Designing Scene 1 - Opening Book.

I have been looking for possible images and files that i could use for the opening book sequence. Here are some images of my book work i did to get to the design together for the opening of the book.






  • To create the 3D book i had to use photo shop to delete one of the page from the double page spread on the paper design. This was very simple, i used the pen tool to draw around the page i did not want and deleted it.  
  • I then imported the page photoshoped file - click retain layers. I imported the image of the book cover.
  • I made a new composition DV PAL square pixel, 1024x526, square pixel, 25fps.
  • I dragged down the two book cover images and named one - top cover and the other bottom cover.
  • I did the same with the paper but i dragged one down - i moved the anchor point to the middle of the left hand side, and i duplicated the layer 5 move times so i had 6 of the same pieces of paper, same size and same anchor points.
  • Layer - New - Null object - and place the null objects centre point on top of the paper's and the covers centre points.
  • Layer - New - Camera - 50mm is the best setting, it shows a replication more like real life.
  • Make sure the 3D icon is turned on, on all of the layers and then start key framing the different parts until you are happy with it.
