I have a client that wants to take some video footage and get an animation effect like in the movie Scanner Darkly (was also used in a series of commercials - I forget the company). Is there possibly a video filter for After Effects or Flash or another software altogether that would recreate this effect on a series of 5 minute videos? If anyone is capable of doing the work, feel free to private message me to discuss subcontracting of the work. Thanks!
