    How can I create a video that has a flipbook kind of motion? The actors will be running alongside a fence and I want to see their movements and facial expressions through the fence. However I think it would be harder to film it than to create it in after effects. I thought about taking photos of a fence with a transparent background and shooting the footage of the actors running alongside me while filming and putting them together. Before attempting this I would like to get thoughts on it. Thanks in advance!

    I think you’ve got the right approach, you’ll be able to animate the fence’s motion, using masks to make holes where you need them to correspond to the action.

    Only thing I’m not sure of is when you describe it as a flip book effect. Are you wanting this to appear drawn and have someone flicking through the images? If so, take a look at Andrew Kramer’s tutorial: https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/flip-book_motion/
