its footage from a free footage stock site, and the photo i took from the movie poster, and i animated the flock of birds with particular a plugin for after effects. and all the lighting was done through after effects and a plugin called Shine

[iheartgiants]

@CARSONSTUDIO2008  - wtf?? what you mean wtf??

[iheartgiants]

yeah you are write! a bit of movement with the camera shake, it was hard to iron that out as it wasnt tracked with anything like syntheyes or boujou or mocco for that matter, the track could have been a bit stronger i agree

[iheartgiants]

true! yeah your right, i tihnk i wanted it to look moody as in about 5 oclock evening time, when its kinda dim and th esun about to set, i could have used trapcode shine to get the edges glowing which could have give it a bit more intensity but when i tried it it made it to bright and you couldnt see the birds so i had to make a judgement call haha

I would recommend a video from another angle next time (maybe closer to the ground) or using a 3D model. Now it looks a bit like the spaceship is leaning to the back, if you follow me :)

I think your lens flare is a little too harsh, it's blown-out. Very white, I'd make it bigger, but not as bright. It feels to bright to be real, as the rest of the scene isn't so sunny. If it was that bright then the building would have brighter highlights too. You get me?

nice job! :)
