Learn how to animate a photo using the multiple planes technique. Preparation of the photo in Photoshop before importing it into After Effects.
In this video tutorial on After Effects and Photoshop, we will see one of the techniques to give life to a picture: the use of multiple planes.
We will perform most of the work on Photoshop to prepare our photo for its animation. We will do a quick matte painting work by recreating some materials.
We will then see two ways to set up our system of layers in 3 dimensions. The first is manual, and the second will be based on the excellent script pt_Multiplane .
It will bring more speed and flexibility in the process, but is entirely optional for this tutorial.
