Making eyes like in the movie Cars

I am attempting to make eyes on cars like in the movie Cars. Which will also be lyp sync to have them talk as well. I thought AE would be the place do it all. However, It may not.
I started thinking on the Mask approach of it, then thought what about eyelids? In the pic you can see the shape mask for the whites of the eyes... Then adding another solid and make the Pupils, eye lids.
I would like to think production on this since the eyes are identical I would like to be ablt to just make one eye Duplicate it, and reverse it to fit in the other side. I then thought I should maybe make my assets in AI or PS to import and flip as necessary. Thoughts on this challenge? Using AE or is this too much keying for AE and I should make it with ToonBoom (Which I do not care for although I own the software) Plus having to bring it back in for lip sync and blinking when reacting to the Voice over...

Hi man,
some completely off topic links - off topic, as they dont cover the type of animation you are looking for here, but worthwhile, simply because I think they are awesome, and would love to use them myself!

    how to have multiple images on the same screen? like in the movies where you see several actions at the same time ....
    i don't find  a tutorial in adobe tv....
    thanks !!

    The short answer is that you'll put the source clip(s) for each inset on a different video track, all stacked up. Then use the Scale and Position effects (under "Motion" on the Effect Controls panel) to reduce their size and place them where you want.
    If the content of an inset will involve edited content (where you're cutting among various clips or just trimming out unwanted content from a single clip), then you'll probably find it easier to do all those edits in one sequence, then nest that sequence in the master sequence, where you apply the Scale and Positioning effects. That will save the step of applying the scale and position effects to each edited track item.

  • HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

    Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?
    Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
    Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

    I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV.  So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
    Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine. 
    So it seemed to work.  I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

  • Making the move to vista

    I am making the move to VISTA on my primary development machine.  I develope in LV 7.1 8.0 and 8.21 concurently.  Is there any issues to be aware of?  Many clients will still run the software on XP and a few on 2000.  Will daqMX and Labview compiled programs work seamlessly.  I would like to hear about similar experiences so I can mentally prepare for the troubles ahead, or not if we are all lucky.  I gave it 6 months.  I have not found any issues yet but have not distribudet my code to cilents either.  Have I made a mistake?

    On three machines it worked one client it did not. I will try setting the compatability, do I do this with the vista machine and send it with the mode already set.  There is no daq and the 8.21 runtime is on the machine.  I dont know what could be different on the client machine.  the code which froze was purly user event, no daq, no tool kits, no communications, no analysis in this part of the code.  Are there some visual effects or something else which could have been set by my vista PC that some XP boxes cant handle.  The code does load and begins to execute but hangs on this popup vi.  Very weird.

    Movies are not one of the items you can reload via iClould like apps, music, and some other items.  You can contact iTunes and request a redownload,.  They may give you one.

  • I have a new iPad Air. Can I use plug in USB camera reader to have a load of movies etc on an external hard drive and then plug and play so to speak. I'm off on holiday and haven't got the capacity to have everything on that I'd like for the kids

    Can I use a plug in USB camera reader to have a load of movies etc on an external hard drive and then plug and play so to speak? I'm off on holiday and haven't got the capacity on the iPad to have everything on that I'd like for the kids.
    So basically I want a hard drive with X amount of films etc on. Can I then watch them on my iPad?
    Hope this makes sense.

  • Since updating to iOS 8 my iPad 4th Generation wont synch any media like music or movies, just artworks of the music I already have

    Since I updated to iOS 8 my iPad 4th generation my iPad wont synch any media like music, movies or TV shows. It always starts to synch like any normal iPad but just when its stars to transfer the movies, music or what ever new media I want to get on the iPad, it instantly restarts the synch, and the only thing it does is synch the artworks for the music and movies, but I does not transfer any media. I have restored my iPad 4 times, nothing different, I have reinstated iTunes on my PC 3 times, nothing changed and I dont know what to do.

    Hi
    I am having problems downloading 2 purchased movies. Cars 2 & Toy Story. I had it on My iPad, then after a while the movies would not play. I went to the apple store and they deleted it and told me that all I need to do is download it again. I tried what they suggested at the apple store, but I am still not successful. It continues to tell me there is a download error. Please help! Need these movies for my 3 year old!

  • I rented a movie on an iPad mini while connected to wifi. Now I'm in the car with out Internet and when I try to play the movie is says "could not load movie" what can I do? I purchased it from iTunes and let it load fully before leaving.

  • The movies from my Iphone 5 are not coming across on Apple TV. The little spinning beach ball appears like it is thinking.  It use to work but quick working a month ago.

    The movies from my Iphone 5 are not coming across on Apple TV. The little spinning beach ball appears like it is thinking.  It use to work fine but quick working a month ago. I mirror from my phone to the Apple TV.  Still images and everything I do on the phone is mirrored on to the TV except when I want to show a YouTube video or any video and then the screen on the phone and the TV screen go black and the spinning beach ball appears.  The videos open right up on the phone if I do not have mirroring on and going through the Apple TV.  I just downloaded the latest update to the phone it did not fix the problem.  Please help.  Thanks, Elvis G

    Hello Elvis G,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps concerning device issues. You may want to consider a reset, then testing to see if the issue is resolved:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • I am in switzerland and would like to download movies to my iPad but all the movies available seem to be in German? How can i download movies in english?

    I am in switzerland and would like to download movies to my ipad but all the available movies seem to be in german? How can i find the selection of the movies in english?

    No, you need to be in the UK with a UK billing address on your account to use the UK store
    You can try requesting that the English language versions be added to your country's store (you've checked to see if the film's description page says if it has alternative languages on it ?), but unless the film studio/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell them there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

    By the way, I just purchased this movie last night.  I somehow deleted Cars while the other parts of the bundle were still downloading.  I tried looking into iClod but I was unable to find a link to download the movie again.

  • HT1498 Apple TV Rented Movies Very Slow to download, Like 2 hrs or more, was around 2-3 min to load and start the movie, Its NOT my provider? as other movies from other sites down load in a short time

    Hi Guys
    Over resent weeks the down load time for the Appel TV Gen 3 has gone very slow, To the point that you can not watch the movie as it does but buffer and you have to stop about every 15 mins. I have a fully cable internet at 100mps or more. Other Australian sites down load movies in 2-3 min at worst and often can stat and play thought in 1 min 30 secs.
    Apply TV was not like this in fast month to April, But May and June are Not Good

    Have you verified speed via speedtest.net ?
    Have you checked at different times?
