Thanks very much! As a small test we're not expecting a huge amount of coverage or response, nor to be hailed as gods :P but definitely a success.

For this particular piece, I used a combination of software packages and different techniques to achieve the relevatn effects.

Final Cut Pro HD - Editing
Adobe After Effecs - Compositing, rotoscoping and initial grade
CompositeLab Pro - Final Grading and Composites
Apple Shake - Advanced Composites
Adobe Photoshop - Frame editing, rotoscoping
Apple Quicktime Pro - Codecs + encoding
FFmpegX - Codecs + encoding

Depends how many effects tutorials are here already, but I may write some for this site based on how I achieved some of these effects.
