December 17, 2006 at 11:46 amIf you’re talking about the disintegrating logo thing on the big screen, it looks like Shatter was applied to one layer of the logo, with other copies of the logo below. Multiple layers were used. Beyond that, there would have been a fair bit of experimentation to determine the right combination of layers shattering and not.
That’s my take on it, anyway.

December 17, 2006 at 7:38 pmYou need to somehow quantize your image and that can be easily done using Card Dance, Mosaic or CC Ball Action. Then apply a grid texture as an inverted matte to get the gaps. How you proceed from there is pretty much up to you, but do not forget that in the clip they use a 3D program and use the footage as a animated texture. You won’t be able to get something as spectacular with vanilla AE.

December 17, 2006 at 11:07 pmHERE’S what I came up with.
The matte for the screen effect was made from Fractal Noise set to block and the complexity set to 0, then scaled. Then I made a black grid to match it. The gigantic 3D screen was made with multiple layers of the footage. I used an expression with a slider to adjust the curved bevel around the edges.
Place your footage in a comp. Lable it Top. Make a new mask for your desired shape.
Duplicate the Layer. Lable it Bottom.
Add this expression to the anchor point.
thisComp.layer(index-1).transform.anchorpoint-[0,0,3]On your top layer change the mask expansion to -70
Duplicate the Bottom layer and lable the duplicate middle. (Make sure the layers are in order: top middle bottom)
Create a null layer, lable it curve adjust. Add a slider. Set it’s range from 1-2. Lable it Curve.
On the middle layer add this expression to it’s mask expansion
curve=thisComp.layer(index-1).mask(“Mask 1”).MaskExpansion/thisComp.layer(“Curve Adjust”).effect(“Curve”)(“Slider”);
[curve]Now duplicate te middle layer about 15 times and adjust the curve.

December 17, 2006 at 11:48 pmTake it one step further I just added the mosaic filter to the mix. Now it looks really nice.
In the segment matte I set the fractel noise layer to multiply and placed my footage below it. Then I added the mosaic filter to the footage and adjusted it to match the grid.

Pretty cool and easy too.
