3d video cube thingy...

Hi all,

I have some experience with AE but am far from an expert and would appreciate some pointers for a project I am planning...


The Idea...

Bascially I am creating a some content for a promo video for a new website and wish to create a 3d cube object - each face of which will contain video (actually animated web pages).

The cube will turn and spin on its axis in different directions - with some nice acceleration/deccelaration... and each face of the cube will succesively come to fill the screen and a few seconds of footage will be played...

Ok, perhaps not the most sophistacted of effects - but tough enough for me ;)


My plan was...

to create 6 square comps and then build a cube in 3d space and parent the sides so the whole moves as a cube - simply the animating the parent so the children follow...

When I am happy with the animation then ill import the footage into of the 6 each comps (ie each side of the cube), add a few lights, some motion blur and voila!

Hmmm, at least in theory :s


Any tips/gotchas/tutorials would be really appreciated..

Cheers

Nelly
