How to accomplish this effect…
One of my producers has an idea for a weather promotion where we are looking at the skyline of the city, then shadows are cast over the city. Clouds and snow follow as the whole city seems to shake. The camera pulls slowly out to reveal the snowglobe we’ve been looking into and a child holds it out still shaking it. Ambitious, yes, but I think I can pull it off modeling the city in XSI and serious compositing and tracking in AE. I don’t have any camera tracking software but I would plan on going from the CG snowglobe to the real one at some seemless point. I just wanted to put this post out there and see if anyone had any ideas that could help me out and point me in the best direction on how to handle this.
Thanks -

I would rethink the project, stylize it instead of trying to make it a single or continuous pullback. If you have the 3d chops then go for it but I’d just build the appropriate pieces in AE and have a transition where the viewer sees it’s a snowglobe.
Hope you get better advice, I just tend to look at these things from the perspective of “What do we know is do-able?” instead of “How hard can we make it?”

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
