How to do it: Shoot your photos at an equal distance away from your subject in a semi (or full) circle. Once you’ve captured the magic, load these shots into Adobe After Effects as an image sequence and apply your Warp Stabilizer. If you want to apply a stop motion effect on a moving subject, repeat the above steps with your subject moving in equal distances while you shoot in place. As always, the more time you invest into perfecting your shots, the cooler your final result will look.

How to nail it: Take multiple shots for a smoother, more realistic animation. Next-level your shots by using string and chalk to mark off your exact distance from the subject each time.

How to do it: Think of a fun scene with an element of motion—something that would translate well when played back in reverse. Film your clip using the Super Slow-mo feature on your Galaxy device, then choose the reverse playback option. Some dramatic scenes, such as throwing something in the air, benefit from being shot in slow motion—so try playing with that idea, too.

How to nail it: Keep certain elements of the scene consistent, and include lots of distinct moving objects like liquids, vehicles, or in our case, flowers.

How to do it: Shoot multiple motion clips while changing out a single element each time. For believability, shoot continuously and lock exposure and focus so your lighting is consistent. Once shot, use an advanced editing app like Adobe Premiere Rush to cut your clips at the same point in each motion, color correct and combine them side by side to create a seamless motion. Repeat as necessary for multiple changes in your scene.

How to nail it: Quicker motions usually work better and help make the edit look more believable.
