How to Enter
Step 1:
Create a 30 second animation using any of the 3 featured tracks graciously provided by Premiumbeat. You must use one of these 3 tracks in your animations, unaltered and unchanged, to qualify. You can listen and download the 3 tracks here.
Step 2:
Upload your finished animation to Vimeo and put a link to this post in the description of that video.
Step 3:
Submit your video by posting your video URL, name, and website in the comments down below. Follow me on Twitter @VinhSonNguyen to get the latest updates.
How It Will Work
- The best animation to utilize the provided audio wins a free copy of Element, so make the audio work well! I will also be featuring the top 10 best entries on the site for some additional recognition! With the help of Video Copilot’s Support, they will transfer the new license/purchase to a new designated account. That is how you will receive your product download, so having your own Video Copilot store account is required for the transfer.
Rules
- Original works only. Do not use other people’s work.
- Must be some sort of motion graphics. (2D/3D stuff is fine, just no film/video)
Things to Remember
The goal of this contest is to see how well you can utilize and incorporate the provided audio with your work. Craft your animation to where the audience would think the audio was the perfect pick for the work. Make your piece seem as if there were no better track in the face of this planet than the one provided. This is key: make the audio seem perfect for your animation.
There will only be 1 winner, but don’t let that discourage you! This is a great and fun little challenge to test your ability to work with audio. It also gives you a chance to have fun and create stuff for your reel. If your stuff is great, but didn’t make it to #1, there’s a chance you’ll be featured here on the Dojo to get some recognition for your awesome work!
That’s pretty much it folks, I’ll be announcing the winner after September 1st so get to work and have fun! If you have any questions, feel free to leave them below and I’ll get to them soon. Also, many thanks to Premiumbeat for contributing the contest tracks! They’re awesome and you should definitely check them out.
Wow, I think I’m so in !
Can’t wait to see your submission!
I’m not so sure if I will participate since I’m still a newbie :s
Participate for the fun! You may win or at least get featured on here
I’ll try
Dude, I’m a 100% in! Sounds are epic too btw!
Cant wait to see your submission
Manos a la obra!
Cant wait to see
wow, I am new to this game (after effects) …but, you got to be in it to win it!!! Without bad luck, I would have no luck lol. pray for me VinhSon Nguyen
There’s always a good chance buddy, just take your time, brainstorm, and have fun!
Hi…Let me get this straight! We can do whatever we want as long as we utilize the provided audio?
Can I do some 3d animation as well? Or it has to be 2d only?
You are correct, you can do whatever you want as long as you use any of the 3 audio tracks and create an animation (not film). 2D/3D is considered animation so do whatever you’d like you
Hi, can we add some animation on a video (3D motion tracking, …) or only motion graphics and no video ?
For this contest, I’d like it to be strictly only motion graphics and no video. But once Optical Flares V2 is released, I’ll be throwing a contest aiming more at vfx/video
Great. I’ll try to submit something
Please do! Can’t wait to see your submission!
What if the 30 second animation is longer than vimeo’s limit? Could we upload to youtube, though it’s reduced a lot?
Vimeo doesn’t have a limit of 30 seconds. I’m using Vimeo for this contest to easily gather/collect all the entries
I meant the Mb limit, it’s 500mb isn’t it. For free users, or would you like for the entrants to have premium.
a 30 second animation should be fine within the 500mb limit. I’d recommend rendering full settings, add audio in video editor, compress with H.264, then upload that file.
We produce 8-15 second animations and they are about 2gb-3.5gb. Hahah, so we’ll see about compressing.
1080p or 720p?
Preferably 720p. You’re right, 8-15 seconds of animation is around 2GB but after compressing to H.264, you should get about 50MB.
What type of animation are you looking for?
Anything that brings out the audio, the goal is to try to match the visuals with the audio as best as you can. The rest is up to your creativity
humm great Ive got some idea
Can’t wait to see it!
Can we use some of your tutorial to get some idea of it ?
Sure thing!
Brilliant! I’m in.
Awesome, can’t wait to see your stuff man!
working on something for “The Holy Grail” as we speak.
Seems exciting, that’s my favorite track out of the 3
Just make sure you get the un-watermarked version. If you have a watermark version, re-download it.
https://vimeo.com/48046614
“Voyage to Planet X782-8621″
Awesome work my friend!
Would it be like cheating if i used Cinema 4D for some stuff?
You can use whatever you want as long as the finished piece is a motion graphics piece. Anything you create from scratch or “computer generated” is fine, just no videos/film
Hey its GamerRob1.
I am so in!
What’s up man, glad to have you in! Can’t wait to see your stuff!
