Obviously the cheapest (and easiest) would be to simulate night vision in post. Depending on how you light it and play with it in post, you could get results that are just as good (if not more to what you envisioned).
Best of Luck!

For a 360 view, you could use a trick that Robert Rodriguez has used in his films.
Set up your green screen so it completely covers the frame, and have your actor in front of it, standing on a rotating stool (piano stool, or office chair with no backing or arms, etc.). Now simply have the stool rotate while he/she is on it, and move the camera however you like, making sure you do not film the stool.
Now in post, simple animate the environment so it matches his movement, and there you go! Simulated camera movement!

So how would you suggest I do that? Maybe getting a cable that goes straight from XLR to 1/8″?
-
Alright, I will get those.
And also, could it be that I’m using an XLR to 3.5, then 3.5 to 1/8″?

I’m not quite sure what information you are looking for, but yes, the camera’s input is stereo.
And thank you for the headphone suggestion. I’ve been looking for a good pair for a while now. I’ll definitely look into those.

Luke,
That sounds like a great way to do it. Do you have any advice on how to keep the timing as perfect as possible with the camera movement/actor movement? Can this be done with the camera manually (without the use of automated equipment, as suggested before)?
Thanks!

Aha! That is exactly what I was looking for! It’s truly amazing how what looks to be something so elaborate can be achieved with the simplest of methods.
Thank you to everyone who helped out.

Obviously a majority of it would have to do with editing. But my question is to how the camera work must be done in order for the editor to achieve this effect.
Another example of what I am talking about is when the camera starts, for instance, inside one room and then moves “through the wall” to view another room. The trick to this is that at a point in time, both rooms must be in view with the wall between them. An example of this can be found in the beginning of V for Vendetta, where V and Evey are getting dressed.
I cannot seem to find a clip of what I am talking about, so I hope I’ve explained it well enough.

Yes! That’s it! Thank you so much Todd! I knew I had seen it before, and it was “Vertigo” by Hitchcock. This is what I was talking about:

Thank you so much again!
