Nice! And pretty much work I guess. How did you do the heat effect from the exhausts?

[MikeLeeProductions]

@HoScaleGeek I created the heat effect in after effects using the Trapcode Particular effects.

Awesome, But two things...

1 When the people were walking down the runway... did i see a face?

2 And did u use any lighting? Because it was a bit flashy.

[MikeLeeProductions]

@legodude12js Hi, yes you did see a face. My course tutor said that to prove that the work was my creation I had to be seen during the project, therefore I am visible for one frame.

The only lighting I used was the fluorescent lights of the hall and the camera's flash and that explains why it appears "flashy".

Thanks for watching :)

how did u get such good animation

[MikeLeeProductions]

@Jerome13319 It was shot at 15 frames/photos per second so the end result is pretty good when played at normal speed. I am working on another project using 24 frames per second which should look even smoother!

@MikeLeeProductions 25 fps would be english, 30 fps for all the other!
