Motion 3D Photo montage

[Stephen Smith]

This effect is created by taking a photo and cutting out the separate images in the photo and separating their Z distance, then you move Motion’s camera to create the effect. You can cut out the parts of the photo using the Bezier tool, be sure to duplicate the image the amount of times you need to per each image. Separate the images Z distance and animate to taste. Hope this helps.

ok thanks. So it’s ok to only use Motion 3.

[Stephen Smith]

Absolutely, I use Motion all the time to create effects just like the ones you had links to.

By the way, I usually like to keep the Z distance between my images at around 300 or so.

The link shows the use of Photoshop but you said I can do it with Motion only, right?

Thx

Hi Stephen,

I had my first class for the 3D pics. The problem is that every time I cut something for a layer, I need to have a pic of what’s behind or I will have a duplicate or a hole. So for example I need a pic of a woman at the beach with a ball on the sand and the beach. I can cut/mask the girl and the ball separetly but when I move the camera , I need to see what’s behind her and use a pic of the beach without her. Or use Photoshop to re-remake the missing part. Right?

Thanks
JP

Yes, just use the Bezier or free hand mask tool.

Jean,
Just increase the size of the Woman until she covers up the hole and that way you don’t need to use the clone tool in photoshop. Good Luck.
