Waterfall 2.5D Parallax

The objective was to create a 2.5D parallax scene using a still image and animating it in After Effects.

Step 1: Adobe Photoshop

I masked specific sections of the image in Photoshop to create separate foreground, mid-ground, and background layers. I also used content-aware fill to fill in those missing elements once the image had been dissected.

Step 2: Adobe After Effects

I imported the photoshop layers into After Effects, and by using the camera tool I was able to move through the layers to create depth and dimension in the photo.

Program(s) Used:
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe After Effects
