you’ve all actually seen this in videos. I like when it’s used for nature shots with a lot of trees/leaves/animals. This picture wasn’t good to do it with at all, but other shots this can look really nice. Animating the camera angle while doing this works too.

Great Tutorial……

i agree manu, this could all be done with final cut pro in about 2 seconds completely pointless.

Thx for that tutorial… I think you could really compliment this effect with the use of the puppet tool as well as depth of field from the camera… Possibly even using the mercury effect to simulate water droplets on the glass of the lens… Thx again…

Thanks Corey, nicely done!

Great effect, who cares about finalcut pro it works for me.

this soooo doesn’t work with any other pictures. like most things with Photoshop….a lot easier said than done. or at least in this case, demonstrated than done. maybe if I go to four more years of school and major in graphic design I’ll be able to do something like that.
