Made with GIMP and the GIMP Animation Plugin (GAP) and (JavE).

 

I added a duplicate series of the animation frames to the original animation and, using my technique for converting a single image into a stereoimage, I modified the duplicate series to give it some depth. (In this case it's not overwhelming, but it's neat nonetheless.) I may add an object to the middle of each image to see if it accents the effect even more. Maybe a rotating sphere or cube?

 

Click on the All Sizes link to see it in action.

 

In order to view this, cross your eyes while looking at the images. You'll know you've got it right when you see a third image appear between the two. Focus on that one. Subtle, but a nice touch if I do say so myself!

 

If you have trouble viewing these things, practice on the preview static image first. Maybe that will help.

 

Sorry for the large file size.

 

Enjoy!
