Here’s a pretty good/basic puppet tool tutorial—it’s not the most intuitive effect.

I’m wondering if they did that in C4D, it would be pretty easy to add clones to one spline, add a random effector and then have them move to a second spline.
Not sure it can be done with particular, maybe Trapcode Form. But with particular, I can can’t see how you would get the particles to return to a different shape.

What particle systems are you using?

There are quite a few, the trick is learning how to control the camera well.
If you go to the link here, Andrew Devis Tutorials
There are 5 really good tutorials on cameras/setting up 3d scenes. They are about halfway down the page:
Panning Large Scenes Using Target Layers in 3
And a 4 part series: Working in 3D Part 1: Setting up a 3D Scene

Probably a few ways to do this, but one method would be to create your logo and place it where you want it. Create a solid, place it below the logo layer(I do this just so it’s easier to see my work) and apply a radial gradient to it. Make the center white and the outside a gray color. Move the center to where you would like your logo to be white, then move the gray end point so that the white fades out pretty quickly.
Pre-comp the gradient layer and add a “Set Matte” effect to your logo layer. Change the “Take Matte from” Layer to your Gradient Precomp and “Use for Matte” to the Luminance Channel.
Here’s a quick example project: 7816_logomattefolder.zip

Looks interesting Roland. One thing, I would suggest is perhaps a short overview video showing how it works in practice, like you see with the motion monkey tools. Doesn’t need to be comprehensive, but just a sense of how it works/controls/features would be cool.

Pre-comp the text and the paper jpg together, then apply CC page turn to that composite.

You didn’t correctly link the second picture, you need to select the picture, and then copy and paste the embed code.

Few different ways to accomplish this, but I would just key the green screen footage and then add a glow effect. Change the “Glow Based On” to Alpha Channel, select my glow colors, glow radius and glow intensity. Finally I would change the “Composite Original” to On Top.
