did u make this in 3ds max

[madoncards]

yep, animation done in 3ds max, and some visual effects done in After Effects, and edited in Premiere Pro

[RazorxTC]

What effects did you do in After Effects?

[madoncards]

nothing major, just using 3 layers of the same footage and messing with the color correction stuff to get one layer to show red, one to show blue, and the background high contrast b&w

[RazorxTC]

Pretty cool. Im working on an animation. Still making the trailer though. 3DS and AE

[madoncards]

cool, yeah the light effects get the blinking effect by going into the animation graph and adjusting the curve for the intensity to appear as 'on' then 'off' continuously

You need more speed, especially at the start. When the car crosses the two buildings with the police car waiting, it looks like it is doing 40-50km/h at most (25-30mph).

Its a bit too dark in areas like you've already mentioned.

You might be able to invoke more urgency and speed with better positioned cameras.

I am an intermediate designer studying to become pro, and so the lights were just moved on and off the screen to give it the blinking effect? And yeah i know what glow lens effect is.

[madoncards]

Cheers mate, I was actually going for a dark Sin City kinda feel. But some scene came out a bit too dark I think lol

[madoncards]

The police car lights are simple glow lens effects that I added, because 'real' lights would have increased my render times. I don't know how much you know about 3ds Max, but the effects are then just animated to appear on and off basically. Hope that helps =)
