Hi there,
I'm attempting to recreate this effect in AE with footage-
http://www.flickr.com/photos/snarfo/119870372/
I rotate the footage 180 degrees and increase the interpolation, but unlike PS, AE bends the footage "inwards" on itself, rather than "outwards" to achieve the globe effect. I apologize for the non-technical language :).
Would greatly appreciate any suggestions or solutions, it could very well be something totally simple!
