    I’m not a mod, but Im pretty sure I can field this one.

    Well, if its for the big screen, the resolution is definately too low at the size you just specified. Keep in mind that simple Mini-DV is at 720×480… so you do the math 😉 If its going to be outputted to 35 mm film, I recommend a minimum of 1080×720 for resolution.

    As for your second question, duplicate the layer that contains the footage of the city. Rotate 180 degrees and make sure that both horizons meet.

    Mask out the water in the Duplicate so that you don’t have water showing up in your original cityscape 😉

    Now, make your duplicate layer like 10% transparent or so. Now add DISTORT—-DISPLACEMENT MAP. In the settings use the original cityscape footage as your DISPLACEMENT MAP LAYER.

    Change the Horizontal and Vertical displacement to Luminance and play with the settings until you get everything to your liking.

    I think that should pretty much do the trick.

    The short version of it is : loopOut(type=”cycle)

    Yup, makes sense.

    If you have the time and budget its always better to do it the real way instead of creating it from scratch

    Looks like stock video footage of whatever those plants are, probably taken from Artbeats or getty, then they added the little eye thing and then Shine on top to give it that shimering light.

    They also probably used a displacement map to accentuate the movement.

    Well if you want the same settings as AE is importing it in as, just drag the clip thats in your project bin onto the NEW COMP icon, it’ll create a comp with the same settings as your clip

    Thats a darn good question. I’ve always had to avoid shooting feet when greenscreening cause of lighting/shadow problems

    Looks like alot of greenscreening, tracking and alot of artwork mashed together with alot of digital camerawork.

    I don’t think there’s anything super complicated in there… just alot of work involved.

    Oh and lowered levels+colors replaced for the actors.

    Its highly unlikely, but have you tried turning off the autosave feature?
