Hi scott I aso work for a news station WPXI Pittsburgh.
Your animation looks good. I made a project exactly like this before for a promotions contest.
I can tell that you understand ae pretty well.

Here’s an idea:
make 2 precomps, one with (the perfect wedding type) an a comp with just the invitation and make them 3d layers.
allign the 2 precomps between your 3d envelope layers ( flap inside front and back), then add a null layer with the
3d switch selected. parent all the layers to the null and add a camera. before you animate the null nudge the back
of the envelopes z position so that you see the back side when it flies in. The null does the fly in and all the layers
can still be animated without moving the camera.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Michael, that’s a good idea Jayse.

Thank You Colin and Jayse.
Most of the broadcast design work I’ve done has been for a local news station.
Even though I get lots of motion graphics projects to work on it’s usually the same
subject. I’m open to any type of work (designing or compositing) I feel it’s time for me
to take a chance and market my skills. I was planning on showing before and after
on only 2 or 3 things in some sort of lower left box with text, that plays at the same
time as the fx video.

I like Snarfies #1 with kettle. I think all the ideas that show the popcorn or
the kettle work the best.
