Sorry if it's the wrong forum, but this seems graphic enough. The Float On music video. Can someone help me find out how it was made. For example software used, techniques, etc. Modest Mouse Float On Music Video on Yahoo! Music Video
Simple. All they did was make a 2D video with a 3D studio. They didn't add the third dimension to the program. So basically it was just a paper pop-up, with actions.
The opening with the box opening to the video was probably some advanced Masking Technique. It can be done with Sony Vegas 8.0.
