What transition plugin did they used?
I find this reel so cool specifically the transition between the video clips and the text. What particular transition plugin did they used here:
or simply go to belief.com > work > commercials > Starz Find the Edge
From a movie clip the camera would zoom out and the clip would disintegrate into various lines (in 3D space) then revealing the text. Could it be replicated in any native plugin in after effects 7.0 pro? tweaking “card dance” plugin settings would do the trick? any suggestions?

Hi Manny,
Personally I think it was designed in a 3D application. It just seems that Belief have exceptional control over such elements as particles, 3D text, background etc which at that level would be very difficult in AE. Now, that’s not to say you cannot get something like this in AE. I would research Trapcode’s Particular as it would be able to easily create 3D lines that form a word and allow you to zoom around it with a camera. You could even fake the movie transition part by using the lines that Particular creates as displacement and then just fade across. I just think a 3D app will be able to go that extra mile to make that effect really shine.

To me this looks like the effect I see where they create a bunch of shapes in 3D like a cloud of cubes (or thin cylinders in this case) and project an image onto the shapes. Then bake the projection (or just use camera projection and parent the cam to the group so the texture locks to it). Then with a seperate cam shoot it from the exact angle from the cam projection then orbit around it. So that from the dead front it looks like a front image then as the cam flies away you see it break up into bunches of shapes in 3D.
Here’s a tutorial on one person’s version of it using 3D MAX:
