How would I re-create this effect? (physical paper cutouts made to look animated)

Here is a video of the effect I am trying to replicate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGvNHFRIO08
They use physical paper cut-outs (you can see the shadows and outlines in a few frames) but it almost seems animated -- the first time I watched it I thought they were green-screening the background.
How would I get rid of the outlines around the cut out pieces of paper? I'm guessing it would involve increasing the contrast of the background dramatically, but not the hands?
Just looking for ideas on how to get started. Thanks!

Shooternz, you know what this is like to me? Lets say we both have guitars and you play some eric clapton thing I love..and I watch what you do and hear it, and love it, and for the LIFE OF ME can't DO IT MYSELF !!!! So I am hanging out with you ( friend ) and you show me and even go " SLOWER" with left hand to show me what you're doing with fingers on frets, etc...and I little by little follow you along and litte by little get better and better at mimicking what you are doing...but also get into it re: my timing etc...
I WOULD BE LAUGHING during this whole thing...
1) cause I love the product and wanna make it
2) cause I know you're helping me
3) cause I know I'm an idiot trying to learn something new ...
4) cause I love those who are willing to teach
5) cause they love laughter too...
Anyway, that's how I approach most everything I'm sharing with people...
unless I get ugly ...I'm working on that aspect

How can I re-create this effect??

I'm very interested in creating something similar to the animation in this video at about 1:28:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6P0YpDw3n0
Please note the video was done in Google Earth Pro, and is showing in 3D. It's not just Google Maps.
I've done a lot of research though and am conviced the car and line animation were not done in
Google Earth Pro. I'm assuming it was done in AE or something similar. I've looked at Motion Tracking,
and 3D Camera Tracker, but neither of them seem to be right for the job. Anyone have any other ideas?

Here's exactly what I need, but I can't figure out the first text group to be "flipped".
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/280996/text2.aep
Is this possible? Am I not able to animate text OUT character-by-character starting from the LEFT?

Can anyone explain how to create this effect in Deamweaver and Fireworks?

This site was oriinally done in dreamweaver - but the shadow
effect was done
outside of Dreamweaver. When I save to html and load into
Dreamweaver it
makes no sense to me.
Can anyone explain how to create this effect in Deamweaver

How do I create this effect?

Hi, I have been searching on tutorials to produce the attached effect, but the problem is, I don't know how to describe it and have very little experience printing on fabric. I'll be submitting a vector image to a production company for printing on silk, and would like to create an effect similar to the soft-edged coloration in the ice tea and umbrellas. I tried feathering but there dosen't seem to be an option to feather one side of things. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance - Julia
Bonus question: Does the linetype look basic, with the fabric altering the edges or does it look like a custom line type?

What you show looks like a simple pattern of 3 pictures.
I’m pretty sure that the fuzzines is either due to poor printing or poor photography or both.

Cool effect..how can i create this effect on Motion 3?

that's great.
Someone please tell me how can i create this effect on motion 3?

Use the bezier tool to create your shapes, give the shapes an Airbrush outline. Then apply a Write On behavior to each shape. Position the shapes in the timeline so they appear sequentially. To achieve the zooming out effect, you can either scale the whole group, or convert the group to 3D and use the camera to zoom out.

Can anyone offer some advice i am looking to upgrade the OS system on one of my macbook pro's, currently running os10.4.11, I would like to upgrade to OS10.5? how would I go about this, and is there a cost, for what is an old operating system now?

Since your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.

Took my phone to the Apple store this week and they told me it was a hardware/screen malfunction. They replaced the screen for free since it was under warranty. Now it works fine again!

I have CS3 Design Premium for Windows on an old laptop but want to switch it to my new Mac, how would I go about this?
Do I have to pay for an upgrade to CS6, then somehow switch the license then download to my Mac? Also, I'm a student so it would be a student priced upgrade.

You can either upgrade or move to Creative Cloud. But since you’re a student an upgrade does not exist so just pick the student version you want and go with that.

How would you create this effect?

I am curious if there is a fairly straight-foward away of creating the effect seen in this image. I am talking about the pixelated effect made up of many little red boxes of various hues at the top part of the image.
I was thinking of zooming in real close to an image in photoshop and doing a screen capture, but I'd rather have a vector image that can be easily scaled in size and easy to change the hue to different colors.
Something like this able to be done in illustrator without building it a box at a time?
Regards,

