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, the layer definitions include data for object layers that are copied from the object by defining an area containing coplanar portions and removing a previously defined portion from the currently defined layer;

    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; and

    interlacing the animated sequence of frames to a combined image to provide an input interlaced image for application to said image surface.
