Jeremy's Demo Business Card

Just a quick demo I did in After Effects CS4. I tweaked the Particle Effect to appear to be boxes generating, however, normally the particles live then die. I tricked it into appearing constant by doubling my compositions and shifting one comp back in time 2.5 seconds. I then cut the comp size to 5 seconds. I tried exporting it at this point and then I tried for a few hours to research on the net, figuring out how to get the 5 second movie to play endlessly in youtube, but no dice. even importing to flash and converting from an FLV to a swf didn't work. So i went back in to AECS4 and made everything a new comp 5 sec long, then increased this new comp once into 30 seconds. I could now duplicate the new comp layer 5 times, and spread each 5 sec long layer sideways as each one before it ended. Voila! a demo reel displaying my name and phone # with cool particles, LOOPED! on YOUTUBE!!!

Also I the rotating 3D text object of my name and phone i beveled to appear 3D while spinning, but I also keyframed in a directional blur to ease in and out so that it only blurs in the direction it spins, and clears up quickly anytime a side faces full front:) I made it rotate 360 degrees on the y axis but also the x axis by applying a 3D tect object effect on them and then just keyframing 0 degree to 359 degree rotations once every 5 seconds...just to make it interesting to watch...

The beat is a 6 second into to a song from the band Yelle which I saw on Late night with Carson Daly the other night. I downloaded the song I heard, chopped 3.86sec of the intro beat, then time streched it in Adobe Soundbooth to 5 seconds. I also cleaned it up a bit.

Hade to export as an AVI tho cause Youtube failed to convert the Blu-Ray-.H264 format and the 1080I-HDMI .MOV format so I had to go with .AVI for ease. Sorry you cant watch fullscreen and high def, I tried guys.

Thanks! Might make a good screen saver hah!
