One of the best tutorials I've ever seen, both from the tutorial perspective as well as how well shot and put together this entire thing is. Thanks!
first saw this when you posted it and immediately added it to my favorites. Love when someone "breaks the mold" which does not happen very often. promissed myself this week to give it a go as it would look very good for my photo portfolio's website I'm creating. Thank you for sharing this with us.
If you're preparing for a parallax photo it would be SO much easier to put the camera on a tripod, take a picture of the background with no subject and another with the subject. Therefore you don't have to paint in any gaps, just cut the subject out and put it on the clean background! I guess they did it the other way to demonstrate how you would go about doing it if you were given a single photo with no clean background.
This way means you can do it will any photo
He showed you this method of filling in the background because, as he explained in the video, this is a good technique to use when you're working with archival photos and you don't have any video to use of the event. This technique creates the illusion of video-esque footage, especially when you need to bring old photos to life and don't have the ability to take a photo of the background with out the subject. However, to do this with a current photo where you CAN take a picture of the background without the subject, I agree, that's the way to go.
Lol no. I don't have a time machine my friend.
Whole point is he uses archived footage... not a staged act, but i do understand your point
exactly what i thought but if they are 1940 photos you got no choice :)
A rare treat: a succinct, clear, well-rounded tutorial.
Hi, this sort of a tutorial ;) really helped me to build an automatic 2.5d animate tool! And I'm almost done building it. So if anyone wants to try, that would help with fine-tuning.
My first tutorial on Parallax technique...inspiring. I can't wait to try this! Thank you!!
Really one of the best after effects videos I’ve seen. Great stuff!
Finally! I have been looking for the name of this effect for so long so I could try it myself. Thanks for sharing this!
Stunning job mate !
wow! Amazing video dude! Love what you do.
Man! Great Video step-step presantation ! This is the first time for me to see somebody explaining so many things, in a very simple way, in a 5 min length video. Great job my friend!
Impressive!
I've been looking for creative things to edit in my free time and having seem this I'm going to look through my parent's old photos! Thanks!
Quick and slick tutorial. Really lovely work.
Wow, that's really cool! Thanks for sharing!
Very nice generalized overview. Always liked this effect and wondered where to start with it.
Fantastic video! Great pace and detail and explanation - even for someone who has never used AfterEffects I understand everything. Thank you!
Thanks, great tutorial! Having to repaint the background is a pain, personally I would use a tripod and shoot first without the subject so I can use that image as the background. You will save time and have more leeway in terms of camera movement. You could also shoot the subject with a blue/green screen behind so you don't have to do all that cutting, just simple keying.
You are absolutely right, and that's more of a VFX team approach. It seems like this artist is working mostly from archival photos, where getting a background plate and shooting on a chroma key aren't possible.
that's exactly what I was thinking
Amazing work!
Mate, the best I have seen yet on this. You are fantastic at this. BTW, If you are going to set the shot up, just take a picture of the background by itself. Saves you having to reconstruct it.
Excellent tutorial, Sir! Clear-cut and succinct.
Thank you so much for the enlightenment!
Awesome! This is exactly what I was looking for! :D
I wanna learn it now ! Awesome!!!
Hey, thank you for showing us this tutorial!This looks really cool! :)
Great video! Gonna have to try this.
awesome! thanks for sharing your ideas and inspiring people like me!
How stunning!....That's awesome
Good explanation of how it works. You can save yourself a lot of time by shooting the background without you in front of it, but I understand why you did it the way you did, for tutorial's sake.
Oh hey thanks for pointing that out! Wasn't even thinking of that. Great idea :)
God bless!
That works if you are creating the image from scratch, but it you are taking an already existing image then you would need to know how to regenerate the background without the subject,
Lerkero Yes! Exactly. :) But for making your projects and capturing resources yourself, Chistopher Moonlight has a great point. But yes, you're correct - that's how they do it in those history documentaries when they create this effect on historical images. ;)
I know some one who used this technique and he didn't tell m the secret last year, now I know it ! thank you man that was gooooooooood
Looks Amazing!
