I did have all of the photographs, though. The reason I had originally played with the idea is part of a long, sad story involving my wedding and an out-of-focus camcorder that resulted in my not having any usable video of my wedding (in 2008).

Update: This Google Colab notebook by Manuel Romero is much faster and easier to use, with a handy widget to upload files, process images in bulk, and download all the finished animations.I had been fiddling with creating these 2.5D parallax animated photos for quite a few years now, but there had recently been a neat post by Joe Fellows that brought it into the light again. Change the input/output filenames, and click the play button to run the final command again.
Try this, and let me know if you get stuck. If you’re unfamiliar with Colab, it can be a bit intimidating. I created a Google Colab notebook here, which will let you process images on Google’s GPUs entirely in your browser.
Sadly, Apple phased out CUDA support in Mojave, but there’s an even easier way to play around with it. Unlike the Spleeter library, the Ken Burns 3D library requires using PyTorch with an Nvidia GPU with CUDA drivers.

On Monday night, researcher Simon Niklaus finally got permission to release the code, posting it to Github with a CC-NC license, allowing anyone to experiment with it for themselves.
This new technique uses deep learning and computer vision to turn a static photo into a 2.5D parallax animation in seconds, using a neural network to estimate depths, render a virtual camera through space, and fill in the missing areas. Last September, a team at Adobe Research released a paper and video demonstrating a new technique for animating a still image with a virtual camera and zoom, adding parallax to create what they call “the 3D Ken Burns effect.” Here’s a typical tutorial, showing the time-consuming and tedious process. Traditionally, a video editor would use Photoshop to isolate the photo elements on separate layers, fill in the removed objects to complete the background, and animate the layers in a tool like After Effects. For years, filmmakers have used 2.5D parallax to make static photos feel more dynamic, as in The Kid Stays In The Picture, the 2002 documentary about film producer Robert Evans that popularized the technique.
