Open book animation
Someone wants me to take picture of a book closed and the same book open, and animate the book opening. Can this be done in Motion? If so, how? Thanks.

You are going to have to take a flat on shot of the cover of the book and then move this in 3D with the anchor point set to an edge. A bit like hanging a door!

You’re going to need the edges of the book to sell the effect. You can either shoot them with a camera or find them on a stock footage site.

Yar, this is EXACTLY what he was told on apple.com.

Don’t forget to break the cover into two parts. The binding and where the binding meets the cover. A thick binding on a old book wouldn’t rotate. That little detail will also help sell the effect. Best of luck.
