Okay, how was this done? it's driving me crazy!

Thats very clever, but was probably done in post. Using a high res camer (like RED for example) its possible to rotate a 2k or 1080 HD frame inside without the corners showing. They probably just had the reel centered in the middle of the frame and just rotated it in post in time with the reel, maybe using motion tracking to keep it accurate.

Nice effect though.
 
I'm thinking motion tracking as well and I was messing around in AE earlier trying do something similar because I was bored and
I just don't get it. I don't even want to use the effect but when I can't figure something out it gets personal. :Drogar-Love(DBG):Thanks for the reply. I am going to email them to see if they will tell me.
 
I did this effect a while ago, pretty much the same thing.

I shot this HD 16x9 and then put it into an SD 4:3 project, scaled it to 100 percent so it was much bigger than te frame, then just keyframe rotated it. This way, you dont get any black corners creeping in.

With the new cameras with 4k frame size, its possible to do this and end up with a 1080p HD frame size without the corners creeping in.
 
It's done pretty much exactly as stated above....

HD inside an SD frame with rotations and transforms tracked to objects in the scene. IE. Pivoting around the chandelier where the Chandelier becomes static in the frame while everything else moves.

No doubt. I just would not know how to do it in AE. I'm still learning the program. I can do basic stuff and copy off of videocopilot but that is beyond my skill level at present. But I was thinking of ton of cool sh!t i could do with that for fun.
 
This should help:

The technique is called motion stabilizing. Usually it's done to take jitter out of unwanted camera moves (and more) but in this case it's applied to objects in the footage that we want to stabilize. This tutorial should get you on your way

And should you need more help in the motion tracking dept.

there are a tone of free tutorials on all things after effects. Categories on the top right.

Hope that helps.
 
great example of a rather simple concept and technique used very very effectively. thanks for posting this link. i love the video.

Thanks for the links!
 
But most likely AE wont be able to handle that type of tracking without a lot of manual intervention. If you have CS4 try Mocha for AE, as a plannar tracker its much superior to AE trackers. Actual 3D trackers will give you the results you need.
