I've search through this thread but I may have missed it.

Maybe Ady has answered this question before but how was the Anaglyphic 3D Jabba Easter egg done?

I'm working on something myself (nothing to do with Star Wars) and it might be a fun way of presenting it along with all the other wonky things I'm throwing in.

I asked a little about it in the ESB:R thread, but it was shortly after Ady's personal tragedy, so I don't know if it went unnoticed because no one cared or if it was just overshadowed by recent events.

Thanks for the response (I would have thanked you earlier but I was away), interesting stuff but not really useful for me because anaglyphic glasses are much cheaper and easier to get hold of than any other option and I was toying with using that method if it's relatively simple rather than anything too cutting edge for me to do and for other people to experience.

sorry, missed this one.

I loaded the footage into after effects and created several copies in the composition. I then rotoscoped certain areas on each layer to represent object at certain distances. Many times an object/character would have a few depth layers if closer to the camera to give their form the 3D effect. Then i applied a filter ( sorry can't remember which one but it separated red/green). Working from the bottom layer, which is the background, i applied the filter heavily, and slightly less for each layer working up to the top layer when the filter was hardly applied. If an object walked away from the camera then i had to duplicate the mask on some of the other layers. The first layer had the mask at 100% while the others set to 0% and as the character/object moved away from the camera the first mask layer was faded out while the next layer was faded in and so on. I wore the 3D glasses while i worked on it so i could see if i was getting the desired effect and tweaked it if necessary. It took about a month just to do the Jabba scene so i will never be doing a whole film in 3D.
