beck black tambourine video
i don’t know if anyone has seen beck’s video for “black tambourine” but its a simple concept that i’d love to know how it was executed. i’m sure they used something more than AE, but does anyone have any ideas as to how something like this (a character or something else) being created using things like letters, etc?
here is a link to the video

a friend of mine used a similar technique in an awards video. basically he exported his video as a series of still frames and then used a pict to ASCII text utility (you can probably find one on tucows) to convert the images. he then copied the resultant ASCII text into illustrator files so that he could zoom in and out of frames.
easy, neh? bear in mind that this will work best with subjects shot or keyed against a white background and that to do it for 30fps over several minutes would be a mighty tedious endeavour. perhaps you can figure out some clever way to batch the process.

maybe… create the text in AI or PShop, import and set the video as an alpha matte to the text.

Steve found this link. Looks like some stuff in there that should work:
