VFX - HK MP5 (Beta)

This is a short clip from one of my English class' advertising project. It shows me shooting with a stockless HK MP5 airsoft rifle. All effects were made by me within Adobe After Effects 7.0 Pro. In total, there are 24 layers of composites, I guess I have spent more than 7 hours on that thing!

This is a beta because I made a small upgrade on it afterwards. It's in real HQ and avalaible for download on the website below. I fixed the smoke near the ejection window and reduced the opacity of every smoke layers.

The question is HOW do you keyframe the posotion?

[shletten]

@jbpwn3r This is not even a question to ask. It's basic stuff! ;) 

[jbpwn3r]

@shletten well i figured it out, you just hit p when you select the picture or video, and then hit the clock next to it. so yea i never got a exact explanation on how to keyframe so yea, i figured it out on my own.

So thanks for being a smart ass

@jbpwn3r See? You didn't need my help. Plus, the web is full of ressources and tutorials. If you wish to learn this software quickly, you may refer to this excellent website : videocopilot . net/basic

@shletten Hey, I've learned how to key alot of shit since the last time i saw this video, and, well, now i should be making tutorials,

if only i had a good camera, and a lot of actors and locations.

[shletten]

@jbpwn3r LOL! Same here... It's always a matter of resources.

Sorry I never replied... Anyway, I'm thinking about making a new one in the next months so keep an eye out. I might make a tutorial but the problem is that it really takes much time to do these effects so it makes me reluctant to make a tutorial.
