What is Parallax?
The Parallax Effect can be applied to any composite image in a way that brings new life and dimension into an image. As the camera moves, the objects in the distance appear to move more slowly than the objects close to the camera.

Just completed the head shot tutorial, learned loads and really enjoyed it. Struggled trying to warp the text into perspective but that was due to my lack of skill 🙂
I will fell that my like is completed when i will have finish all the Phlearn Tutorials. Until then we gotta keep learning.
Its Really Cool and Fun compositing . but i face difficulty on After Effect i don,t have basic with After Effect
cool effect but the one i would like to learn is the one you do the movement on arms, legs and different parts of the body….thx…
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! And thank you! This tutorial makes things so much easier!
Yet another great tutorial. Well worth getting.
Excellent
Male models could have been more masculine, but this is just an amazing tutorial.
Yet again – max rating from me as I am downloading the tutorial (:
I am sure Phlearn has produced top quality material once again.
Love this tutorial, I always wanted to learn After Effects and you have shown some basic animation. Thank you once again Aaron, hope in the near future you can show us more after effects animation.
Awesome Tutorial, the only thing I would love to see in future Pro Tutorial would be some BTS or a bit information about how you shot the headshots. Cause the choosing the right light setup will help a lot for composites like that.
Parallax is another excellent series of tutorials at the high quality that PHLEARN and Aaron Nace provide with all their training programs. I only watched the first video-tutorial 01 Parallax Getting Started and all the information about this new training program incite my imagination and intention to learn more about photography post-production and using special effects to generate the images from our own imagination!
