photograph a small audience ( say 2 people) viewing the stereo image.
This should produce a 3D audience viewing a 3D image etc. My first
question.....how can I add some light on the audience members without
causing disparities between images. ( keep in mind the polarizers are
over the realist lenses and I cannot preview through the lens)  Should
the dim light originate from overhead, or from one side, both sides etc?
My intention is too add a hairlight, thus adding some detail to the
subjects as opposed to full silloughettes. Has anyone had success with
this type of thing, and could you offer some guidance? Thanks.>>>

My wife wanted a 2D portrait of me as a stereographer. We set up the TDC 116
with several successive 3D shots of her garden, projected on me wearing a
white shirt, polarized glasses, sitting in front of screen facing projector.
Shot at f-11 for 4 and 8 seconds, it was an outstanding picture at both
speeds. I just had to hold very still for 4 & 8 seconds. You could try it by
having your audience members close to the screen, lit by the projector. At
NSA I tried shooting a picture of Boris' lifesize naked lady phantogram
using anaglyphic glasses Realist lenses but I didn't compensate enough for
the glasses. It made a very interesting, but alas too dark, shot with the 3D
effect of the phantogram hanging in the air in all its fleshy depth. Good
luck Mark.
