The Osbournes Intro Sequence effect
Hi all,
I’m trying to create the kind of effect seen on the intro credits at the start of the Osbournes, and other TV shows where you see a clip of video, then the picture freezes, and the main person or object on screen is cut out and has a slow zoom, while the background changes to something else like a blown up picture of the same person. Anyone know where to find a tutorial for something like this? I’m sorry, but I don’t know what this type of effect is called! Any help would be great.
Cheers

It’s mostly done with masks. If you took a clip of say Ozzy. Just take that clip run it, then switch to a freeze frame at a specific time to make it look like it stopped on that frame. If you want it to zoom in from there, animate the scale on the still frame to zoom in a bit. Use a mask to draw the outline of Ozzy and use that mask on a solid or use the mask to isolate ozzy from the background and place him elsewhere.
The way to do it is extremely simple, it’s really just a matter of mapping out your plan, defining your look and timing to make something nice.
