I actually know most of what your talking about. I never played with the camera match. I'm looking at getting better at 3d Max for the sake of helping the team more. I am more proficient at Lightwave from Newtek. I like it beter, but I'v been using it for 8-9 yrs so I'm bias. They are both the same quality of program - which I classify as mid level professional- high end would be something like Maya which is 2-3times the price. There's really nothing in between so they are still extremely good. then there's the High end cosumer and those low end shareware versions of stuff.

I figured everything was 2D-but wanted to make sure. Mattes are great for seperating the elements of the image. you can create objects pass behind the trees an in front of the buildings. simply create mattes and apply it to an object then animate the scene, ie bird fly through. you can get pretty complex using these techniques. that really keeps people guessing. Id love to see your writeup. I plan on our team doing the same thing. theres a lot of complex ideas passing by in our piece that probably went unnoticed. thanks again.
