3d photo effect with camera?
Hi,
I’m working on an AFX video where the customer wants to me create
an effect that I’ve seen lots of time but never actually done it.
The effect shows a photo but It looks like 3d. It actually seems like
if the photo had been divided in different levels of depth. Then, you can
move around. Is it made with a camera an 3d objects? How? The photo seems
to me like having some kind of perspective. An example of this can be found at http://www.artboda.net
then click The LoveStory. Select the video on the left. The actual effect
is the one showing a girl in front of a tent but It is used a few other times.
Sorry for the crappy explanation.
Any help appreciated.thanks

Hi,
This PDF from Adobe Evangelists should point you in the right direction. If you check out the tutorials on Adobe’s site there’s a great load of resources there. (I did have a vague memory of a tute here on the Cow, but couldn’t find it).
Good luck with it,

The effects you are looking for is called the “Ken Burns” effect. The term comes from a movie called “The kid stay in the picture”. Do a google search on the terms, or the “3D picture trick”.

it looks to me like its made with 3d layers and an animated camera. you should cut out the different layers that you want in photoshop, then bring them into AE. make them 3d layers and create a camera. then separate your layers in 3d space (i find it easiest to do by using the overhead view). then when you orbit the camera you should see some depth. be careful not to move the camera too much however, because you don’t want to reveal a problem in your background (either an empty space or a repeat image of your subject). you may have to tweak the scale of your layers to hide this or photoshop the background so you don’t have to worry about it.

This effect is much easier if you have an empty shot for the background instead of the one from which you have cut the subject. Wedding shooters do this often. Shoot the bride against the church, cut the bride out of the church so she’s on her own layer. Carefully fill the hole with carefully created clones of the adjacent pixels.
Easier if you just shoot the church without the bride.
We’d call this using “a clean plate.”

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
