How to create video intros ?

[forare]

Hello all,
I’ve just seen a friend's wedding video and the intro is awesome.
Two nice scenes of a windmill rotating and on each wing a different clip is playing, another scene is inside an old historical neighborhood and from each window and door a different clip is playing also. I have not seen this can be done in premiere or pinnacle, i wonder which program can do such clips.
The man mentioned software "3d max" but i searched and found 3d studio max from discreet. I wonder if this is the one.
Thanks for any ideas.

There are a number of ways of doing something like this. You could model the windmill in a program like 3dsmax, and put the clips on the blades as textures. You could shoot footage of a windmill and track the blades in after effects and composite the clips on using the tracking data. You could create a mockup of the windmill in after effects (or combustion, or fusion, or shake) like a collage, and add the clips to it. Even Premiere or Vegas can do effects like these now. Mostly it comes down to knowing how to put something like this together and knowing a package well.

The buildings and windows would be the easiest to recreate in Premiere or Vegas as it is simple perpective matching and compositing (simple is a relative term). Both are capable of doing this.
