    I believe they mention this in the commentary for this movie – and I think I also heard this from some FX podcast, but what I believe that they did for this and an earlier scene with similar zooms was to get three cameras mounted on the same piece of hardware and shoot the scene/camera move simultaneously with all three at multiple levels of zoom. Then, in post, they digitally transitioned between these wide-mid-close shots.

    I’d recommend the DVD, btw. Zack Snyder does the commentary, and it’s got some pretty good stuff in it.

    Bitterness is a messy thing. It’s doubly dangerous because it doesn’t come out of nowhere – it starts off with a legitimate reason. I’ve been dealing with it myself. It can and more than likely will ruin EVERY good thing about your job. You will look back and say, why didn’t I see all the good that I experienced there?

    No matter what you choose to do, quit or stay, I URGE you: deal with your anger and bitterness first. If not, this cycle will just keep repeating itself.

    I believe that Rex Crowle’s GRIP WRENCH series is animated in after effects.

    Create your “spreading gel” animation however you desire, and isolate it to your talent’s body by using track mattes.

  • You might want to look into Planespace (https://www.redgiantsoftware.com/products/categories/motion-graphics/planespace/), for dealing with precise 3d arrangement of objects in after effects.

    I may be betraying my ignorance…but…

    How the heck are you running Windows XP on a PowerPC chip? (And where did you get a PC that has such a mac-centric chipset?)

    Am I missing something?

    I was getting this recently…basically it means you do not have enough RAM to render this comp. If you search the forums you can find alot of answers…but as this JUST happened to me, I’ll throw my solution in: are you pushing an effect past its limits? For me, I was pushing motion tile past its limits. Turned it down, and used two of them to accomplish the same thing as one giant one, and all was well.

  • If I understand you right, then what you’ll want to do is create a null, make it 3d, then move it to the same position as your figure. Then parent your flags (which should also be 3d) to your null object, and spin the null.
