Awesome Space Battle After Effects

Here is project two for Animation class created by Kris and I. We took several elements from online resources such as pictures available on flickr (masked and edited in photoshop), ship schematics from shipschematics.com, dradis radar video from aestuff.myleniumstuff.de/?tag=dradis, and explosion particles from videocopilot.net.

These elements were composited them together with our own effects in Adobe After Effects. In addition to the techniques we learned in class, we utilized the wiggler, glow, 3d layer, light sources, motion blur, masking to composite multiple layers such as the dradis radar, and particles for the illusion of moving starfighters. After rendering the after effects files, they were edited together with sound effects and music in Sony Vegas.

It makes me think of the storyline drawings that movie makers do before they actually shoot the scene, nice work!

Bring Firefly back

[rhatcher010]

Impressive. Thanks for the reminder of why BSG rocks. So say we all.

[Reaverhobbies]

awesome work to say the least- where abouts can I get that ambient rumble heard as the bass to most of the film? that'd be awesome for some personal projects.

and that is how the dinosaurs died

I can't help but wonder, what would have happened if the Colonials found not a primitive stone-age earth, but a halo era earth. Hundreds of colonies, a powerful navy, etc. What would the battle be like then?
