Don’t understand your question. I’m working with a series with rigging photoshop characters/animals out of stills. Look at the tutorial on animating a walk cycle, but don’t look at it for the walk cycle, look at it for the RIGGING/animation aspect.
“getting that hot new 2D animated look for video footage”?????????
can we compare it to anything? its ENTIRELY to open ended of a question.
also, look into MOHO — i haven’t had the time to really work with it, but some examples are AMAZING -
eating cucumber sandwiches?
-
cockroaches with bonnets and bows on?

…c4d base/advanced render/tgp and proanimator 4 — these programs with AE can quickly and efficiently create NICE text animation….
Proanimator allows you to hammer out animation quick right in AE.
Cinema allows you to take it a step further with photorealistic renders if need be.
You must remember though, that a lot of post houses aren’t using c4d yet. Or atleast thats what I’ve been noticing — in my neck of the woods (philadelphia area) they’re all about lightwave/maya. -
you could divide it into peices with 3d stroke — but it definately would not look very flat.
Or even some clever bezier warping…stongly recommend using a 3d application. it’ll take less time and look better.

just get the free one, it’ll allow you to import into after effects.

Problem kind of solved…
export out of Toast 7 (who would have thought?) to an MPGEG4 to compressor to the Meridian .mov….

maybe put in a light where you’d want the text to sit in cinema (dump the brightness) and just use that as a ‘reference point’ for the text in the ae project….

syntheye has a direct ae 2d track output

the flip4mac free plug in works well with .avi files…and with .wmv files…
I don’t know how relevent that is, but it might help.
