How to turn the camera sideways to see the layers are 3d?

It’s better than cgi to be honest

😮😮all this is black magic! 😉 wunderbar!
and thanks for this "non destructive" photoshop infos which I think I'm finally starting to understand!!!!

SImply wonderful and super useful, thanks! I just wish you did the whole process of a still shot on After Effects since that's the program I am forced to work with at the moment xD But oh boy was this video helpful!

THIS VIDEO IS PURE GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤑

thank you very much for the great tutorial. I don't know if you noticed but the lighting of the mountains was contrary to the light of your shot... it was solved by inverting the image, surely you noticed it later, greetings

Hi Steve, starting with saying to you: you're awesome like always !
One question thought: did you ever used Fusion3D for compositing instead of AfterEffects ? I'm curious for a concluded response to this question: do you think you can create anything you would create in AfterEffects with Fusion3D ? I would want to learn these compositing techniques of yours in Fusion3D as it has some free versions, and I'm curious if the effort affords for what you are teaching us here.
Thanks for all ! Extremely nice, smooth learning material. You're great !

Thank You So Much

Can you do this in Final Cut Pro?

One more tip.
Always shoot a grey plate. Overlay that over your mattepainting (or any digital asset). Then the noise pattern of your camera is also visible on the matte painting. If you don’t it becomes very “sterile”. I worked on this indie movie and they needed set extensions. I did the mattepaintings in 2D because there was no 3D budget for me. And I assumed that graduate film school movie makers, knew the grey screen trick. I always shoot a grey screen and black screen in case I need to combat fixed pattern noise.
But the didn’t! So I asked them to do that. I get a half frame filled, poorly lid (not on 50 or 75 IFE depending on your sensor) and a big white cross hair marker. As I was already over my time. I just cloned the hell out of it and brought it up in exposure in Nuke. And instantly the director was like: “damn suddenly that CG look is gone. It sits in the shot!” You can fake it with grain etc that is more visible than the noise but of course then your hole Film need that grain — usually not what you want.

sa here, dude =)))

yo yo toby fox and creo brought here doe

Yours Editing is awesome. I like your videos.I searched a lot and found this channel I did not know the name of this channel. Have a nice day.

You are awesome

Very nice tutorial, you answered my questions. You have a new sub! Thank you!!

this technique! is amazing !

Why were some traditionally done on glass and other opaque board? Did the paintings ever need to be back lit? Also if.projecting an image into a hole left in the matte, would the hole require a projection type screen within the hole in order to focus the image?

I would love for you to do an example in the old school way by say creating a digital matte , and then getting it printed in a large format. Then doing everything else the old way to see exactly how it worked.

awesome thanks

Really nice tutorial!! Next time try to match brightness contrast and saturation. Only the color grading makes it kinda worse.

Good editing

Brother give me your email

Can you make a video on using animation over video? Thank you! I love your channel!

if you want to walk in front of your matte painting, look up rotoscoping
