1. A method for producing an input image for application from a two dimensional image onto an image surface adapted to present interlaced frames of the input image, comprising: receiving an input image, the image including at least one object; receiving layer definitions for a plurality of layers from at least one object of the input image; receiving an indication of the total displacement for the object animation; determining a relative displacement for each layer from the plurality of layers; generating a sequence of image frames by progressively offsetting said plurality of layers in accordance with relative layer displacement and a total animation displacement; interlacing the animated sequence of frames to a combined image to provide an input interlaced image for application to said image surface.
