The fact is, that you cannot truly experience an autostereoscopic "no-glasses" video unless you are viewing it on an autostereoscopic monitor. So, it's really hard to sell an A3D video when just showing the video as 2D. That being said, here are 3 recently produced A3D videos (in 2D of course!) made by me for APCO AudioVisual. If you were viewing these videos on an A3D monitor, the objects would truly look as if they are floating in front of the monitor!

3D Technology Means New Rules for Directors.
[WORK IN PROGRESS]
[by BH]
[LAST UPDATE: 06-23-2009]
When you visualize a scene for a traditional 2D Video, you can use storyboards(*1) and apply unlimited creative use of cameras, lighting, framing the shot and more.
When you visualize a scene for a 3D movie, the enitre process changes.
Their are 4 different types of 3D movies - each of which is unique and must be handled differently in terms of creative visualization. Here are my personal classifications:
1. A 2D movie which is created from a 3D environment. This applies to CG animated movies such as Wall-E, Shrek or Finding Nemo. Many times, people will call these movies 3D, but in fact they are only 2D exports from 3d environments.
2. A 2D IMAX movie created from a 3D environment. These are very similar to #1, but when placing the scene's assets on the x,y,z plane, you have more spatial, peripheral freedom.
3. An autostereoscopic 3D movie. This type of 3D is characterized by having a limited amount of depth to work with during the creative process.
4. A stereoscopic 3D movie. You need 3D glasses for this kind. Anaglyph are the red-green glasses; polarized are tinted and are the kind you would find at Disney or Universal. You have almost unlimited use of depth in this type of 3D.

3D Article - No-Glasses 3D Display
Here's a new article about 3D Displays out of England:
http://www.laptopshop.co.uk/news/2009/06/you-dont-need-geeky-glasses-to-watch-3d/
The language they use to describe the technology is vague, but wotrth a read.
