A method of producing 3D effects in a video file of a subject at a physical scene, said method comprising the steps of: providing a first video camera and a second video camera proximate said physical scene; positioning said first video camera and said second video camera to obtain stereoscopic footage of said subject within said physical scene, wherein said first video camera and said second video camera are both positioned to image said subject within peripheral boundaries of a common reference plane, and wherein said stereoscopic footage includes first video footage from said first video camera and second video footage from said second video camera; altering said stereoscopic footage to add 3D effects that cause said subject to appear to extend above said common reference plane; superimposing said first video footage and said second video footage of said stereoscopic footage to create a superimposed video; defining a common set of boundaries for said superimposed video to create said video file; and playing said video file on a display screen, wherein said subject appears to extend beyond said display screen; characterised in that altering said stereoscopic footage to add said 3D effects comprises: identifying an effects zone around the subject, digitally bending said stereoscopic footage in said effects zone by selecting a first bend point at a first elevation along a perceived height of said subject above said common reference plane and bending stereoscopic footage corresponding to said subject above said first bend point, digitally tapering at least a portion of said stereoscopic footage in said effects zone by dividing said effects zone into first and second regions along said perceived height of said subject above said common reference plane and reducing in size stereoscopic footage for said subject in said second region, or digitally skewing said common reference plane of said stereoscopic footage by tilting said common reference plane toward said first stereoscopic camera and said second stereoscopic camera; and adding said 3D effects to create said video file comprises digitally manipulating a live video broadcast in real time. providing a first video camera and a second video camera proximate said physical scene;
