Hey there! I've put up a video on how I created the VFX for the BackyardFX finale.

You were right on with using After Effects for most of the blood effects (some was tracked on 3D planes and then composited in AE). The sword was a 3D model and the camera movement was tracked in 3D to get the handheld movement matching up nicely.

@digitalsoapbox This is Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

hey garrett, do you know where to download after effects for free? and can you make a after effects for beginner?

[fallg51]

@pranawarman Hey! I totally agree with the others that the only way to go with a program this awesome is pay for it. BUT as a tip to you I bought both FCP and AE while in college at a student rate for $500 for BOTH when they both run at 1k a piece! If you know someone who goes to film school then maybe they can help you out at a discount. ALSO beginner AE tutorials are available for free at videocopilot (DOT) net. Editors Unite! :)
