  Question on 3D photomontage

  Posted by Bernskie on June 1, 2007 at 4:07 pm

  hi. i’m trying out the 3d photomontage thingie. i have several scenes that i’ve already rendered out however, i’m not sure how to put them together. do i import all the clips to an NLE? or do i do everything in AE? i’m using AE7.

  note:
  i’m super newbie on AE, just got the book “After Effects Apprentice” by the Meyers like a week ago, so please, appreciate it if you could explain it to me like i’m a 3-yr old kid.

  thanks soooooooo much.

  [bernskie] “hi. i’m trying out the 3d photomontage thingie.”

  Not sure what that is, if you could provide a link or give any more information on exactly what it is you’re trying to do you’d get much more helpful responses!

  [bernskie] “i have several scenes that i’ve already rendered out however, i’m not sure how to put them together.”

  That depends on how you want to put them together, sorry I can’t be more explicit but I’m not sure what is involved in the ‘scenes.’ If they’re finished shots that just need to be cut together or use simple cross dissolves then an NLE is great. If you were hoping to put them together so that they look as though they are a flip book or some other way to integrate them all into the same ‘space’ then AE is probably better.

  Just need more info on what it is exactly you’re trying to do.

  Hi,

  These Photomontages look like they use various techniques that can be done in After Effects. Some of them look like they have been placed in 3D space with lights and camera’s. The the camera’s have been animated to whiz passed the photo to another photo further back in Z space. You might want to look at tutorials focusing on the 3D aspect of After Effects, if you can afford it Total Training’s After Effects 7 Professional Features series gives you all you need to know on 3D and MUCH more, you look up that here:

  CreativeCow also has a very informative article here:

  The other techniques used show the photos on background movies footage of cars whizzing by etc. Look at creativecows Podcasts on After Effects to learn basic stuff like this. If you have rendered out all the individual scenes already you can put them together using After Effects by adjusting the layers in the timeline but if you have a NLE is probably best to do it in that.
