Tommy Wiseau's The Room has become a famous "so bad it's good" fan favorite since its release in 2003. It's a strange mess of a film in many ways. One of the odd things that happened behind the scenes: it was shot simultaneously on 35mm film and digital video on a side by side camera mount. Why? Who knows, but there you go.
No attempt was made to make a stereoscopic image here. I assume, but don't know, that both cameras shot at 24 frames per second. I assume, but don't know, that they attempted to frame them similarly. The interaxial is obviously wide. The shutters would not be in absolute sync (I imagine) even if the frame rates matched up. So, with all of the digital ability to work on 3-D in post, could anything usable be made out of what they have? Or would it be painfully unwatchable (physically, to the eyes, not just the mind warp that it already is)?
Has any film ever been converted to 3-D from two separate unintentional sources?
Just thinking silly things out loud. Thanks for indulging me.
