  • Make pictures pop out and come out at an angle – see sample

    Posted by Timi Boose on May 21, 2012 at 9:10 pm

    Hi everybody!

    Take a look at this commercial to see what i’m trying to do:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSlY74J6iH8

    About 15 seconds in, all these pictures pop out of a book and then they rearrange themselves in perspective. It doesn’t seem to be that hard. I’ve got the pictures to pop up just keyframing position, but to get them to align themselves at that angle is giving me some trouble. I’m trying to do it with a camera but not too good with the camera – Any suggestions? am I at least on the right path?

    File not found – Bad serial number – the problem could be this, that or the other…

    I would also love to know how to do this well, the graphics in that sample are very nice.

    what i think i’d try is parent all the images to a null and use the rotation of the last image to control the whole line of images…

    before parenting, you may want to set the null’s position and rotation to that of the image that is furthest back in z-space. it may make it easier to line things up after you parent the other layers.

    Isn’t this just a matter of key framing in Z space? Set start point where they are start stacked above the volume, then set an out point spread along the same Z axis. Looks like they added some motion blur as well. Easy-ease would also help.
