wanted: motion fx help

We wrapped up The Blueprint series about 2 months ago, it was on building a healthy home. I wanted to show you guys the bumper that I whipped up in After Effects for the series. I’ve only recently started dabbling with AE as time allows (coz man it can suck up yo time). I shot the footage with the Z1U and tweaked the image in AE to match the series graphic that our design guru had put together. The video is very simple, the trickiest thing on this one was the 3D text, which for you motion genius’ I’m sure thats nothing. I would love some feedback. I was inspired by inWorship to post this, he had some great comments on a similar post so I just couldn’t pass it up. I’m looking for all the help I can get.
Ok, so give it to me straight… I’d love some tips and criticism.
I recently had another post with an AE project, take a look at it also and let me know what you think about that one too.
Trey, I for one think you and Jeff do a bang up job. The video was noticed. I loved it. Thought it was very professionally done. And wished I had the skillz to do AE stuff but I know it is time consuming.
Cool Stuff Man!!! Seriously you’re excellent at what you do and this piece highlights it. Great to be on the same team as you.
Very Cool. Something I have not tried doing yet is working with actual footage. I love how you color corrected and matched everything up and the film looks really sharp. I like the sound effects as well.
You gave me some ideas!
Thanks for the compliments you guys.
inWorship - I used video copilots Film Magic Pro (which is color sytles) and I used their Designer Sound FX for the audible awesomeness
I have heard of video copilots stuff. I need to go check it out. What other optional plug ins do you have?
inWorship, I haven’t really picked up a lot of extras yet. Mostly Video CoPilots stuff. Actually I probably have all of their stuff minus the newest one (Twitch). They’ve got some cool plugins. And they have some really great tutorials that have helped me a lot.
I ordered one of their bundles today, twitch, Evolution and Riot Gear. Really looking forward to messing with them.
