How about an R2G with several CC Cylinders included (or have the entire collection based on Cylinders). Include a LOT of placeholders so you could have a 'wall' with 10-15 frames. Maybe it's not that hard to do--I've been checking some on-line tutorials on it, but having it done by DJ would be way better than trying to learn how to do it myself.

Hey Jerel -

The effect is not that difficult to do. The only thing to be aware of is making sure that the initial "wall" itself, in terms of the width, is 2-3x the dimension of your overall comp. I ran into this problem initially with my Christmas promo video I did and once I made the wall 3 times the overall dimension of the comp and filled it with placeholders (it my case, images) - once i applied the Cylinder effect, from there I was able to control how much it wrapped (curvage, if you will) and then take off from there. If you make it too small, it will wrap itself up in a sense and won't you give you the look you're after.

But I'm with you, if there were premade comps, that would definitely save some time. That was the only thing that was time consuming for me - was the initial creation of the wall I did in Photoshop. I've made another one myself with videos actually on the wall, which looks pretty sweet and have created several virtual sets - but like you said, if they were pre-made, I would jump on that as well - just from the time perspective.

I have tried finding tutorials on how to create that too. I can't find them anywhere. I would rather DJ add this to a Ready 2 Go for AE.
