Have you seen this? I looked for a link to post so you can see it but I couldn’t find one... it’s the one of the animated man. How did they do that? Is that an effect of some kind or is that a true animation? It looks so cool, I’d like to try it...

It'a an effect on live-action. I think Earthlink was the first to do this a few years back.

is there a way to do it on premiere pro? do you know what its called?

Are you talking about the ones that are animated Waking Life (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/waking_life/trailers.php) style?

yep, thats it... can i do that with premiere pro? if not, is there a plug in for it?

Well I think it's a specific software that they are using. It's basically just rotoscoping.

i'm sorry.. but can you plz explain? (noob)

No prob.

Rotoscoping is basically taking a shot and tracing the lines. Older animated films by Don Bluth used rotoscoping for human characters. Recently it's become a technique used heavily in digital effects, to cut out and unnecessary back ground stuff. If you go to that page I linked to and watch the "DVD Extra: Bob Sabiston's Animation Tutorial" it'll explain it a bit better than I can.
