After consulting the professor individually, I realized that the 3D street art entrepreneurship was not a good idea since other people have already taken that idea. Hence I started researching about the other idea Jamie Beck’s Animated GIF Photography http://www.amusingplanet.com/2011/04/jamie-becks-animated-gif-photography.html

Photos have officially entered the 21st Century with the invention of the "cinemagraph."—it is "something more than a photo but less than a video." It is a photo with a slight hint of movement.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, photographer Jamie Beck and graphic artist Kevin Burg use GIFs, which is a similar picture format to the popular JPEG. By painstakingly adding motion graphics, the pictures then gain movement. "There's movement in everything and by capturing that plus the great things about a still photograph you get to experience what a video has to offer without the time commitment a video requires."

This is pretty new, and I am sure that few people have started a business idea on this type of art yet since it is created in 2011. I am thinking perhaps I can get in touch with these two artists and start an online service so that customers can send their normal photos and the artists will edit them to moving photos or something else.
