Interestingly, this week I've seen video billboards with adverts for Waterloo Road using that strange effect where they have 2 or 3 frames rapidly flashing back and forth with the camera moving left to right that creates a sort-of fake 3D effect without glasses. And makes you feel dizzy.
On the TOTP episodes, the "3D" content was the opening titles (where they'd replaced the usual background footage of people dancing to TOTP logos flying across the screen), some of the links (which were Tony Dortie either chromakeyed over the same background used on the titles, or in the studio with the camera sweeping round), the U2 song played over the charts and the Breakers, which used stock footage, and the Take That performance, which was a mix of a moving camera, shapes flying behind them, both chromakeyed and on a video wall, and CGI phones flying around the screen.
