See this: http://www.adobeevangelists.com/aftereffects/The3DPIctureTrick.pdf

It can be done in almost any movie editing software. You might try doing a google on Ken Burns effect.

thanks a lot guys :happy:

hi,
I agree with swampy, use a good video editor program....
what there doing the pictures...
1. most of the pictures all there doing is just zooming in.... and a little panning effect .... and in one picture there using a rotating effect... and these special effects stuff can be done a video editor.....
2. i think in one or two of the pictures, for example the one with the crane where the crane relly stands out.. either that was done initially with the camera setting or photoshops was used.... but after that the video editor does the rest on zomming in...
3. now there was one picture where it looks like the shot was moving around around the builldings... ... .. not quite sure how that done... i have to take another look at my video editor....i may have overlooked one of it special effects... to the picture taker took several shots and then put them to gether...

the video editor needs to be a good one, not all have the same special effects feature... programs like ulead visual studio or adobe premiur,, not sure about proshow gold.... and there other very good editor programs out there... that have these special effects...

The "Ken Burns effect" aka pan and scan, is principally a 2d effect. You scale the image and use keyframing to control the motion of the viewpoint. Later improvements to the technique added the pseudo 3d by extracting elements of the image and moving them as you panned to simulate perspective effects. You can approximate this by keyframing the individual elements, but it gets tedious. After Effects is generally used for this kind of effect because you can establish the depth and position of the individual extracted elements and render the view from a "virtual camera" that you move and position in 3d space. This is the technique described in the link I posted previously.
