Colorama. Only use 3 colors, white, black and a mid range color of your choosing.

No, in our office, all the desktops are Ethernet and all the laptops are wireless. They communicate fine. However your speed bottlenecks to what the wireless can give you. If I go between 2 G5’s I have a very fast transfer, but say from a G5 to a laptop, slow because wireless is involved.
I personally wouldn’t use the Airport as a router only as the wireless bridge. It’s not really a good or reliable router.
I would get a linksys router/4 port switch. Your DSL/Cable comes into that. It does the IP allocation. Then plug the airport into a port and your G4 into a port. In the base station settings, turn off the ‘dynamically allocate IP’ option. So the base station becomes a simple wireless transceiver.
Then for extra reliablitly, I would set the 2 comps to have manual IPs.

You mean an LCD, no?

So to understand this: You set up your comp on a wireless router. Do you give it a manual IP or do you let the Router dynamically allocate it for you? But once your machine has an IP you load the C4D server and you show a 0.0.0.0 IP? Describe what you mean you can’t open network settings. You mean when you go to system prefs, the window just won’t open?
If set right you should be able to use wireless, however it will be considerably slower to move large files like video images over wireless than over ethernet.

Did you turn on that advanced 3D in the prefs? The basic 3D uses a box blur instead of what appears to be a gaussian.

Which effect? BGs are CG environments with actors shot on greenscreen to lay over them. The color amongst B&W is also keying and working with mattes but AE has a quick simple solution called ‘leave color’.

to what effect and quality? Is it comical? It can just be a simple cut to some stock smoke. Is it realism? Does the person need to break into layers that burn and incenerate?

nice. My first impression is that the audience and performers on stage are way too dark and lo contrast. I know they are supposed to be in a wash of light, but there should still be a lot more contrast me thinks. Same with the last guy, I’d bring up the levels a bit on him.
My overall thing is that it had more thought into the technical than the look or goal. I admired it as a nod to much bigger spots of the same technique (which probably had a LOT more people and money to work on it). But thought it could have used a bit more thought about color scheme, look, and flow. Seemed like there was a lot of dead black space for my tastes.
That being said for a cheap, quick project I give you a lot of kudos for a great entry.

That would be the same as a straight alpha then, no?

Did you create a camera? Without a cam, the view is orthographic (no perspective). Create a cam and set the focal length you want.
