if anyone IS seriously interested in an analysis of factors for determining
proper creation/display of three dimensional "movies", i strongly suggest 
finding a book published in the 1950's on the subject of stereoscopic
motion picture photography by one raymond g. spottiswood (may be focal press). 
he covers the basic equations for setting up stereo images based on screen
size and viewer distance.
