Re: it is not cc page turn what is it then? by rjf e:613 on May 18, 2007 at 9:27:44 pm
on the first effect:
Best results will be a 3D program. You're right, it's not CC Page Turn. You can do a simple turn (not a curl) by using Card Wipe, but then that's not the look you're going after. You may also be able to get a similar look with Zaxwerks' new 3D Warps plug-in:

I don't have this plug-in so I can't help you there. :(
On the 2nd effect:
How familiar are you with After Effects? The distortion is handled by the displacement Map Effect. Click Aharon Rabinowitz's picture above and scroll way down to find his 3-part tutorials on Displacement mapping. You can also go to Ayato@web for inspiration but the examples he uses (while the best on the web) can be hard to decipher:

3D would be the way to go. If you don't have that. Try something like this. (I am currently in a 10 hr AE render right now, so I can't test anything I say.) It seems like you could get close by using 2 separate layers. Use cc page turn on the first layer. When the page turn gets half way through, do a quick dissolve to the second layer. You will need to do a reveres page turn on that page. Might need to precomp it then reverse the speed maybe even flip it horizontally(text would need to be mirrored if this is the case). Use lots of motion blur or force motion blur. Thre might be some type of limitation, but worth a try.
I only used cc page turn once. I think there is a setting to direct an image/layer on the back side of the page. I am not sure if cc page turn flips just the layer, or the entire comp size. If it's the latter, I don't think my idea would work.