Does this mean we can’t make objects in C4D or something? @__@ contest is strictly for AE only?
Just askin’ ^__^V
No, you can use C4D or anything you want as long as the final piece is a motion graphics piece, meaning graphically created, no film or video. Anything “computer generated” is fine.
http://www.twitch.tv/mymoversky
Im streaming my entry if u guys want to see my progress of it
Interesting stuff man! Watching you live right now
Ohhh thank you
Its may be interresting and you can see my workflow how bad it is 
This sounds great! However, I go to the website and click on the download link for the track and it only opens a new tap and plays there. Is there another way to download it? Thanks
If you click on the link and go to the Premiumbeat page, next to the “Play Track” button, there’s a download track button
Thanks! Now I just have to think of something!
Im definitely in, like you said, even if I don’t win or get featured, at least I’ll have something to be proud of to put in my reel
That’s absolutely the spirit! Have fun and create stuff, the Element 3D 1st place prize is just a bonus!
I hope no professional worker joins this contest! Hahaha. LMAO. I’m talking about people who do this for their living. Haha Like Maya users etc etc.
))))))))) ( NOOBIE HERE :\ )
No “professional” follows my work
I started following creativedojo before summer and I love it, specially how you put things…sometimes when working for clients we forgot to have fun, and you bring it back in what you teach. Finally I decided to enter the contest this time … for fun! Thanks!
This is my first contest, sorry but I have some questions
1) deadline is september 1st at midnight or august 31th at midnight? (and which time zone!)
2) Can we throw in some sound fx or the soundtrack should be “clean”?
3) Do we have to display some text like creativedojo.com, premiumbeat.com or we can put any title we like?
thanks
Hey Andy. Deadline is September 1st at midnight, don’t worry about timezone, I won’t be too strict. No soundfx, it must be clean. And you don’t have to display any text you don’t want to, just do whatever you’d like
Hey Andy, that’s awesome to hear! I hope to bring more enjoyable content here on the site. Really looking forward to your entry
Hey vinhs, Can we put an intro something. Like the ones used by media artists. Like a “creative dojo productions” clip aside from 30 seconds or will u be strict on the 30 second rule?
You can add a intro, just make sure it’s included in the 30 seconds
I won’t be too strict.
hi
ok certain, I can create video.
thanks
What if I used some CGI Models from Halo? Would that be okay? I mean this is just for a contest use, and its computer generated and all.
Yes, anything graphical related is acceptable. Go for it
Awesome, il have mine to you in a few days.
Can’t wait buddy!
hy, i am going to try this contest. i choose the first music. i love it
Best of luck, cant wait to see your entry!
Haha everyone picked the first one as it seems :p
Yes, more competition to fight against! Guess no one is jolly
100% in ! Can’t wait to see the stuff of my competition rivals
I cant wait either!
http://vimeo.com/48121068
Awesome work man, very nice set extension and grading! Unfortunately you didnt create a motion graphics piece except for the ending title animation. There’s still time to fix!
Quick question, is it only 1 submition per person?
Thanks
Yes, 1 entry only. Trust me, you only have time for 1 entry, make those 30 sec good!
lets used AE + Cinema4d !! :p
Please do!
Vinhson i dont understand when u mean we cant use video/film could you explain me in details ?
You are creating a animation using graphics/vectors/computer 3d. The key here is using graphics you created like typography, particles, textures. No video taken from a camera. We are not trying to make a movie.
Is it okay to use pictures of real objects? =.=
Yes, as long as you’re aiming for something motion graphics like and not some vfx film
where do i post the website and my name?
In the comments down below
thanks
http://vimeo.com/48161132
After 2 days of intensive work and a long rendertime, it’s finally done. Hopefully there is a chance for me to win
Great use of the track buddy, seems almost “gospel” like, very inspirational and good 3D parallax.
Thanks man.
hi
Hello!
Vin, i thought you said only use Your graphics? Eric video look like david… i’m lost
Don’t worry about it Serg, just keep doing the right thing. Some of these entries are not motion graphics at all but more “vfx”. Just keep doing what you’re doing
me too
anyhow, I did watch the PBS video. Judging from the videos I’ve seen, they’re CG, but looks vfx.. So what should be my take on this? >.<
CG is fine. If it’s created digitally on your computer, you should be set. Just don’t use any videos
@Serg :
Sorry man but it isn’t like davids video. Some of his scenes are VIDEOS. My scenes ar ONLY STILL IMAGES , and i animate them in 3D Space so they look as realistic as possible
But keep it up buddy, giving up is the wrong way. There is no reason for it
Eric is correct. His style is like a 3D “pop book” magazine style, he’s not aiming for photo-realism
https://vimeo.com/48184395
Here is my entry, hope you enjoy it!
