Inspiration for Project #1 - Gamefly commercial

Dan and Slaughter are doing a spot that was inspired by the Gamefly commercials. Here's one of their spots so you can see how the Gamefly folks used a split screen technique to deliver video messaging along with Motion Graphics.



I created a quick demo of how to replicate the way the game cover art rotated around and faced the camera. This is done by setting up the images as 3D layers in a circle around a 3D Null object layer. You then select all the images (but not the Null) and go to Layer > Transform > Auto-Orient and select "Orient Toward Camera." This will tell the selected image layers to face the camera no matter where they're placed.
