Tips on how to achieve tiled pics/videos

Hi all,

 

I have some experience using AE but not the skills required to pull off something like this yet. Can anyone help with understanding how this might've been done?

How does the tiling look the way it does (dissimilar sizes) (Is it simply the motion tile effect?) and apart from the camera moves, how are still pictures juxtaposed with video footage?

 

Thank you!

All you have to do:

  1. Add a layer (still image, vector illustraton, video...) which is considerably bigger than your composition.
  2. Menu: Layer > New > Camera.  Make the Camera a one node camera.
  3. Animate the camera's position in X, Y and Z to view different parts of your layer.

 

Effectively this is just like holding your mobile phone camera above an image, moving it around, and moving it closer and futher away.

No tricks to the layout, just precision using the layer sizes and AE's 3D world. It just takes some planning.

Thank you both for your replies and taking the guess work out. I'm trying to scope out the effort for something like this. I'm trying to recreate something similar but I'm bound by time. Before I dive in, I'd like to do a quick proof of concept with something simple.

 

Could you either of you point me to a tutorial that might cover some of these principles, especially layer size and using the 3D camera in those 3D layers?

It isn't an effect.  Most likely, there are several layers (precomps of video).  They are either all tied together using parenting to a Null Layer, or they are in 3D space (all of them), and a 3D camera is being used to move around the scene.

Can anyone help with this?
