    hi everybody
    i would like to make a 30 seconds clip and it could be for the web or film
    i want to have the scene start dark and camera goes up against somebodies back and shoulder and then showing this person throwing playing cards into a hat and camera follows one of these cards that makes it to the hat ,then zooms in and it shows the name of the company
    any idea how it is done or what plugins i need for this
    thank you very much for any help

    A really good 3d animation artist?
    A really good camera motion control system like a jib and a crane.
    After Effects is not part of the general production except maybe for the animation you would do on the logo but you don’t say anything about those palns.

    AE might work on your last card effect but you’ve still got shoo the rest of the scene. No special plugins required. Just lots of time and practice.

    Unless you are going for a more cartoony look. Then you could use a still of the guy’s back and his arm/hand and animate those throwing playing cards. Or if you want more realism shoot a guy in front of a green screen and maybe add the cards in AE. Then fake the camera move following your fake card. The hat part might be the hardest part. Maybe change it to a table.
