Well, if i have the band members masked out I can make the background a seperate layer. I would apply the CC ball action effect and this will transform the background layer into balls which i can then animate (rotate on an axis, scatter, etc.) Is there a way i can make this layer in which i have applied this effect wrap around the layer with just the people i have rotoscoped out thats in front of it. Basically, is there a way to make a layer that is behind another one wrap around the layer that is in front? Does that give more clarification?
