pretty sweet

Sweet, thanks for the suggestions. Freeform is awesome; I went through a tutorial to make a flag wave, but I have a feeling to customize it for my needs might be a bit tricky. Most of the stuff in the tutorial I never even knew existed.. After Effects gets deep, but that’s good.

Page flip effect is very clever. I think this will be my route.

Thanks!!

Wow, Newton looks absolutely amazing. I’ll try to pitch this one and hope for the best. I saw they have teacher and student prices so I emailed about whether they have a non-profit discount like adobe does. we’ll see.

Also, sweet idea about dropping actual books and frame matching. I have a feeling that this is more in our budget

We kind of fumbled around a bit, but I think we found a good way of doing it, for me anyway. We had a general idea of what we wanted to do, but weren’t sure about details, mostly because this is the first thing I’ve ever done in AE and I didn’t know what I could figure out by this Sunday.

I roughly put stuff together, mostly to make sure I knew how to do what we wanted, we kind of paced it out, out loud, then he made a soundtrack accordingly. He gave me the full file as well as each individual section so I can customize it. Hope it goes well.

Thanks for the advice

Perfect, problem solved

Thanks

wow, the trapcode suite looks awesome… unfortunately that suite is considerably more than the price of the entire CS5.5 Production Premium suite (non-profit license), that I’d been pushing for, so I probably don’t have a shot at that. I’ll keep note of this because I want it for myself, when I finish my internship.

I’m planning on pitching around $200 total, $250 if there’s something that seems really worth it. I might pitch $300 if it really seems like a lot more for the extra, but it would be a stretch. I’ll keep checking out sales and free demos

[Paul Boone]

Wow, these look awesome. There’s a lot to choose from. I know that the Red Giant packages that were $500-$800 I’m almost positive are out of our budget. Digital Juice looks like its got a pretty good sale going on in January, so that might be a good option to get a couple of those. Its a bit overwhelming of a decision; Walter, your post is exactly the kind of summary I was looking for. Really helpful. I’ll go and get a bunch of demos and compare.

I think typography will be our most common use, but I suppose that could really mean anything, since you can put text into any project, style, or whatever.

Thanks

also, optical flares would be bomb