Awesome work man.
Brilliant stuff, thank you for this wonderful lesson!
This is absolutely beautiful!
Really madness man! Great job and explanation!
I've been wanting to do this for a while now. Thanks
Great work!
Wow thats amazing. Pictures coming to life!
Truly genius!! I love this !
Thanks for sharing this inspiring video! I'm going to have to try this, now!
this was the most amazing technique for me in a long time
Amazing work
I have been doing similar stuff like this for years as far as separating the subject (s) into layers. I am glad to know I am doing it correctly since I never had any formal training. I rarely use the camera and never even knew about PIN feature where it allows you to make movement. I always cut the arm off to a separate layer and rotated by moving the anchor point to the joint. Where is that PIN? Makes me wonder how much extra work I am doing by simply not knowing these things
Very helpful and concise. Thanks for posting!
Great piece. Thanks for sharing it. Cheers.
So dope Ive known how to do this, but never saw a tutorial, depth of field is whats up!
superb tutorial
I love this. Thank you!
It's too much class for just one video. Super finesse!
nice tutorial, I did my own photo just a minutes ago, still uploading, and I linked your video in the description, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, I'm a beginner still but I like to learn lots of things.
Thanks a lot! Very nice vid man.
Very, very cool. I will try this myself.
Oooooo this is gold! Thanks. :)
Wow this is great!
It's easy to do slowmo when you're the Reverse Flash
hahah
wow awesome, will be trying this!
This is pretty amazing. wow.
Beautifully done this is awesome
nice work. thanks dude!
Great video!
Great! I will use this effect to spice up our class photos. :) Thank you
This is a great technique, thank you!
Useful tutorial too! :) Thanks.
Cool and thanks for the post!
Great job!
AWESOME! Thanks!
That's something! U guys r great!
This is great. I'm keen to play around with this technique
awesome, really impressive
This is fantastic. I really need to get After Effects and figure out how to do this.
excellent tutorial, thanks...
That's pretty cool to see how that's done. I've always wondered.
Thats lush!! Genius!
what a tecnique! that's amazing! thanks you:)
Amazing work - thank you!
Great work thank you
I notice that the shadow of the paddle, and of one of the balls, travels across the white t-shirt. The ball's shadow, I believe I understand, would be a softened/blurred, grey'd ball, with lowered opacity. Am I correct that you placed puppet warp points onto the shadow of your finger, and brought it down shorter as the camera dollies in?
Lovely work, by the way :)

Cool tutorial
Awesome! thank you so much!
My God this is very good !!!
Joe its Dave H! Cant believe i found you from Googling "photo animation techniques", still love you dude! Great work!
Cool, I gotta try this. Thanks
Brilliant Job keep it up.
Great! Thanks for the video.
This answered a question I had for years.... I finally understood how it was made!
Amazing!
Love the tutorial. Very elegantly done, and it answered a few questions I had about what size your project should be in terms of Camera and Z depth. I'd been going about it all wrong in using very high res images and having to push to so far away from the camera that my Z pos was like 40,000. Treat it as if it were a macro :-)
Also to people asking about the spinning balls, I'm not sure if this is how it was done in this video but I would imagine an elegant solution would be to use the texture from one of the ping pong balls as a texture layer, and maybe mask around it with some feather so you get the spherical fall off of focus. Then just copy paste or parent the ball layer's position to the texture layer's mask path and it will look like the ball is spinning. set your blending mode and voila :-)
Nice idea use AE 3d layer !
thanks,great tutorial? it's very nice. I hope to learn about element effects.
very cool, gotta try this
Brilliant ! absolutely, brilliant !
Very helpful!
Really awesome!!XD
Thanks for sharing!
This was breathtaking! I'm in the middle of working with a photo, and wanted to know how do you make the zoom effect, of the camera panning in on the subject? Whatever I try has the camera movement going side to side, but not directly into the subject.
Brilliant!
The Most entertaining tutorial i ever watched about adobe
I LOVE THIS
Thank you for being my teacher :)
very nice. thanks for posting
amazing !
