  I saw that too and assumed it was a demo mode so people
could see that the shutters are used to alternate the image
to each eye.

  I bet videographers who started out in super 8 make
much less boring videos since they don't spend 5 or 10
minutes on a shot that deserves 30 seconds.

  True. That's why I want someone else to do it. :)
I'll even loan them a pair of Ricohflex TLRs to shoot
with if I get first choice on half of the shots.

  From a different posting, maybe Ken Luker and son
are the men for the job :)
