>Put a 50% mirror directly in front of the camcorder at 45 degrees. At eye-spacing distance to the side place a 100% mirror parallel to it. Let the light coming into the camcorder through the 50% mirror from straight ahead go through (let's say) a red filter, and that light taking two bounces (through both mirrors) go through a green or blue filter.
>Any experience out there? Practical problems? Recommended filters? Source of reasonably priced half silvered mirrors? Major pitfalls?
At a meeting of the movie division of the Southern California Stereo Club last year a couple of members ran some video and Super-8 film that they had shot using some variation of this idea. The results could charitably be described as "disappointing." There are several problems with this. First, NTSC video isn't terribly kind to anaglyph images to begin with. Second, anaglyph images in color always have a lot of color clashing anyway, which makes them far less than ideal. And finally (or perhaps I should just say "third," because I'm sure there are other objections as well) merely shooting through a filter makes the color most pronounced in the lighter areas of the picture, whereas good (B&W) anaglyph images feature the color in the dark areas. This doesn't make the images look "normal" when viewed.
