hello Claus here this time I want to
tell you about technique we have been
using at Duke Denver film for the last
three months. We're currently working
on a documentary about the German
organist Klaus Wunderlich who were
hugely popular in the seventies. So one
of the challenges we had while we were
doing the documentary was that he did
not have a lot of appearances in
television and the the time he did
appear in television
those tapes are now gone ereased and
are more so I heard about this
technique called parallaxsing and
it's a technique where you bring a still
photo back to life and I want to show
you how we are doing it so all you need
now is a photo a scanner and application
where you can manage  photos like
photoshop or there is like three
versions called Camp I think that will
be good i'm using Photoshop do so and
then you also need some kind of
compositing software in this case i'm
using after effects but you can also use
black magics fusion should be able to do
the same thing just work slightly
different and i'm sure there is other
applications we can you can do this
so without further ado let's go to the
edit suite so the first thing you're
going to do you're going to scan your
photo just like that and then you're
going to import your photo in photoshop
and then we are photoshop booting up
very nice so and then you see you got em
let's meet by the way as a child so the
first thing you're going to do is you're
going to take the pen tool or the quick
selection tool and make a selection
around your subject
I'll do a very brief in this tutorial
for the sake of the length so I'll speed
it up a bit
just like that
so the thing you then are going to do is
you're going to right-click on the layer
and then you're just going to make
selection and then you can feather it 5
pixels if you like it's up to you or
less is fine just like that and then
you'll just have to take the quick
selection tool and go on the the copied
layer right there i'm covering it now so
you'll go on the copy layer with the
quick selection tool and then you'll go
on the bottom layer and erase out the
top layer from the bottom just like that
and I'm all gone now so now it's time to
start to draw in the background and what
you can do here you can use brush tool
or you can use the clone tool I'm using
a combination of both and you can do it
in great detail you can you can do it
fast doesn't really matter it's up to
you how perfectly you want your image to
be so just like that mask to some
brushing and that's just fine
no they go and now you are going to take
your photoshop file and important into
after effects and after that you're
going to import the file is a
competition and firm and the merch and
that's the the bottom ones you right
here and then again that we have just
like that so then you can do your
animation the length of your animation
like five to six seconds depending or
generally so then you're going to use
the pin Papa tool and then what you're
going to do here is you're going to do
marks on your on your subject the places
where give since like the arm will have
three spots and them
it's like that and then we'll do a quick
animation you'll just push the stop
watch and then you'll move the cursor
wherever you want to and then you'll
start to make the movement your figure
is going to do and that'll be the
beginning of the animation like here so
when you see that's it
so the thing is that you can also make
this effect a little bit better by
making the layers into 3d and then us
going to take a new camera that's fine
and then you're going to put a stop
point and then move it and then push it
to stop watch again that and then you'll
do open the duration of the movement
you're going to do so yeah basically
that is the parallax effect that's it
yeah all this i hope you found this
