In this After Effects and Photoshop tutorial, we'll learn some low budget techniques for getting the footage we need from a still photograph. We'll start off in Photoshop with a photo of a house in France. Using the Vanishing Point filter, we'll define perspective planes before using the 3D information to make the roofs and wall wider in perspective. Then we'll bring the 3D house from Photoshop into After Effects where we'll animate a camera. Finally, we'll create the far background layers in Photoshop and take those layers into After Effects to make them 3D. By the end of this After Effects and Photoshop training, you'll have created a shot with a dynamic moving camera that will look like you were really able to shoot on location in France. Software required: Adobe After Effects CC 2015, Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.
