Motion Design Hotline: Flustered by Faux 3D with Evan Abrams and Kyle Hamrick

All is not as it seems this week on Motion Design Hotline, as Evan Abrams and Kyle Hamrick reveal tricky techniques to make things appear deeper than they are. We’ll bring dimensionality to flat images, travel down tunnels, and rotate 2d artwork into the third dimension! There are many ways to create depth in After Effects… or at least fake it!