I like the animation man! Did you animate/model all those yourself?
The models. no. Those are the actual models. But all the rigging and animation and so on was done by me. Did a lot of different rendering techniques too. Glad you liked it.
The planet and the space environment was made by me though. Im not good at modeling characters or really complex objects. XD But I love animating. I thought doing halo styled stuff would fit well.
You did a fine job animating the models as well as transition from each scene with the audio. I’d recommend some epic “Michael Bay” color grading any more subtle flares, but good work!
Alright glad you like it! Yeah color grading it would make it MORE epic. XD
aie there is a level here. I cant play with you :/
i do abstract things
I am going to finish monday i think
Good, I like abstract things
great
i can try the upload.
Hy why vimeo and not YouTube?
I imagine i must create an account to upload my futur vidéo?
And i see All people take the earth like example. We must do it? Because me i create something abstract.
Excuse my english i am french
No, if you can stay away from the earth/space stuff, please do. Too many of that stuff already, something abstract would be awesome
Vimeo because it’s easier to manage for me, also the quality isn’t horrid.
Youtube HD is really really bad nowadays..
Agreed!
Hey Vinhson, I have a simple question: does it have to be a minimum of 30sec long? Because for now mine is approximately 22sec and I’m wondering if that’s one of the criterias?
Best regards,
S.H
Yes, 30 seconds exactly is the requirement. If all else fails, just make a intro/outro that’s 8 seconds to fill
Damn. Ok then. Here comes an 8sec outro x)
S.H
https://vimeo.com/48194277
my video… I made the graphics all by my self…
Check out my video https://vimeo.com/48191047
Nice!
Hey ya go, my contest entry :3
https://vimeo.com/48186491
Hey Harvey, your animation is great! It’s very dynamic and has variation. I think if you added some camera moves and add some more environment atmosphere in your scene it should be even more awesome! Also, try re-downloading the audio track, it shouldn’t have the watermark anymore.
I’m trying to download (by pressing download track) the track again bit its just playing the track…..
Right click on “Download Track” and click “Save Page As” that should save it as a MP3.
I do not understand, you say to 30s and here its 40s. Dod you know that the first song is 34s. So, when we use it the end cut net . Can we do a fade? or its not serious?
I don’t think I ever said 40 seconds? It needs to be exactly 30 seconds, the tracks should be 30 seconds. You’re free to do whatever you want as long as it’s 30 sec. Don’t worry, I’m sure he will fix it
The first one is like 34 sec’s dude, my animation is 35 secs with outro
ok thanks, so i fade it. i hate when it cut net.
I modified again my video because miss something
monday i think its good. i hope
Yes! Can’t wait to see it
Wait so….instead of having 34 seconds like the original track we should fade it out at 30? IS that right? Or can we keep the 4 seconds which are in the track?
Fade to 30 sec
Sorry to bother you again, I just want to get things straight. I’ve been working on my animation for nearly 10 hours now and I just want to ask: so the main idea is that our music fits our animation perfectly and synchronizes well? And does having an 8sec out-tro sort of bring down the ‘score’? Because as I’ve said previously I’ve made a convincing 2D animation with a perfectly synced typography but 8sec of the 30sec is my out-tro. So does that lower our overall ‘score’?
Nope, a 8 second intro doesn’t “lower” the score. Just make the audio seem PERFECt with your animation and you should be set!
Sweet! And no worries, it’s already perfectly synced
Also thanks for such rapid responses.
S.H
Anytime, can’t wait to see your work!
Erick @ – thanks, I was unclear on what to do.
man a lot at space videos…
Yes, too many!
Oh, sorry but I am doing another one… :S
It’s taking me a lot of time…
Question, can we add sound effects to the video?
Just in the background, without affecting the music.
No additional sounds
The music is indeed 34 seconds long. Can I leave those 4 seconds just in black screen in order to not to cut the music ending?
Yes you can do that if you wish.
But the best one yet needs to come ^^ I think I’ll finish it tomorrow and after rendering it’ll be uploaded on.. wednesday or thursday..
Hello
Please Check My video.
http://vimeo.com/48222400
It’s good, I got it
Awesome work my friend!
Im 20 seconds into my animation, I should have asked before but does the animation have to be some sort of title/into?
Nope, intro/outro is not required. In fact, text isnt even required
hi
i cant upload video in vimeo
need a buy account
plz help me
Use a free account. Compress your video until it’s small enough using H.264
I hope someone uses the third audio.
