3d Rocket Cam (Was:Newbie with questions)

The story so far:

A 4 ft separation can be done inside a single rocket. With altitude ranging
from 100 to 400 ft, that gives ratios of 1/25 to 1/100 so that should
work out to at least some good 3D shots along the way, maybe all of them.

Current questions:

1.  Can a decent beam splitter be home built?

2.  If I use twin cameras in the rocket, and rotate them to point
    outwards slightly, (reverse keystoning?) would that simulate
    a larger ratio?  Would the large altitude cancel out or reduce
    any keystone effect?
