yo, so the distance you'll want to move the camera between shots is 1/30th the distance of the object you're shooting. ie, if your object is 30 feet away, take one shot, and then move the camera 1 foot left (or right) and take the second.

yes, you can def use 2 cameras and mount them together to take the two pictures at the same time.

film is also an option, if you know how to double expose the film

I actually film video and shoot in stereoscopic photography formats. using a rig comprising of two camera exactly 63 centimeters apart ( avg. depth at witch 3D images can be seen 65 cen. for males and 64cen. for females.) and Pateneted the answer to your question "can the image really be seen in 3D? yes it can but your glasses must have the appropriate colors. cyan and magenta are the most common. as seen above. but you must have two images ( stereoscopic) to acheive this effect. if you just use one. its just for show. and would be pretty embarrassing if you tried to show it off and it didnt work.