Many people used the 1st one. Quite tired hearing it after some time. Hahaha
Agreed! You should use the 3 one
Stand out!
http://vimeo.com/48249912
i hope u liked
Awesome!
I already finished an animation that remains to be roped …
But can we make a second on another music?
Submit your best one
This is my first one
: https://vimeo.com/48286342
but I am not convinced of the result :/
I’m going to do a better one ^^
Try your best to keep it within the timeframe and don’t add any extra audio to it. But good music reaction and colors, I would’ve added more perspective/camera angles and movements, but overall good work! Thanks for your entry!
You are french?
Yes Why ?
I finish my vidéo and upload on vimeo but the quality is horrible. My vidéo is 1289/720 23,976 fps with 10mbps. Its a good quality no?
Yes that is high quality, make sure its 1280×720
hy
this is my entry:
https://vimeo.com/48249600
i tried several quality and i finally stay on MP4 1280*720 10M/s 23.976fps. On pc it’s ok.
I’m really digging the first part where it’s dark with streaming lights, it’s very dynamic with good syncing. The second part feels off, especially with no camera moves. Really great though! Can you change the privacy settings on the video so I can add it to my Vimeo Channel to manage all the entries?
Yes The second Party just text move with caméra. Particules are syncing with music but we dont see because the rythm is a little bit same everytime and there are lot particules.
I hope you will like.
It must be see on HD.
Are there any issues with uploading our animations to youtube channels as well?
Nope, feel free to upload anywhere you want as long as you submit a Vimeo link to me
So much competition. Im glad I entered this contest its fun! ^_^
It definitely is fun watching all the submissions, I hope you have fun! You should participate in the next Kuler 5
Kuler 5? Is that like an adobe product?
Kuler is a adobe product, Kuler 5 is a project Im doing with everyone! Search Kuler 5 on CreativeDojo
Oh I see! I will definitely look in to that and possibly enter!
So, the Holy grail score is about 34 seconds long, is it alright if I extent my composition to fit that?
Just end it at 30, and fade the rest to black by 34 sec. Seems good
Ok here is my entry
https://vimeo.com/48306440
Sorry that I used same music as everyone else, and its another spacey style animation.
Hope you like it
Wow, really like your work man, nice 2D animation. The only thing I would’ve done differently was to add more angles/scenes in and not mirror the 2 videos at the final blast, but good work.
Yeah it’s two screens following each bullet thingie until they meet, it kinda looks mirrored so it didn’t turn out how I wanted, glad you like it though
Vin@ can people make two video?
Preferably no, you can always make 2 and submit your best one
too many space video lol I wanna stand out!… can I re-post my second video? I like it more for the contest..?????
Definitely, post the 2nd one.
I’m just joining for the fun of making a motion graphics piece.
Gonna post before the deadline 
Yes, this is more about having fun than anything! I’d love to see your work!
After quite some hours of work, and a lot of render time, refresh time, thinking time, looking at pictures time and audio syncing time: here it finally is!
https://vimeo.com/48393287
yet another space video, but quite different from the other ones I’ve seen!
Awesome work, I’m very glad you spent lots of time on it! Here’s a few tips: It still looks a little empty, try adding more atmosphere and subtle elements. The planets looks flat and too sharp, and you’re only syncing to the audio a few times, the rest of the time it’s a bit static. Take a look at this video for some inspiration: https://vimeo.com/10250848
But again, great work! I like it.
I wish that I knew how to create that much atmosphere dude, but that is just too much for me.. I seriously looked at asteroids and comets but i was quite blank on how to create it.
I’ll look if I have some more time to improve!
The space gas you added in that with the purple bloom and all was gorgeous… Amazing eye candy.
Thanks man
WOW! Very nice! I agree with VinhSon, try to make it more “dynamic” (more camera movements, more different scenes…)
My video is quite similar indeed… I uploaded it 2 days ago on youtube.
I haven’t uploaded it to vimeo yet… but don’t worry, I will!
Please, take a look!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LlE5qaTDHs
I got the inspiration from those Star Trek credits! They’re awesome… (too much flares, but that’s J.J.Abrahams style, I supose…)
Any suggestions with my video before I upload it to vimeo?
Oh, and sorry for doing another space video…
I started this as soon as I read this post. This took me lots of work and rendering (hours and hours of AE and 3d max burning up my computer).
And another “Oh, sorry” if I made any mistake with english… I’m 16, I’m still learning it…
As a friend of mine says: “Stay creative!”
Did you seriously make all that? Fantastic job! Make sure you read all the directions to submit your video!
Thankyou for apreciating my job!!!
What do you mean with “all the directions”?
All the requirements to submit a video.
Is there anything wrong with it?
