[Mikazukinoyaiba]

wow que efecto

[HighwayNeptune]

Sound choice is spectacular - and your concept is awe-inspiring. =O

Was just looking for apocalyptic footage for a project when I stumbled upon your works - several of em lightbulbs popped over my head when I took a look at this =D

Gah - it's a bummer when you've got good ideas and absolutely NO tech to help sculpt them out huh. =\

[ZaelZaak]

Just loveley... but i saw poping smoke at 00:17... was that inteted to be like that????

[systmh]

yeah that was a fuck up, haha. i did all this in about a night, it was a high-pressure project. i need to go back and clean it up. glad you noticed that, though. it's good to see someone who gazes into the little details like that.

[ZaelZaak]

Two times loveley, overnight working, the best hour to do almost anything is between 1o pm and 5 am... Those little details like some dirt dripping i'd like to see in the window, but wait.... that was a year ago, so, I will search for more recent works (thumbs up)

[MarkMikex]

wow really nice. Most after effect vids I see are just photos. Was the 'zoom out'-part of the raw video, or an effect?

[systmh]

it was part of the raw video, unfortunately. it's real hard to work with the lens distortion when zooming and such is involved. motion tracking was hell.

of course i was being careless and wasn't thinking about that when i got the footage. haha. thanks for the comment.

[HeartagramGuy]

that was pretty sick. Nice work

[thongrrr]

wooow .....whats the song name?

[systmh]

"K/Half Noise" by Múm

they're good listnin' :)

[thongrrr]

thanks and again i liked so much this video it looks great :)

[ZukaROBLOX]

It reminds me of Cloverfield.

[ZukaROBLOX]

It's disturbing to see giant skyscrapers so torn up.

[systmh]

yeah, it kinda is.

but at the same time, destroyed buildings can be somehow pretty.

at least when taken objectively.

[ZukaROBLOX]

I guess the whole reason is that skyscrapers are some of humanity's greatest accomplishments, and things like this reveal how weak they can be. All it takes is a bomb, or a plane to destroy them. Maybe that isn't weak, but there's a lot of planes and bombs out there now, so it just seems like that.

i love this its great

[TimeKoder13]

Nice man, Compressor can handle all your compression needs, tho I use divx for speed sometimes. I'm on a slow G4 PB.

[systmh]

yeah, compressor works pretty good, but for my youtube i rarely bother. i dunno.

my computer chokes on this stuff too. i'm running a three-year old frankenbox that's basically an amalgamation of cannibalized parts from my previous computers. i really need to look into getting a new one.

[alexwilco14]

You inspired me so I kinda based an episode of my "Webshow" off of this. Its not ready yet just a promo!

[Nionic]

._. wow, that's freakin' AWESOME!!! XD

[systmh]

haha, thanks. apparently i did something right on this one.

now my prof uses this as the bar he wants me to meet for every assignment o_. aaagh!

[Nionic]

^^ hehe, great work Thomas! you should expand on this idea for a great short story. Keep it up!

[explosiveshrooms]

this is amazingly beautiful

make a full length feature film about it

[systmh]

i would love to, but i'm so out of time as is :|

any ideas for a plotline?

[explosiveshrooms]

"sarah chao wakes up to find that she has slept through the destruction of new york city! it's now up to her, and her band of feral monkeys to save the future... for the sake of the past."

[HeinkelSalamander]

genius, genius, genius!!!

[Reffthemad]

Very well done.

[systmh]

hey thanks! now i need to learn decent compression so it doesn't look like i filmed it on a camera phone.
