FICTION ADAPTATION: MONTAGE WORKSHOP/EXPERIMENTING

So Fergus introduced us to 2.5D animation and I have spent the week attempting to crack it. After about 3 separate attempts on photoshop to cut an image and then use after effects to move it in a 3D space. The original clip we were shown was this one from the creators project, which may I add made it look very easy.



However I discovered that this didn't really tell me enough, so I had to find a more in depth tutorial on how to do it. This more lengthy clip was very helpful and has pretty much taught me everything I need.



So after almost a week I have managed to get a first result of what resembles this effect. Although the issues for me were the cutting around the subject in photoshop which I failed at miserably although if I can get it right next time I will be in a very good place to create something very professional.

Heres my first attempt:



Using Photoshop to cut out the subject:

Then taking it into a 3D space in after effects:

Really pleased with the first outcome and will probably look to use this in my montage workshop piece and then even possibly further into my Fiction project.
