tips on creating a 3d stage for a music video?
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with how i can create a simple stage for a band in AE. i was thinking something along the lines of a creating a cube made of solids but wondering what a good workflw would be so that my system doesnt bog down for little things. I already have my video clips lined up, just need to make them look spicy. probably some slow camera moves lookig from outside will be the extent of the complexity. might use aharon rabinowitz colorama tutorial to jazz up the walls a little bit. any suggestions would be appreciated thanks

If I was you I would design in pieces of the stage in photoshop in square pixels, then bring them into AE and arrange them into a stage shape as 3d layers. Key out the band members, and place them onstage as a 3d layer. You wont be able to place the camera at much of an angle to the band members or else people will realize that the band members are a flat plane in 3d space and the illusion will be ruined. You could try setting the later with the band members to “Auto-Orient to camera” to make them look at the camera always but you still wont be able to view them from an angle far from the side. Also, try adding in a crowd using this tutorial: <https://belief.com/stage/index.php?section=process&project=02.Zoom%20Network%20Launch&id=01.How%20To%20Make%20a%20Crowd.800×600.mov&width=800&height=600>
Good luck.

Hi
[Bobby MV] “could you post that crowd tutorial?” -
excellent tutorial… how can i create that look he used for the word “zoom” ive seen it used many times in music videos, is it a specific plugin? also, where can i get those assets like those movies, im on a time crunch here and not really the creator, much better at just animating.
