It could be done...I'm not really sure *why* you would really want to do it (how many people even have a pair of 3D glasses). But if you really wanted to invest the time and effort you could pull it off in any number of ways. The easiest would be to find animated footage of a camera moving around a character...that animation technique in and of itself is time consuming though so you're not going to find a lot of examples...usually only in movies or during the opening and closing sequences of a series (there's some pretty bad ass ones in Naruto). With flat video you're going to have to separate the characters from the background, the best looking way would be to redraw/trace over the character using Adobe Illustrator, export the vectors and then color them from scratch. The vector shape can be manipulated in any number of different ways to achieve different angles and to give it the 3D appearance. Then you can just put them onto a background of you're choosing. Ideally you would want to use Adobe AfterEffects and create an alpha transparent video sequence out of it, which would further your options as far as what you could do with it. The problem is though...unless you just want a single 3D picture...yeah...yer gonna have to do that at least 15 times for every second of video (or 24 if ya want it to look real smooth).
So the bottom line is, yes, it can be done, but really, who the hell would ever want to? *shrugs*
