I like it. I liked the music, but the colors, the ambers, browns, were even better, just perfect.

Camera movement was a tad repetitious, the last set of swaying seemed just a little strong, but the transitions from level to level was smooth, the DOF perfect, and the hand drawn/cel shade look kicked ass.

Ease up just a tad on some of the swaying, and you are golden.

that was awesome! Can you describe how you did it? Ive been trying to work something out like that for a while but cant get anything as smooth!

Thanks Matt. That means a lot. I would love to see some of your work.

Essentially the camera style was created by doing a basic keyframe edit, then going into the graph view and graduating the speed, (takes a little bit to get used to how it works). Then animated (yes, a little too much) the x,y,z, rotation axis.

You're welcome. I've posted some things on here before that I've done. Look some of them up, there is some neat stuff.

but here's a freebie simply because it's one of my favorites:

BWAHAHAHAAHA

Certainly nothing that approaches what you did, but it does lend a little insight into my personality. (yikes)


It is great that you are working with the graph editor. It can be a bit tricky, often frustrating, but once you get the hang of it, you can do phenomenal things. And not just in AE, I do quite a bit of my animation in Lightwave directly from the graph editor. That sounds crazy, but you can refine movement like nothing else that way. It was learning to use the graph editor in Lightwave which started me using AE's, and they are remarkably similar. Should you decide to begin to do any animating, you will be already a leg up. :beer:
