There should really be a book made up of their work, or has this already been done? Finding very little when doing searches. I have a lot of their reels, mainly the disney/hanna barbera ones.

Anyway no matter how we look at these characters, we will always look at them with fascination, but Disney always have some brilliant ideas to share, don’t they? Adding some 3D twist to the still images of the characters is genius! It only made the Disney world even more fascinating!

We are the only such gallery/museum devoted to stereography in the US. <BR/><BR/>We have a large collection of View-Master material; as you may know, VW was invented in Portland by Wm. Gruber and the VM headquarters was here 1939-1996. Several of our Board members have massive collections of VM reels, viewers, projectors, and ephemera (company newsletters, ads, etc.)<BR/><BR/>In, fact, we have several of the original sculptures made by Joe Liptak. They are on loan from him. He's in his 80s and still lives in Portland Metro. We used that same image of him on the postcard we printed for a big VM show in May 2007.<BR/><BR/>More information on the 3D Center can be found at:<BR/>http://www.3dcenter.usAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-63192376784579816502009-02-28T22:19:00.000+00:002009-02-28T22:19:00.000+00:00I posted the twin images from that "Robin Hood" se...I posted the twin images from that "Robin Hood" set up on my blog about a year and a half ago.

You could do so onto a silver screen(or a flat silver surface like a silver plate if you had one around) and only with a very expensive projector. The lower price projectors could show one picture of a pair on any surface.<BR/><BR/>If you are interested in buyiing some of the old vintage View-Master reel, let me know.thepaperguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17606928670982700061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-22036237495675267342009-02-22T01:41:00.000+00:002009-02-22T01:41:00.000+00:00MATT J and JEDI SUE - Thanks both of you...<B>MATT J</B> and <B>JEDI SUE</B> - Thanks both of you...Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-90367729281724751302009-02-22T00:33:00.000+00:002009-02-22T00:33:00.000+00:00Wow, thanks for the memories!!
