It’s a terrible idea. Viewers usually use prisms as part of their optical
system, and the frame to frame registration isn’t good. You will end up with
unsharp images that jump around, and probably have a pretty severe hot-spot in
the middle.
If you want a slow, painful way to do this, just shoot each frame over a light
box, and then digitally align them. Results will be sharper, but registration
will still be so-so.
