Brandon is also learning how to do some parallaxing. Cool elements of this project include using the Clone Stamp and the Content Aware mode to "fill" in Adobe Photoshop. He got the image looking awesome, made in 3D one in After Effects and then goofed around with "puppeting" until he figured out the movements he wanted. So cool!
