One more question about simulated army
Before I go ahead and do a bunch of work I wanted to run this by you people. I have the army setup using Card Wipe. I used stills of soldiers. I was wondering if I set up a duplicate of the Soldier grid i created in Photoshop, but this time in AE and with moving video and then applied the Card Wipe can anyone see any problems? This way I think I could get more realistic results with the effect.
Thanks!

I’m glad you asked, I’ve been wanting to try that for a long time. And I found a short cut for creating the grid of little soldiers (or whatever figure you want marching).
Go to Dan Ebbert’s tutorial, -
Hey thank you both, this is awesome! I don’t use expressions all that much, my little brain and math don’t get along that well.
I tried it like you said and the problem was that I used footage that was 720 X 486, which threw it all out of whack for size. I ended up creating a new comp at a small size brought in the footage scaled it down pre-comped it then brought the pre comp into the dot comp and replace the layers.
I will use this definately!!!! Thanks alot!

We will be shooting the tests soon, I will post some stuff when I start on it. I have been doing some tests on some stills and making the simulated army and it looks pretty good so far but matching grain , etc. will be the real test with the HD video. Thanks!