Well I'd say that PDF is a vector.
The PDF contains nothing other than a raster image. It contains no vector paths.
(By the way: "A vector" is a single expression of a direction. Calling a vector-based illustration "a vector" is like calling a raster-based image "a pixel.")
I zoomed in as close as I could and didn't see any pixels.
All you could see is pixels. That's all that's there.
If it's raster I'd be interested in knowing what resolution...
Its resolution is 1. It's a single-pixel raster image (as given away in its title).
I've never experienced a raster image that didn't get more pixelated the larger you scaled it up.
Yes, you have. That's exactly what I demonstrated in post 5 and in the PDF.
The operative word in your comment is more pixelated. That misconception is the point of the demonstration. Your image is already pixelated, and that's exactly what you want. It won't be "more" pixelated whatsoever, no matter how large you scale it.
At the heart of the [quite common] misconception is this: What you are calling "resolution" is not. True resolution is the measure of the amount of information contained. A raster image contains only a fixed amount of information. PPI is merely a scale factor. It's merely an expression of information density, not quantity. As you can see, that PDF is every bit as "resolution independent" (i.e.; scaleable) as a vector square.
The same priciple applies to your raster image. Your whole intent in your posted example is to display pixelation. So if the very thing you're trying to depict is the pixelation of, say, a 10 pixel x 20 pixel raster image, then all you need in order to depict that at any scale is a 10 pixel by 20 pixel raster image. At a scale of 10 PPI, you've got a perfect depiction of 10 square Pixels Per Inch. At a scale of 200%, you've got a perfect depiction of 5 square Pixels Per Inch (i.e.; 10 Pixels Per 2 Inches). You can scale it to the size of the moon and you'll have a perfect depiction of 10 Pixels Per Moon. It's just as scaleable as a 10 x 20 array of vector squares.
In other words: All the actual resolution of your raster image (all its information—all its pixels, in all their squareness) is already visible. Reducing its information density (by scaling it larger) will not reveal more of its actual information (the square shape of its pixels—the information that one usually wants to conceal or disguize about raster images, but not in this case).
The whole purpose of making sure your raster images have "sufficient resolution" in desktop publishing is to disguise the squareness of their pixels (what is commonly called "pixelation"). But that is exactly what you are intending to depict in this case. And you want to be able to depict that with equal clarity at any scale. There's no need to re-draw it as vector paths in order to do that. In this situation, you are not trying to avoid "pixelation," you are trying to show it, which is exactly what a raster image does by its nature.
Think of it this way: If all you are trying to draw is 200 squares, it can easily be argued that a raster image is more "data efficient" than a file containing 200 square vector paths. For each vector path, you have to include four coordinate pairs (800 anchor points). For a raster image, all you need is 200 color values.
This is not just a symantic or academic or pompous know-it-all point of argument. It's a point widely applicable to many common situations, and something every graphics professional should understand. For example, consider the software instructions author who pointlessly frets over the misunderstood "requirement" for pixel density when his illustrations necessarily consist of screenshots that are, after all, supposed to accurately and clearly depict what the user sees on his screen. Or the fact that you see single-pixel raster images scaled to the full width of the page, or dimensions of a table cell or large section of a whole background on web pages everyday. Or the widespread misconception that intentionally fuzzy raster effects like soft drop shapows "require" 300 PPI.

How would I create this effect in PhotoShop?

I essentially want to create the effect of the person in the window with the rain, but I can't seem to get it right, any tips? Many thanks in advance!

I only have an image of the person who will be in the picture and the following image of rain on a window.

How create this effect...please help newbie

I saw this effect on the website template at templatemonster
and was wondering if someone knows how to create this or has a
tutorial how to do it

I like the way the blocks transition from one pic to another
any help would be greatly appreciated

Just as Wold says...
You would be surprised how primitive are the methods behind
some really spectacular effects.
Just a bit of imagination and patiences, such masking
consists of lots of layers and tweens,
for many simply discouraging... tho once you do few, it
become quite easy.
Based on Wolf's explanation, made quick mock up of the
masking for you:

How do I create this effect? HALP!

I am currently making a movie that in one instance requires a 'home video effect' aside from filters, etc. I would like to add a "REC ()" symbol near the bottom of the frame, how would I add this to a clip?

The easiest way would be to add a title in one of the corners - make the text red and set it to the duration of the video.

HOW CAN I CREATE THIS EFFECT????

Does anyone know how create this awesome effect??

email me please

you can just have everything in an entire H box or V box with
a "move left" and "move right" function, that moves the X
coordinates once the button is clicked.. should be as easy as that.
to make it smooth like that you'd need a few extra components but
shouldn't be that hard.

Not just this effect but pretty much the same effect he has running through his whole portfolio.
Im assuming he uses textures and clipping masks? not too familiar with the process at all as im a beginner..
Thanks in advance guys

Need Suggestions to Create this Effect

Using Premiere Elements 12 on Mac, I want to create the effect of a wallpaper showing ballet dancer images, then having them appear to "dance" where they first appear. I have not been able to figure out how to insert active gifs to do this. Would welcome suggestions. Thanks!

SpockNard
This is the short version for now.
Have you given any thought to capturing freeze frames from your video and going from still to video when you want the dancers to animate?
Not sure if this is the type of thing that you are after but please check out my PE: Perspective Effects blog post
