I've seen this technique in a recent documentary and wondered how to achieve it; the camera pans over a still photo with some characters in the foreground and some more in the background. As the shot tracks over the photo a different perspective is revealed and we see behind the people in the foreground (hope I've explained this correctly). I guess it must be achieved with layers but how does the 3D effect work?

It's all in the wrist action...

items are cut out and moved at diffrent rates and blurred as rquired... so gives the 3d efect

Z said it right, very succinctly. :)
Peeps often use AE for that kind of work, and tons of tutorials on the technique out there. I do it in Vegas sometimes.

Hi, i was doing somthing similar a few days ago in AE and photoshop, taking 2d photos, distributing to 3d layers and animating. Andrew Kramer has done a really easy to follow tutorial here http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/virtual_3d_photos/
There's almost a hundred of these turuotials now, and they are a must for getting into this stuff!!!

Great tutorial but will have to watch it a few times.
A bit vague though on how to move the completed project it into and animate it in 6.5.

Cheers.

After completion of project you can create a Movie in AVI format and import into Premiere.
