7. Parallax is creating an illusion of depth
You create layers and make them move in relation to each other: Layered motion
Create an illusion of circular motion:
Make 3 layers: the bottom most one goes in one direction, the topmost goes in the opposite
direction, and the middle one stays there. So, it appears like it’s a circular motion of camera
