Snap Inc. has unveiled ‘Duck Duck’ by filmmaker Harmony Korine, an experimental short film shot using Spectacles 3 to explore storytelling in 3D. Released November 2019, Spectacles 3 are equipped with dual HD cameras to capture three-dimensional photos and videos, giving wearers the ability to transform Snaps with 3D Effects.
For Duck Duck, Korine experiments with Spectacles 3 as a cinematic tool for wearable cinema by overlaying augmented reality onto three-dimensional scenes for immersive storytelling. The film’s hybrid reality is brought to life through 3D Effects developed for the film, which will be available to Spectacles 3 users on Snapchat.
“Spectacles 3 is a completely unique format that shifted my perspective on film, narrative, what’s animated and what’s real,” said Korine. “By combining a first-person point of view and 3D Effects, the sunglasses inhabit their own hyper-personal universe, and helped inspire the multi-sensory experience of Duck Duck – like you can walk into this world when you watch it.”
