Why not just mount two identical cameras next to each other and trigger them at the same time. Some camera's come with remotes so can set both of that the same time the two picture can then be fine tuned where the to setting are off and where the framing needs cutting.
Because they also have to be set to a specific angle depending on the distance they are apart, due to the way we percieve 3D. You can't just put them parallel side-by-side, it won't work.
Hence why old-style anaglyph 3D projectors require 2 projectors pointing slightly inwards from either side of an auditorium, if you just put them side by side it wouldn't work and you'd end up with a blurry messy image that causes headaches.
You would need at least 25 cameras at make it look good and a way of setting each camera on in turn.
You can buy cheap camera's for as litlle as £10 each ( £10 x 25 = £250 ) remember they must all be the same make of camera for this to work.
You could remove the shutter buttons and add a wire lead.
One wire could be fitted to a metal disk ( small rimmed wheel ) the second mounted around the out side. A contact on the rimmed would then in turn trigger each switch in turn.
The fastter the wheel is turned the closer the photo's would be taken, the wheel could be spun upto speed and a switch pressed to set the camera's off.
By adding a video camera in the set would give the full Matrix action
I'd explain better but I've just thought of it !
Nero what would you pay for pictures like that ?
You would need far more than 25 cameras, that would give you 25 frames which would equal one second of footage... far too fast. I'd say at least 180 cameras to give a nice smooth rotation and decent timeframe. They don't all need to be the same make, due to a little thing called photoshop, simply resize and crop all the images to the same size and you're sorted. That way you can also touch things up and fix stuff you don't like.
There is no need for a video camera, due to the fact that playing back the frames in sequence would give a moving image at 25fps if the cameras were set off one after another at intervals of 0.04 seconds apart. Using a flywheel with wires attached would become very messy and complex as the flywheel would have to be in the centre... where the bocker would be. Using a computer controlled system linked to a large number of networked digital cameras would be much easier.
By the way, welcome back DK
