Border" setting can see the centre of interest out of focus (mis-aligned) while the edges look great. But I'm not looking at the edges,
