I would've done that in an actual 3D program if you want it to look really good. it's not that hard, either.

[TimelessFuture]

@TheFXGuy Yes, I guess that is true.. Now I have more experience in 3D animation, I might do it differently.. But I still think it takes less time to animate a 2D photo than to do it in a full 3D program..

[TheFXGuy]

@TimelessFuture Obviously it's easier, but like I said, not as accurate.

how do you add vanishing points?

[whiteboinoob]

you just save them out as .psd the standard photoshop format. Then you can directly import them into after effects, there both adobe products it gives the user the ability to cross platform if they choose.
