After effects charging & flying scene

great composite but I found the water ripple knd of cheezy. If it were tined waaay down or deleted, I believe it'd be more effective.
Great work though. Very nice.
 
I was trying to achieve the effect from the matrix when neo takes off to fly. I didn't want to just have him fly, but i see your point. Thank you.

Looks pretty good. Try using more pf a ramping of speed from when he takes odd. Make the first 15 feet or thereabouts so fast the motion blur makes him unrecognizeable as a person, then slow down the acceleration as he goes higher. It would be helpful if there was more sky above him and he occupied only the lower third at the max, and lower forth preferably.

The water ripples are pretty good, and are defineatly a place to start, but they are too uniform, and too slow. Also, try taking your finished matte for the ripples, and apply it to a Compound Blur effect as well as a displacement map. Break them both up with different seeded animated fractal noise, and change their blending more to something that will bring out a little more contrast. You may have to use multiple instances of each.

In all, it was a nice effect, though it took too long to develop.
 
Everything was shot on location, nothing was green screened. Just used after effects for all the effects.
