I used a plug in from Trapcode called Particular - I made this a long time ago but because of popular demand I guess its time I made it again and make a quick tutorial for it - its actually pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it!

a tutorial on this would be ace mate, im wanting to find out the bounce settings and things if youve got any tips

[Sebbykins87]

yeah ill pull up the files and run through it myself, did this a while ago now! If i can put together a rough tutorial on how i did this then you'l be the first to know about it. The most important thing i did with the bounce setting is set it very low and then make sure the time factor was like 0.1 or something. Gives a really nice level of slow motion to the thing

Very nice.  Do you think you could give me a brief description on how you went about to create this? It would be very helpful, thanks

The footage is actually just a photo of my desk with the wiggle effect applied to give it a natural camera shake effect. The particles are set on box or grid emitter (i forget!) in trapcode particular with the gravity setting high but the time setting very low, then set it to bounce of an invisible solid 3D layer, positioned about where the table ends, then just played with glow, colour etc settings to perfect it. Hope this helps?

Oh, and also I used the ramp tool to make a gradient of white to black moving down the screen and applied it to the ZDepth tool included in AE (im using CS3) so if you looks closely it looks like there is a pll focus from the back of the desk to the front, again play with the settings to get the effect you want
