A video recording that includes rotation around a central point within a desired range of motion is used to generate a set of frames that is cropped by use of a centering reference and a cropping template registered to each frame by using the centering reference in each of the frames. The centering reference is an interocular distance of the photographic subject (which may be a live person or a mannequin) so that a vertical centerline established at a midpoint of the interocular distance is centered laterally by the cropping template. The images obtained can be displayed in a portable computer device to give an illusion of viewing a photographic subject as a solid 3-D object on the screen and additional product images can be merged to give the further illusion that the subject is wearing the product.
