How I met your mother - Intro

Does anyone have any knowledge about how to put something like this together (see below). I realize I need to Photoshop the files I want to use to get them ready for a job like this and cut out whatever I want to use.

Can Motion do this with layering. Any guidance on putting a piece like this together would be awesome. I figure there is a tutorial out there for something like this. I just can't find it.

Any help would be really appreciated. Link to the intro is below

Motion 3 can do it.

The disc that comes with Studio has some basic instruction on working with 3D. You should probably get one of the new Motion books when they become available.

I will check out the tutorial DVD. thanks for the help.

Anyone else spot a tutorial for something like this - especially the "flying through" photo effects. Here is another example of what I am looking for.

That's a map in minnesota. Your best bet to achieve something like that would be to consult with Rand and McNally. :-)

oops. Try this one!

stukes,

This is a pretty involved process utilizing hi rez stills & Photoshop to cut out foreground elements, put them on their own layers, painting the background layers to fill / close gaps, spread them out in "Z-depth" and animate a camera around the space. I am not yet on Motion 3, but I do this all the time in After Effects. There's no plug-in for it...it's a lot of work

See if you can pic the still shots from the footage

When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

Thank you for the input. I was afraid that was the answer. I am definitely capable but I was just hoping some thing was easier. I image I can pull this together in Motion, because I am not an after effects user.

I guess it is off to experiment.

How did you find this?! Extraordinary. Digital Juice has and explanation for how this is done: see CUTTING CLASS, Moving Pictures. [www.digitaljuice.com]

I think 3d Studio Max or Maya is up to it.

You'd have to break up each and every picture up in
photoshop and create a 2D object for the cutout in 3ds Max;
and then position all the 2D elements for foreground and background.

It would be a pain to do; but it has been done!
