This entry is part 3 of 5 in the series Elemental Combat

Twice a month we revisit some of our readers favorite tutorials from the archives. In light of this weeks Elemental Combat Series, we are going to repost this tutorial from back in February to complete the week out.

This tutorial has three main parts. It covers the panorama background plate for the scene. It does NOT cover the rotoscoping of the actor (grrrr). Then, the jump is animated with Action Essentials II dirt footage composited in. Finally, the “camera move” effect is demonstrated from an intriguing zoom to epic wide angle!! Get your Jump on!
