I'm going to place polarized glasses over my Realist lenses, project a
stereo image onto a screen in a dimly lit room. I would like to
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.>>>

Mark _ Here is one idea that comes to mind. Do do some experimenting with 
double exposures. Frame both the people and screen first. Make focus marks or 
measure the distance of both elements. Now black out the screen and light up 
the people, focus for them and shoot. Next-take out the people and the light 
that was for them, change focus and shoot the screen. This way you have 
plenty of light for them and a clear, sharp screen image.
