I just posted a news item about the studio who did that commercial:
https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/105/858345
While it doesn’t give away any trade secrets, it does say they use …”unique blending of 2D photographs and 3D environments”…
So you might play with animating your various axes and see what happens. I saw the ad the other day and thought it was a really cool effect.

I wrote Jayse and told him what had happened. He said he’d just checked and thanked us for letting him know as he was able to fairly quickly correct everything.
So all is well for now.

Well, I found this page and went through the steps they have listed:
https://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401528&sliceId=2“Error “Licensing for this product has stopped working” when you start any Adobe Creative Suite 3 application
Issue
When you start any Adobe Creative Suite 3 application, you see the error message, “Licensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help.”
If you receive the error message, “The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically,” when you open an Adobe Creative Suite 3.x application, then use the information in “Error when launching a Creative Suite 3.x application: ‘The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically'” (Technote kb402004).
Solution
If you did not receive any errors during installation, then perform these steps in the order given.
1. For an incomplete installation, follow the steps in knowledgebase document kb401401 (Windows) or kb402151 (Mac OS).
If you received errors during installation, and you’ve never been able to open your CS3 application, then the installation is incomplete. Please follow the steps in Technote kb401401 (Windows) or Technote kb402151 (Mac OS).2. Move or delete the cache.db file.
Move the cache.db file from the follwing locations, onto the desktop or another folder. You can delete this file, but if you do, you’ll need to enter your serial number the next time you open your application.On Windows XP and Windows Vista, the cache.db file is located in Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache
On Mac OS X, the cache.db file is located in Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/cache
Try to open your Adobe application.3. Move the Trusted Storage File (TSF) out of the FLEXnet folder.
Move the adobe_0080000.tsf.data file onto the desktop or to another safe location from the Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/FLEXnet folder (Windows XP), ProgramData\FLEXnet folder (Windows Vista), or the Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/FLEXnet folder (Mac OS).Important: Do not delete this file.
Try opening your Creative Suite 3 application. If you still cannot open the application, then continue to the next step.
4. Rename the FLEXnet folder, under the appropriate folder.
Rename the Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/FLEXnet folder (Windows XP), the ProgramData\FLEXnet folder (Windows Vista), or the Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/FLEXnet folder (Mac OS), to \oldFLEXnet.”So, in both cases it took me to an activation screen and said activation was successful, but I still get the license expired dialog box and so Encore won’t open.
I guess a call to tech support is next or …. any other suggestions?

Perhaps Dean has updated his file. I just downloaded it and it wouldn’t open in 6 or 6.5 as it said it was made in 7.0. I was able to open it fine in 7.0. I also opened it in CS3 and it did tell me that it needed to update to the newer version, but everything was fine. No warning.
I would try downloading it again.

I no longer have 5.5 loaded on this machine, but I just looked in the 6.0 folder and the naming convention has changed.
In 6.0, it’s named: Basic 3D (Note the space) whereas in CS3, it’s called: Basic_3D.plugin
So, what happens when you click yes to use the default? Which project file are you looking at? If I have it, I’ll take a look for you.

Aharon currently has 63 tutorials in the library — with more coming. That’s a whole lot of free tutorials.
But that’s not all. We have a total of 336 After Effects tutorials. From the basics to extremely complicated.
All Free.
Did I mention, FREE?

All right!!! I was worried as I had planned to bring dessert. No one has mentioned dessert, but, hey, life is short… right…
eat dessert first!
Anyway, I thought I’d bring my famous “Death By Chocolate”. Sort of goes with the Undead thingie…
Although, I’m not sure Ron and I would actually make it if I brought the “Death by Chocolate” mousse cake.
