Sex Pot 3D Blu-ray


Hi folks i have a question regarding these Asylum films: I'm currently watching Sex Pot 3D blu-ray, and wondering to myself whether it's a conversion or a native 3d movie.
It's certainly not the best 3D quality, in fact the 3D quality is all over the place to my eyes, but some shots look like either pretty darn good conversion or natively shot.
I can't find any info on it, but I skipped to the credits and didn't see any stereographer credits, nor conversion credits, which would point to an auto conversion right? But it seems much better then the few auto conversions I've seen. So I'm stumped, and I'm turning to the collective wisdom here once again.
As I understand, Haunting of Winchester House is natively shot right ? That's up next on my low budget 3D watch list. I don't know exactly why, maybe just my passion for 3D, but I've never been into low budget movies until recently, and now I want to find all the low budget native 3D out there (whatever is still available).
Essentially I'm trying to figure out if Asylum has made other stereo filmed movies, and if so I'd like to pick some of them up! Please redirect this post if there's already a thread for this!
Thank you for any insight!

These are native 3D by The Asylum, and I believe anything else is an autoconversion:
1. Sex Pot
2. Haunting of Winchester House
3. A Haunting in Salem

That's right.

The place to ask the question would have been the QUESTIONS and RECOMMENDATIONS thread but since we don't have a thread for Sex Pot already, this may as well serve that purpose. The film does have anaglyph releases too so watch out for those.

3D in Sexpot wasn't good at all

It's fairly amateurish, there are reversed shots etc but it does have its moments.

The reversed shots are annoying but what really drives me crazy are the in-camera misalignment problems that affect roughly half of it. Seriously, even the 3DFA couldn't rescue this thing. I have no idea what equipment was used, but it seems like a lot of it was filmed with the lenses vertically stacked on top of each other. There are plenty of scenes that don't work at all unless you look at them with your head turned horizontally. I've never seen anything like it. Such a mess.

That sounds about right, it is probably the shoddiest native 3D presentation ever.

Ok, well now I understand why I was questioning that it was shot in stereo... very interesting. Appreciate the technical assessment.
I haven't watched the other 2 natively made Asylum movies yet but they're on my list. Hope they're done better than this one!
Approaching this material from a non- technical, purely layman's perspective I found some shots to be decent looking 3D, albeit these were few & far between, maybe 5% of the film.
The woman the protagonist day dreams about is attractive, as is his sister toward the end, and there are a few (low brow) laughs, though mostly it's really dumb humor.
The perpetual Hollywood trope of a reluctant protagonist with a trouble maker best buddy who gets him into scrapes has certainly been done before, and much better obviously, but is perhaps universally relatable.
I didn't spend much on it thank goodness! For what it is (a low budget raunchy stoner comedy shot in faulty stereo) i don't regret the purchase.

They are, but I still don't rate them much either as movies or for the 3D. Here are their threads:
