Parallax effect

This ubiquitous style is an easy workflow that achieves an engaging experience for the audience.  Using two purchased stock photos offset in Adobe After Effects, I animated a camera in Z-space. A warp effect was then added to the dancer using masks to achieve the wind effect.

I used the puppet tool in After Effects to achieve the slight movement in her arms.

The finishing touch was to add particles (of course).

Parallax effect

Two purchased stock photos offset in Adobe After Effects—I used a warp effect to achieve the wind effect on the grass.

I also used the puppet tool in After Effects to achieve the slight movement in her arms.

Again, particles seem to add to the dreamy effect.
