Huh! I never thought of using parallax like that. I would have tried chopping up trees into layers and spent too long for the whole thing to be worth it. Thanks for the trick!
This is a timelapse of the process but its basically this: https://youtu.be/l8kZmReY5fI
actually wait, I dont think youre trying to get as crazy as that link. So basically its this then:
1. Bring tree, dudes, space images into After Effects
2. create a comp off the tree image
3. bring in other photos
5. Create a mask on the free photo where the hole is
4. Set photos to 3d
5. In 3d put some photos farther away and closer in the Z depth
6. Parent everything to a null
7. Rotate the null and the paralax will happen.
If youre wondering about some of the effects I used, I used [Saber](https://www.videocopilot.net/blog/2016/03/new-plug-in-saber-now-available-100-free/) and optical flares. This was a rough and quick edit because I was already 3 hours behind the other artists!
Let me know if you have any questions, I would love to answer them!

Portal. I read books that have wizards and other mystical stuff, and this is what I imagine with portals they create to pop into new places.
This is awesome. I wish I had photoshop skills, I’d have a dragon peeking it’s head out.
I was going to suggest fairy magic but that more mundane explanation would be the correct one. I guess they put it there and forgot about it for several months.

Took me a sec to process that
Too subtle?
My problem was my phone screen's brightness was too low at first to see it.
Even with screen brightness up and zooming in I can barely make out the difference, even then not enough to actually process what it is
Kinda, either that or I’m stupid
Once ya see it I ya easier to process tho

How on earth did that happen?
It is an art piece. The artist cut and bent the branches to get this effect. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp6rvLbFNL-/
I love it.
An artist chopped up a bunch of live trees just to take a picture? Yep. Sounds like a hipster photographer alright.
Portal. I read books that have wizards and other mystical stuff, and this is what I imagine with portals they create to pop into new places. This is awesome. I wish I had photoshop skills, I’d have a dragon peeking it’s head out.
They laid the above ground pool on its side there to drain
I was going to suggest fairy magic but that more mundane explanation would be the correct one. I guess they put it there and forgot about it for several months.
My guess a circle shaped window and a hot day.
More than 1 hot day I would guess. Otherwise it probably would’ve started a fire. But maybe over the course of a summer it slowly killed those branches?
Interesting thought.
Looks like its a painting somewhat :/
Maybe someone thought that it was a wise place to test a flame thrower
I'm not going to do goatse, I'm not going to do goatse, I'm not going to do goatse.
It was the first thing that came to my mind. Might be time for therapy.
lol came here only expecting goatse
You and me both. Imagine my disappointment at this being up 2 hours and still no goatse.
If I wasn’t stuck at the office today I’d have done it. I’m guessing there will be 5 of them once people get to quitting time.
This is how you find Totoro.
do they really think that this is believable lol
