you’re in LA. get the yellow pages and call a prop or costume shop. shoot the actor on blu/grn screen with and without the wings, use wires if you have to flap them. much easier and probably beter looking than any bird wing compositing or 3d solution.

i’m happy they reworked the interface (long overdue), and i’ll upgrade, but i would be ecstatic if they had reworked the audio and the necessity to render and rerender the audio everytime you change and preview some minor video adjustment. the current audio scheme easily wastes as much time as the clunky interface. the audio has always seemed makeshift and is a real weak spot in an otherwise amazing application. some of the new features seem geared to particular user groups but everyone would benefit from an audio fixup.

i could never establish ecactly what the qtime problem was, only that 7.0.3 wouldn’t render a section of the after effects projects that qtime 6.5.2 had no problem with.
if it helps, the files in the afx project at the trouble point were a couple of pieces of moving illustrator 10 vector type, a precomped series of 3 photoshop stills, an after effects type layer, a photo jpeg codec stock footage clip, and an animation+alpha codec quicktime being keyed, and a 44.1k aiff audio file. there were no non-afx filters or effects, just afx color correction. my first suspect was the stock footage, but it seemed to play fine and was ok at other points later in the project.

i’m not sure why, but i think you need to save the illustrator file as version 8.0 for it too work properly.

it’s an interesting look, but at the service of what message? personally those commercials and the pseudo-cartoony people creep me out. additionally, i just don’t get the point of the visual metaphor or the internal logic of the look in those spots. what is it’s function, or what is it supposed to communicate about the product and the customers of schwab? that they are cartoons? that they are flat, unreal, cut-out kind of people? are we supposed to identify with these cartoon people? or is it just another gimmicky faddish look that schwab thought might keep people from hitting the clicker within the first 5 seconds. in the schwab spots it’s seems to me to be a very ugly and clunky fit between medium and message. someone at an agency probably thought it looked “really cool”, but it’s really just lame.

just wondering, do you put the 864×486 square pixel comp into a 720×486 square pixel or a .9 pixel render comp for your final render?

that’s true.

that’s true.

predictable, lame music, bad typography, bad color sense, icky flickery grawdoo. i’m blown away.
