2.5D Parallax Photo Animations

I have a collection of 20 still images that I need to bring to life with a smooth 2.5D parallax treatment. The final animations will be cut into a larger video project, so each piece has to feel cinematic, with believable depth, gentle camera moves, and seamless edge refinements – no obvious layer splits or cut-out artefacts.

I’d like the parallax work done in Adobe After Effects and delivered as lossless MOVs (30FPS at resolution of the original images) ready to drop straight onto my timeline. If you prefer pre-comping assets inside a single master comp, that’s fine. I also require the AE file so that I can tweak timing later if needed.

Photographs vary between 4K and 6K resolution (still JPG files, various resolutions). Please preserve that detail: no down-scaling. Each animation should run roughly 8 seconds, and include a subtle push-in that accentuates depth without looking gimmicky.

Acceptance criteria
• All foreground, mid-ground, and background separations are clean at 100% zoom.
• Camera movement is smooth and free of warp-stabilizer artifacts.
• Output matches the original aspect ratio and resolution.
• Project files are organized (clearly labeled folders and comps).

If this workflow suits you and you have showreel examples of similar parallax or depth-map animation, let’s talk and get these images moving.
