Experimental 3D: "Hidden Life of Stones" by San Base

Above is "Life of Hidden Stones" by Canadian artist San Base, from the 3D Blu-ray "Function of Reality". Base's work (from the video description) "utilizes mathematical algorithms and classical elements of painting and music, while harnessing the power of computer technology to bring these drastically different disciplines together."

Music Video - Krause "Follow Me"

Directed by Daniel Nogueira and performed by Susanne Clermonts (Krause), "Follow Me" is a music video that creates a visual manifestation of the cerebral process of losing yourself.

Instead of using a conventional 3D camera rig, they used a 3D scanner, recording the performance as cloud point data that can be manipulated in CG software, cleaned it up, and rendered it out in stereoscopic 3D. They have a breakdown of the process on OPTIX Digital Pictures' website.

Unfortunately they've only posted an anaglyph excerpt of the stereoscopic version, but you can enjoy the entire video in 2D after the jump.

The process is similar to Radiohead's "House of Cards" music video, though OPTIX Digital Pictures pushed this technique much further to create a very unique work.

Zapruder filmmakersgroup: Italian arthouse 3D (NSFW)

Forget the Berlinale press releases proclaiming Werner Herzog wandering around some caves is the height of arthouse 3D. This is what arthouse 3D looks like.

Zapruder filmmakersgroup is a group of avant-garde Italian filmmakers, founded in 2000 by David Zamagni, Nadia Ranocchi and Monaldo Moretti. This website encompasses works spanning from 2005 to 2010. To quote the group: "Zapruder's work creeps into the interstitial between visual, performance and cinematographic arts." Their films have screened and won awards at several European film festivals.

To say much more than that would undermine the spirit of their work. Click here to check out their site. The videos are all red/cyan anaglyph. And as with all good art, their website is not safe for work.
