I apologize for the obnoxiously long URL. Our website is in something of a limbo right now and I'm trying to figure out FTP stuff.

I hope you enjoy the commercial.

Hi Joshua,
I notice the commercial is not available anymore, Is there a way i can have a look at it again. My email is dennisrobinson1@bigpond.com

What I like as well is the transition of the letters Ink Toner Service -> IT´S

Dennis - it's been uploaded again at the bottom of page one (the WMV file).

Fantastic!

[QUOTE=Joshua Clarke;689050]Dennis,

My initial thought was that there would be a way to do it in After Effects or with Motion or some other program I'm not entirely familiar with. We settled with a rather lo-tech process through CS2. We exported the take as lossless PNGs and extracted a still of her as a layer, and just moved it along with the frame, keeping it attached to the inside corners of the matte with Distort. I'm not entirely happy with this process, as I'm sure there was a much easier, less time-consuming, and more accurate way of doing it.

Hi Joshua,
Can you please explain how you did this more thoroughly. I am not a novice but need to understand a lot more. If you can point me in the direction step by step it would be fantastic. I have already spent hours on this but havnt got it right. I really want to be able to do this. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Is there anyone else who can chip in with ideas how this is done.?

Here is a videotutorial that explains a very similar effect. It's done with Fusion but I think it can be made in any other VFX application (Shake, AE, Nuke...)

Try it from there. Is the tutorial number 23. Instead of clicking on it, use the right mouse button and Save as... . I've just tried it and works fine

Thanks Jordi, downloading as we speak.
