[Somatisandro]

what. 1.3k subs? man, your production value worth like half a millions subs. Count me in. I've been watching a lot of parallax effects tutorials and this is the absolute best.

[guyudonotknow]

best tutorial i've ever watched, just graduated as an illustrator and clueless on how to animate, every job requires motion graphics and i'm truly amazed how easy it actually is

[konradnoises]

Hey man I just wanted to say that this is how all tutorials should be! Perfectly explained, making sure you point out beginner skills and giving out a lot of nice advanced techniques. Congrats, keep it coming!

This video is 5 years old but still, it's the best tutorial I've ever watched for making parallax effect using Photoshop and AE. ♥

I watched your video a lot of times! And after almost a year I have built a super simple automatic 2.5d animation tool!

[VibrantDesigns]

The puppet tool took it to a whole new level!

This is perhaps the best tutorial for anything I've found on youtube. You explained the tools rather than diving straight into the process all the while managing to be concise and not boring. Kudos!

[nicolas.guilbert]

This is, by far, the best tutorial I've seen on the subject. Thanks a lot!

[Larzi]

BIG KUDOS for saying exactly each and every shortcut key you press as you do stuff or where to find the tool or whatever. Makes it a lot easier to follow for beginners!

[kennetherhabor]

Seen a lot of videos on animating photos in both Photoshop and After Effects, yours is definitely the best! Explanation very clear; you mention the tools, what they are used for and other relevant information to them as well as the shortcuts. This is an example of how a YouTube tutorial should always be! Couldn't help but subscribe. Keep up the good work mate.

Thank you! The puppet rig at the end sent everything into the Awesome universe.
