Pieces of the Ae Puzzle

I've been watching these tutorials over and over again. I've been picking up on small pieces of information and trying to put this big picture of after effects together into a frame of mind I can understand. I had that moment today when the pieces of the puzzle come together and you can see some part of the picture and you understand a bit more than you did about 5 seconds prior... I think its called learning. And what I learned is that I can put masks in motion, and that masks can go over not only still images, solid colors and textures like in photoshop but motion videos like this one.

(well I can't find what i'm looking for on youtube but I'll Post here when I do, ok move along)

You'll be able to attend the classes according levitra 40 mg hartbuildersinc.com to your time and convenience.
 

This next video is a great, and probably the best, example of what I mean by putting masks in motion. Its Apple's iconic ad campaign for its Ipod product. The video shows the artistic progression of the commercials from 2004-2008 and its really cool to see how creative the videos get towards the end. The worst part of the video is when U2 - Vertigo plays twice. So I suggest skipping thru the video and you'll get my point about the artistic progression.

Now I don't know for sure if this video was made with After Effects but I can definitely visualize how it can be made in After Effects using the Rotoscoping Tool. I wouldn't mind doing some sort of project where I rip off this idea of moving people with solid colors and motion shapes in the background. Something to think about. For now I'm gonna look into this rotoscoping business and find more pieces to the puzzle.
