>what equipment I need to make field sequential films

The options I know about are:
1.  NuView adapter for existing camera--just ok within operating limits.
2.  Toshiba 3-D camcorder.  This is a consumer camera with two lenses and
    two ccd's that interlaces the signals onto VHS-C tape.  Fixed focus which
    can be modified somewhat with close-up lenses.  Only VHS-C quality but
    is well designed and easy to use and is good at what it does.  Not made
    anymore but qood-quality units are available between $3,000 and $5,000.
    There is a good website with pictures of a Toshiba camera with a stedi-cam
    and maybe someone will post the link.
3.  Make a 3-D camera with a multiplexer.  A multiplexer takes inputs from
    two video cameras and interlaces them to field sequential video.  
    Multiplexers are available in composite and component varieties for as
    cheap as $300 to many thousands.  Most require that you have two cameras
    that can be synched together or else you also need a time-base corrector.
4.  VREX and others sell cameras and I believe they are even more expensive.

If you need help with 2. or 3. I might be able to assist you.
