"More Than a Game" Trailer - Great 2.5D work

I've been seeing more and more of this 2.5D work lately, where stills are roto-d out and placed against a background plate, then a camera view is set up and moved to make it look as if it is a 3d shot instead of photos against photos. This is by far the best example that I've seen yet though.

I was hoping to work the Halo ODST trailer into my first post somehow, since it was so well done, but couldn't think of a way. Any ideas? I've seen a list of credits and there had to have been at least, if not more than a hundred people that worked on it. Crazy, but I guess that's what you have to do if you want to have millions of sales of a $60 game.

  1. This is how powerful the roto-still/background plate thing is: I am clueless on video and even I notice how great that looks and how compelling it makes the image and overall story. Wow.
