  • 3D Ken Burns Effect w/Film not Photos—Anyone Know How?

    Posted by Timothy Hopper on September 1, 2012 at 11:24 am

    What i want to do is creating a layered film.

    same concept as in photoshop when you have a picture and remove a person, than start removing objects to create layers so as to create a 3d ken burns effect.

    How do i create a 3d ken burns effect with film? is there a way to pen tool lets say a object with in a film and the object is followed and everything else is cut out?

    So if i had a film of a guy surfing for thirty seconds I would want to:

    1. removed the surfer and create a thirty second moving layer of him

    2. remove the wave and create a moving layer

    3. remove the sun

    and so on so on

    Here is the big problem. If you remove the surfer and then do a move you will see the surfer behind the surfer. That is why it is ideal with a photo. Because you can clone out the surfer in the photo. You can remove these things but then you have a bunch of holes in your thirty second long video. AE has a clone tool but this will be an extreme amount of work.
