Oops! I misread the question lol

Hehe that was good, especially liked the mirror part, and the way the end credits came in as the car went passed.

aha the predator effect I see lol, quite good

You need to use keyframes, sorry I'm no use at explaining things - but search on how to do keyframes maybe!

PS. That link didn't work - try this instead -

Well I can't really tell you in a way you'll be able to understand - being new to AE myself - but you'll need a blank shot of the background - with no people in, then use masking to mask out the areas of the wires and show the clean footage behind.

Yes, but alot of people cannot afford 3D software / or can work it to that standard.

Thanx for the guide, but I still couldn't see (once I removed the greenscreen on the bullet) where the bullet was in relation to the background footage? Guessing I didn't do something correctly! Think it would work well though, I actually just tried this, but ended up using AE to move the bullet usi...

My mistake, it's known as 'waking life look' - well the idea of the cartoon anyway, I think - based on a programme called Waking Life?

That was pretty kool yea, isn't this known as the walking life look?

I'm sure you could just basically use AE or another program to do what you did in Photoshop but apply it to the clip instead of a picture.

Yes, just do it after in the editing program. Then you can play about with it more and get it how you want. You won't be able to have as much control with a lens - not to mention it will cost money (most probably)!

Guessing it's some kind of space colony - looks real neat tbh, would be good if it was in a movie.

Yea that was pretty neat

Really don't know then soz, maybe just try converting to avi again using another program (vdub etc) - unless anyone else has better ideas (which they probably do!).

Hmm, strange, I've had no problems importing the AVI which I captured with WMM. Are you using the actual AVI file WMM created or a saved movie from WMM using the captured video? Hope you understand that question. I use the DV AVI which is captured (by finding it where it saved it to), just exit WMM ...

It's called interlacing. In Premiere go to the video options on the clip and select 'always deinterlace'. I think!

Woo that's great, been looking at doing this to some photos but other tutorials never really provided the result I wanted, might give this a go!

Ah thanx, lol, also found -

... and I can only see 5 tutorials on that site... lol

Couldn't find many tutorials on PIllusion but this one seems to be OK -

Wow the 3D effects were really kool, thought sometimes the blue screening did look kinda fake, but was great!

I actually capture with Windows Movie Maker... Should be in Start > My Programs > Accesories under XP. Just capture on full DV quality and it's fine to import into Premiere. For some reason, Premiere doesnt recognise my camera all the time, didn't install the drivers and could never be bothered to u...

Now why didn't I think of that...? lol :miffed:

Yes, I wouldn't even think about masking if actors were going to be over the windows. You may be able to tweak the colours after to remove a green/blue tint on actors but it may make everything else look out of colour.

Wildam - play about with the tolerance levels until the blue disappears totally. You mentioned Premiere but not AE? Don't think you can do bluescreening on Premiere (well, if at all), correct me if I'm wrong? And he doesn't want to impose a house onto a beach, he wants the beach to be visible throug...

I would actually suggest just... 'borrowing' one....

Does anyone here use Particle Illusion? And if so - do they have or could make a breaking/shattering glass emitter? Otherwise I think I'm going to have to learn how to make the emitters myself...
