More fun with AE

Some of the techniques and effects used in this example:
• two light sources
• wiggle the brighness to simulate a flickering effect
• mask inverted in the centre
• color keying on the Eagle image
• Blur > transporter on the text
• Film effect on text
• Particle effect using stars on a white shape layer


A SUGGESTION FOR STUDENTS TAKING THIS COURSE: Buy a portable hard drive, to carry footage, AE file, and final renderings.

Initial rendering time calculated for this video in AE was 38 hours... however, it actually took only a couple hours to render the 960 x540 video, producing a 2.56GB file. The .m4v version is 27Mb.
