CUSTOM VIEW-MASTER REELS |
|||
|
Remember when you were a child and looked in amazement through your View-Master viewer at all your favorite cartoons in real stereoscopic 3D? Remember later, when you grew up a little and looked at all these beautiful 3D pictures of far and exotic places? And now you wish you could put your own pictures on a custom made reel to re-live and enjoy that experience... Wish no more, because now you can do that! I can make custom View-Master reels for you! There are several types of custom reels I can make: 1. If you have a single picture file, not in stereo, I can place text with it, so that when you look through the viewer at the custom reel, you will see the text floating in front of the background. 2. I can also place other floating elements such as a floating frame, plus text. 3. Finally, if you are into 3D, you can send me your left and right files, and I can convert these to a real 3D View-Master reel. 4. I can teach you how you can take your own 3D pictures with a single digital camera, as long as the objects you photograph don't move. 5. I can combine two or more of your pictures to create a collage and make View-Master from these. And I can do many other amazing things. Here are some custom reel examples:

 Precision custom-cut blank reel used with the system |
 Custom label with information from client |
||
 A finished custom reel |
 Each pair of pictures is precisely placed in the custom reel |
||
Two single left and right film frames showing an added text per customer order. When placed in the reel, the text will be floating in 3 Dimensions. |
|||
 Two single left and right frames with added text and red border. When placed in the reel and viewed, both text and border will be in 3D at different levels. |

 If you know how to take 3D pictures, these can be placed in the custom reel with the added advantage that not only the pictures are in 3D but also the floating text and/or border is floating in different levels. More information about making your own custom View-Master reels can be found on a different page of this website: http://www.gravitram.com/a_kit_for_making_your_own_custom.htm One reel contains 7 images. If your images are in 3D, then I need a left and a right image for each pair labeled accordingly. If your 7 images are not in 3D, send me only 7 images. I will duplicate each so each eye will be able to see the same image. |

| HOW TO SEND FILES FOR CUSTOM REELS: Each file frame should be saved at 3000 (three thousand) PPI (same as DPI) and should be 13mm wide by 12mm high. If you are used to the term pixels, it is the equivalent of a rectangle which is 1535 pixels wide by 1417 pixels high, regardless of the other dimensions. Any one of the above will give us the correct size and resolution. You should save the files as TIFF or very high quality JPEG. For extra charge, you may request to add a line of text of about 2-3 words. (If you add more words, the letters will be too small for reading.) You may also request to add a border of any color and text or any one by itself. Do not insert the text yourself! Send me the text separately, I will insert it into the images. Important to remember: The heavy black border with rounded corners is necessary to make sure you see the picture correctly in your View-Master viewer. However, the files that you would submit are the size of the outside border of these borders. This means that part of your image will not be visible. The visible part is only about 1350 pixels by 1200 pixels, or about 11.5mm by 10.5mm. Consequently, plan to have your important part of the picture, inside the black border. Finally, if you don't feel confident about working with your digital files as described in the above two paragraphs, don't worry. Simply send them to me just as they came out from your camera and I will take care of everything with no extra charge. PRICE: The price of the first custom reel is $35. Additional reels with the same images are $20 each. Additional reels with different images than the first reel are $35 each. Minimum order is two reels: either two identical reels for a total of $55 or two different reels for a total of $70. Text or borders or both is an additional $1 per image. For example, if you want to include text in each image in the reel, add $7 to the price of the reel. The reels come with a label in the center of the reel that looks like the picture below. There is no charge for the label if it looks like the sample below with your text, and you may add up to 50 characters to customize it to your needs. Send me the text as you want it to appear on the label. However, if you wish to have your own design turned into a label, there is $1 charge per reel.
WHERE TO SEND THE FILES AND THE MONEY: Because the files will be large, you should combine all files in one or more zipped folders and use a free file transfer service such as www.yousendit.com Send the files to shablevy@comcast.net I accept personal checks if issued on a USA registered bank. I accept also PayPal transfers and cash. The easiest is to transfer money via PayPal to my account: shablevy@comcast.net I do not sell View-Master viewers. You can buy these at a toy store. My reels will fit any standard View-Master viewer. There is no charge for shipping the finished reels to you if you live within the USA, for other countries the price is $5. All orders must be prepaid. Turn around time is about 1-3 weeks, depending on the number of reels. You may send me your files first, wait for my response to verify the files are correctly saved and after you hear from me, you can pay for the service. If you prefer to send me check or cash, you should send also your images on a CD at the same time rather than transfer these via the internet. Since I won't start working on your project before I receive payment, there is no need to clutter the email with large files. Just send everything in one package via regular mail to: Shab Levy MORE QUESTIONS? Send me email with all of your questions:
