3D globe, earth zoom, fifth try with After Effects

We are planning to shoot a movie for this years PEN, University Days In Pécs. As before, we are incorporating some special FX as well, like in the Sith Dawn movie from previous year. These include muzzle flashes, explosions, some greenscreen compositioning. This was the fourth try for making an earth zoom effect, using only After Effects, for the opening of the film.This time it uses multiple CC Sphere effects, with higher res textures, different specular levels for the water and landmasses, and the emulation of the atmosphere, and clouds slightly above the surface of the Earth. All rigged with expressions to control the scene, and the zoom level. In the final version I'm planning to zoom down to the level seen in the first try video. I'll be uploading the later versions as well, to show how the effects evolved.

@sunil144115feb I googled for those images back then, and used the higest res set available. Then I had to apply some color correction to them before applying CC sphere effect. Mail me for the details. I'll gladly help with your project, is I can. I can't post the process of my project here, because, it's to long to write down in a comment.
