Action Essentials 2 Test City Explosion

This is a video I made following a tutorial from Andrew Kramer at VideoCopilot.net. The tutorial used After Effects and Action Essentials 2, a product that can be found at Video Copilot. I used Andrew's tutorial to do the first explosion and I added the rest to give it some spice. I did a simple sky replacement using a mask and I did color correction on the buildings to reflect the effect of the new sky. That's really about it besides doing some more masking, using mattes, and adding different elements from Action Essentials 2 to give the effect of a run down city. The video is very short, so it's hard to pick up all the little effects I added.(Light blowing up on light pole, Blinking stop light with sparks...etc) I might would scroll through it by frames or watch it a couple of times. I was looking for more of a surreal look with this footage, but if yall would rather it be more realistic....i can upload one a little more realistic. Please Rate, Comment and Subscribe!!!!!!!!! Andrew Kramer is Awesome!!!!
