Step 2Creating the images
Once again using fireworks, I assembled the images how I wanted them. I also put in my own text like the floating IKEA text, but on the image with the debris. For this I used a few quotes (clean ones) from the movie.
At first I tried to experiment with some lenticular sheets by trying to peel the plastic off of some novelty ones I had but they are glued on very well. I found a place in California that sold the sheets. They had a minimum order and with that plus shipping, handling, and customs it cost me about $60. The positive side is that I will never run out of the sheets in my lifetime. I used 30 lpi (lenses per inch) sheets.
I then downloaded a trial version of some software that "interlaces" the images. There are a few programs available, some pay and some free, just google it. Set up takes a while and calibrating your printer can take a few sheets of paper. It took me about 20 test prints to get the spacing perfect. You eventually end up with the last image in this set. It doesn't look like much but the lenticular sheeting will focus one part of the doubled image at a time, creating a clear and clean picture.
It took a bit of playing to get the image lined up right. I just used tape to hold it in place because I was going to sandwich the image and the sheeting between a piece of glass and a piece of wood. The people who sold me the sheets strongly advise using a spray adhesive but you would have to get the image lined up really fast and carefully.
Watch out for text when creating lenticular images. It is hard to read if it is not a decent size.

This was really interesting. I had no idea they were called 'lenticular' sheets; I've always called them 'holographs' (Sp?). I think it's amazing the way you put them all together. Thanks for all your hard work (although I'm sure it was fun) and for sharing. Cheers!
