    Did you try rendering a Quicktime movie then playing in Quicktime Player?

    Use effect>time>posterize time in a 25 fps comp.

    No.

    There is no detail in the faces on the tape. It doesn’t exist. If you make the footage darker, you’ll just get gray blobs.

    This should have been corrected on set, by adjusting the lens aperture. Sorry.

    Each person may or may not be wearing the next/previous person’s clothing underneath, but it’s clear that there’s a mask that was drawn frame-by frame at the edge of the grament that’s coming on or off. If someone is pulling something up and off, you draw a mask around the clothing, following it up as the person removes. You then have the footage of the next person below. If the next person is a little too wide, you have their arms behind the back, or use something like bezier warp to make them narrower, gradually getting wider as the upper layer clothing is removed.

    And the talent would be shot on greenscreen, with the background added later.

    Basically, it’s rotoscoping, which is drawing a mask by hand.

    No, it doesn’t matter.

    Yes, of course. Import the footage, then drop it into a DV (*not* widescreen) preset comp, with pixel aspect ratio 0.9. Scale to width (cmd-opt-shift-H).

    If you have trouble, make sure the footage is interpreted with a pixel aspect ratio of 1.2 (file>interpret footage>main) to make it widescreen.

    Posterize Time keeps time running at the same speed, but holds and skips frames to make a lower frame rate. Your footage would still look slow.

    Couldn’t you just speed up the footage? (layer>time>time stretch)

    To find out how a spot was done, assuming the info is on the web, you need to Google as much as you can about the spot until you get the name of the agency, post house or director. The Google again, using those names until you get an article on the spot.

    Not in AE. You need a 3D matchmover such as Boujou or Syntheyes.
