    You can check out this tutorial:

    For better result, use FreeForm Pro. Here’s an example using the Pro version of the plugin:

    Thanks for the info and help. I can see that it will take some time to do. But I like the look of it.

    Hi Tudor “Ted,”

    If you fast forward to 11:22 of the Kony video, you will see that the 3D camera move on the image is unique because it makes the face look 3D and not just a flat 2D image on 3D space. Do you think FreeForm Pro was used here or just advanced layering?

    As you can see in my previous post (the crazyface commercial) a 3d look can be achieved using FreeForm Pro applied on still photos. I dod not know if in the Kony video this particular technique was used, but it can be done using FreeForm Pro.
    Here’s another example of a still made to look 3d using FF Pro:
