I just saw this film and was amazed as i said in my post in the film section.
But does anyone know if the end credits were done with after effects?
And what team did it?
Thanks.

Yes they were done in AE by Jamie Caliri...he does awesome work. He also did the United Dragon commercial in a similar style and if you check the link you can watch and watch a making of that is really informative.

Yes you should definatly check out the dragon commercial it's beautiful. Jamie is also a great and friendly guy, I recently conversed with him via email about his workflow on the Dragon commercial and he was more than happy to answer questions for me the guy is a talent and a true professional.

Ah yes! I remember seeing this amazing commercial on television. I never followed up to see who made it though. Master work. But did he use after effects? it looks like he made models and made it using stop motion. I havent watched the entire making though, so i may be wrong.

He used AE for keying and post, I think Shake was used for the dragon flames since they were so many layers and so complex, but some of the animation, whatever wasn't stop motioned on set, was done in AE and the project was finished in AE as well...there are a few articles on the web where he talks about it.
