Take multiple photos at the EXACT same level height, a few inches apart. Open in Photoshop and drag the layers into one image. Align images so that key features of your subject are in alignment. Here is a great written tutorial from adorama.com
Open the Animation window and place each layer in its own frame. Experiment with the time delay. Save as a gif, to your my DP folder and reply to this post with your animated gif.

“At Vimeo, we celebrate all types of videos and video makers, from the totally novice to the completely professional. And while we love a good HD tilt-shift bokeh-filled underwater timelapse video, we also love simple videos of everyday moments, caught on the fly with small point-and-shoot cameras or cell phones and uploaded with little editing or post-production trickery. These types of projects challenge Vimeans to pay close attention, push their personal boundaries, and feed off one another’s creativity.
Over the years, we’ve launched numerous video projects that champion this more candid, off-the-cuff style of video making. Here’s a look at some of our favorite super-easy, super-fun projects, which will hopefully inspire you to go out and start shooting!:
Vimeo Weekend Project – Swish Blog Part Deux
The Swishblog was born on August 15, 2010 by veteran Vimean, Justin Johnson: vimeo.com/14190590
The Swishblog uses the technique of quickly tilting the camera up or down to serve as a transition between clips.
Step 1: Hit record and quickly swish (tilt) the camera up.
Step 2: Continue to record your beautiful clip!
Step 3: While you’re still recording quickly swish your camera up again.
Step 4: Stop recording.
Step 5: Repeat steps 1 through 4 until you’re satisfied.
When it comes time to edit, simply stitch the clips together through the swishes to create your Swishblog. Here’s a video that should help explain the technique:
