This might be a little crazy for ZC, but what I want to attempt is this:

Images are set up as a smaller main image that is used to display the item throughout the site, including all modules and main product page.

How can ZC be taken to the next level where if you're looking at the products listing or new products module and hover over the product image, it shows and alternative image (perhaps the second pic in the series). In other words, a bit more interaction.

The other thing would be to use a .gif that switched views of the item, but then the other additional images won't work since they are based on all being a series of jpg.

Let's get creative!
