Hi,

I really like this effect:

Intro Carnival - YouTube

Can someone point me in the direction of a good tutorial that would show me how to create this? I'm fairly new to AE, so a good basic tutorial would be much appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Hi Jerry, The good news is that it is all fairly basic After Effects. These are a bit old but should give you the general idea:

If you are a beginner you might want to go through these as well - very old again but short and to the point:

Well, at the core of it, you would be generating a bunch of objects for the cards at the beginning and then literally it would be flying your camera through a 3D environment with all those objects rigged up, finally landing on your end piece and dissolving the back off.

Its a fairly simplified explanation, but allow yourself to work through some tutorials to get the feel of the application. After you feel comfortable with the 3D aspect of things, the majority of the legwork for this sort of comp would be rigging everything up in 3D space as you deem fit and then flying a camera through it.
