If you haven't had the chance yet, check out the ProAnimator video tutorials and they will cover some of the basics of Poses. If you are more familiar with After Effects, you can consider using 3D Invigorator Pro, which uses the After Effects keyframes instead. For background elements, you are able to do that in the current versions. As long as you have the Illustrator elements for backgrounds, you can import them into ProAnimator/3D Invigorator to use as a background. In the newer version, it will be more convenient to create backgrounds because we have a drawing tool built in. This means you can draw simple, or complex shapes directly within the program, and have those shapes be extruded immediately. Hope this helps. Best, Edward Hi James,

Also will you be able to create your own backgrounds in the next version? This is why I wanted a tutorial on the above video.

Then, import the grid shapes into ProAnimator, and they will be your screens. Next, apply a video onto a texture map, and apply the texture map onto the screens. The screens should each be playing a section of the video. For the text, you can just create 3D Text, and animate it where the text flies towards the screen. Apply reflective materials onto the text, and you should be able to get the same effect. Best, Edward Hi James,

Great visual outcome. Will re-post this on my blog..... Great tutorial, loving the ability to split the shape in order to assign different materials. Great visual outcome.
