simple do-it-yourself 3d movies?

[P3D Don Radovich <donrad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I've been racking my brain all day about this (which can get a bit
painful depending on the rack one is using).  Could someone tell me why
the following would not work as a simple way of creating 3D super-8 or
16mm movies?  Attach a simple beam-splitter to the front of the movie
camera (preferably a beam-splitter with movable outside mirrors like the
Franka).  Expose the film.  Develop the film.  Rig a stand to hold the
beam-splitter in from of the projector lens.  Put polarizing filters in
front of the beam-splitter.  Adjust the outside mirrors on the
beam-splitter so the split images are correctly superimposed on the
screen.  Put on polarized glasses.  Enjoy.  Can anyone see the flaw in
this plan?

Thanks,
Don
