Topic: Tips for good macro (close up) stereoscopic photography and imaging

Shot with my two old Sony TRV-140 camcorders, “just as” seen in this video.

My “Macro mode” for this video:
Stereo Base = 2 1/4 inches
Zoom = close to 15x
Distance to Subject = about 3 feet
Toe-in = “just enough”
Editing Process = same as always (Adobe After Effects or Stereo Movie Maker)
