How did they do that??

[WildViper]

I am sure by now a lot of people would have seen these ads..the ads where there are people holding pictures and all of a sudden it changes into live motion.

How do they do that?? It looks so flawless....

My vote goes for this as the AD of the year. Pretty awesome ad....though I hate HP printers and HP cameras..

 

[Rickten]

the one set to the cure - pictures of you is better.
Yes those commercials look very time consuming.

Some solid color frames that you can replace with pictures later via computer, some scene splicing, it doesn't seem too complicated. Just need some video/picture editing skills.

not complicated.... maybe. but sure needs a lot of skill, not to mention time.

to have thought of that in the first place...

Thanks for the link. I really love those commercials, especially the one with the guy sitting at his desk (the Cure one?).

I agree, ad of the year, easily. Awesome work.

Really?! Somewhere, someone has a $23,000 HP printer. At work.

I love those commercials but I prefer the one where the guy is sitting at his desk and keeps picking up the frames and putting them around his neck and stuff. It's much faster moving and just looks so much cooler than the ones where they are just doing random scenes.

Try it sometime big boy.....
It's not that easy
Frame by frame Computer generated effects
Using croma key cards

Boris red might do it
After affects could probably do it.
Commotion could also do it.

It probably was done on an Amiga.
