Hey Michael, I am confused.  Your slides are already 3d.  What more do you
want? :-)  

If you do what you described and then use a viewer to view the slide, you
will get a still see depth but you will get a nice feeling of retinal
rivalry.  Or you can project them and use regular anaglyph glasses to view
them (no need for polarizing filters/glasses or silver screen)

The idea in an anaglyph is to put *both* images in one film chip or
picture.  Consider using your regular SLR camera, put the red filter and
take one picture, then move, trying to maintain alignment as well as
possible, and then take another picture without advancing (double exposure)
with the blue filter in front of the lens.  I wonder if that is going to
work...  You can use print film for this too.
