3D Photoshop - 3D Filmstrip Collection In Production

The next collection, 3D Filmstrips, is underway. I was having way too much fun with this as I started realizing how just 'one' 3D filmstrip can create hundreds of unique images.

All of these images came from the same 3D filmstrip model. I only changed the camera rotation for most of these images. The gold film strip was created by adding a yellow hue to the reflection image.

The frames and sprokets are in a Illustrator Smart Object so the size, shape and frequency can easily be customized.

I've seen dozens of tutorials that show how to distort images onto a filmstrip. The next version of this model will have a template to copy and paste your images directly on the filmstrip. Is 3D for Photoshop great or what?
