Custom Lenticular Art Submissions:
     Picture Flip - Send two or three pictures or illustrations the same size.
     Zoom - Send I picture for same image zoom, or multiple images (5 maximum) for "animated" zoom. We       will determine actual size of each image. You should indicate which image should be the starting point       (smallest) and which is the end (largest).
     Spiral - Furnish us with still photos from a motor driven camera, or in this case a short video recording.       The factory will isolate 5 images and use them for the animation sequence.
     3D Photographs - Make a color copy of the photo and indicate on the copy which layer is which. The       factory will scan and separate the photo for you and send you a proof.
     3D Illustrations - Create your Illustration in Adobe's Illustrator or Photoshop and divide it into the 4 - 5       layers of your choosing. Indicate which layer is which. Be sure each layer is a complete layer... rear       images need to overlap the ones above them as the completed image shifts as you view the finished       product. Factory will do color separations and focus the layers.
