"World War I in 3D", designed by the Center for Civil War Photography, opens on September 4, 2009 at the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum (SCCRRMM) in Columbia. The twenty-minute 3D show features over eighty stereographs and gives viewers a great display of post-Civil War 3D photography. Stereoviews remained popular after the Civil War, and World War I was extensively photographed in 3D.
CCWP Director of Imaging John Richter selected the views from SCCRRMM’s 300 card Keystone World War I set for the show. Richter explains, "The views were selected not only for content but for a strong 3D effect." Richter scanned the views, touched them up, changed them into anagylphs, and formatted them to match the resolution of the display screen. He then captioned each view using the original text from the period stereos. The views were then assembled in chronological order and sound effects, period music, and newly recorded music were added to provide the soundtrack. Richter says, "The soundtrack along with the 3D images gives it a ‘you are there’ experience. I don't think you'll see a more realistic display of World War I images anywhere else."
The show will be on display at the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum in Columbia, South Carolina from September 4, 2009 to December 6, 2009. The museum is open on Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00am to 5:00am and on the first Sunday of the month from 1:00pm to 5:00pm. Admission is $5 for Adults 18-61, $4 for Seniors 62 and over, $4 for Military (active duty and veterans), $2 for Youth 13-17, and free for children 12 and under.
