Yes, I think I might be out of my depth here.

I think it has to be mostly stop motion but we are allowed to bend the rules slightly. However, I don’t think i have the time to learn After Effects…I was hoping to do that in the summer when I have some time. We don’t need to use it until next year, its just that I couldn’t think of another alternative to do these techniques.

Photoshop is a good idea, so would i just add the graphics frame by frame on Photoshop, and then import it to Flash? The problem is…i don’t know how I would make some of those 3D sequences (yes the effect I thought of would involve a person turning 3D, kind of like in Terminater. I always think of the most complicated option….). And making graphics move behind a person…i thought that could only be done on After Effects? There is still so much I need to learn, which annoys me because it is holding me back.

Also….you mentioned rotoscoping, I’m stil not sure what that is but i have had a few practices. Five days none stop doing it and I still can’t get past the basics. I suppose that is to be expected though…but i have loads of other assignments to do so I have had to leave it for now. I think I will stick with Photoshop, but I don’t understand how some of these effects would be done on there?

Thanks for your help =]
