Today we adventure into stereo photography with the help of A LOT of friends. Thanks to B&H Creators who collaborated on this video, we were able to hit Boreum Studios in Brooklyn to test out several different forms of 3D film photography. From Polaroids to taped Ilford disposables, we drummed up some unique cameras, used some classic methods, and overall let the creative juices explode for an absolutely HYPE episode for the ages.
There are many people to thank in this video, but first need to give a major thanks to Natt McFee (@nattmcfee) for shooting the proceedings and Mrs. Instant (Lauren) for all of her help as well! Huge props to the B&H team of Sarah, Chloe, Yana, and Oliver for all of their assistance in putting on an awesome event. A very major shoutout to everybody in attendance as well - this was a super fulfilling day of creativity and everyone seriously brought the energy; I love you all!

While Polaroid has protected its brand for 70 years, one company boldly tried to steal some of the thunder with an ill-fated third party release: the Berkey Keystone Wizard Everflash. In this video, I dig into the sequence of events that led to this rare gem somehow hitting the market in the 70s.