If you don’t believe that I made this just check out my other videos…
http://youtu.be/W98PJWcbkHg
http://youtu.be/O5tjeORRLvo
http://youtu.be/eBhP6HooWj4
http://youtu.be/ri5IcPW1li8
Sorry but I notice a little bit of distrust…
No distrust, I meant upload to Vimeo, post it here, etc.
hi, im gonna work on ‘Holy Grail’ track but its length is 34 seconds, and i need the fade out at the end, so do i have to limit my clip to just 30 seconds or i can use the whole 34 seconds of the track??
another question, the prize is just Element 3D or the Element Studio bundle?!!:D:D
Whatever works best for you. It’s just Element 3D
Improved version of “from the darkness”
https://vimeo.com/48325895
I like it, lots of improvement since the first one! I’d love to see more camera angles, you did add a few, then it became stationary except with a little orbiting rotation. Good work though!
I don’t think I’m able to add anything else to this project cause it might get too much. Plus my laptop crashed 5 times while trying to render this out (if i add anything else my computer might have a meltdown) xD
my second video…it’s NOT a space video lol
thought I steer away from a space movie…
https://vimeo.com/48408217
what do you think?
Thats really good, I like the DOF on the virus thing, plus its nice to see a non spacey animation xD
It seems some people have uploaded 2…
Dont worry, only 1 entry will be scored. Whichever one is better.
any chance to postpone the deadline??
I cant necessarily do that at this point
This is exciting :3
I’ll submit mine tomorrow or the day after. Special tip to those who have already submitted: you should of waited until the day before the deadline otherwise some people may steal some of your ideas (I’m not talking about me – I’m already done ^.^)
Some people are using video and put it together in premiere lol….:( when you pick a winner make them send a project file to you!!!!
Don’t worry, there are already a few entries that aren’t really qualified
so this means we will see a deadline extension, doesn’t it?:-D
No can do
xavinitram – nice try, but I looked at your youtube… you made the intro that were part of your 30 second contact movie 4 weeks ago! if we look in your entry 10 seconds of your movie you will find the same video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJoQvI3mtzc&list=UUS0ETQIyOl10-XFlIvryGMg&index=4&feature=plcp
you made 4 week ago
I know you made it…but, come on….everybody got videos from before!!! I could made a video from MY video from youtube too!!
/////
Vin said…
Must be some sort of motion graphics. (2D/3D stuff is fine, just no film/video)
/////
xavinitram said on his post “I started this as soon as I read this post. This took me lots of work and rendering (hours and hours of AE and 3d max burning up my computer).”
for a minute, i said this guy win the contest… I believe you… but when I saw the videos from 4 week ago, i said…
this kid a cheater!!
ALL the kid from this contest work on here project, it not fair dat you should win.
I am sorry for coming off wrong Vin….. i just speak my mind
Don’t sweat it man, definitely speak your mind here! His content is fine, but he definitely should have created new content. The reason there’s a deadline is to see what you can come up with during the time given, not go back and take some old work.
LOOL, i worked really hard on that video and some guy comes up with old material and almost the same idea! I mean if you look overall the idea is the same
If I had time for it I would have improved myself but I simply don’t have enough time for it 
Thanks for the research Sergio!
That guy has his own tuts :O
Please, pause both videos and tell me if you see the difference. They’re not the same. Or just read the video description. And Vinhson, if you want me to send you the rest of the project files, I will. Jus’t look at the creation date and all the renders. I AM NOT A CHEATER. And don’t worry, that repeated clip will be out on the vimeo version, as well as the sound effects (indeed they were already out).
I can do Screen captures so everybody will be able to believe me… (I’m not going to post here the project files, I’ll only send them to VinhSon if it is necessary)
And Sergiobragg, I think I’ve never ofended you… (sorry if I did) there’s no reason to talk me that way.
Thankyou
Hey buddy, I don’t doubt you, don’t worry. Really looking forward to your Vimeo submission. Stay in touch!
I’m absolutely your opinion !
Just a few more days, come on guys a few more?
Hy. I was not convinced by my first project so I tried something else or we see better sync particles and games camera. it’s not perfect but I like it anyway. with all my tests Its chaos in AE then
Can I still change project?
Yes you can! Just tell me again if you resubmit so I can delete your old entry.
ok, thanks, i try to finish but AE do me an error “overflow”
much particule someboy say me. (50000p/s) i dont think its much
i hope i will finish before tomorrow night
Oh, I copied this video too:
http://youtu.be/xypw6IAoCmQ
I’m doing a new one now. A better one.
Working now live!
http://es.twitch.tv/xavinitram
Ok, finally finished without old clips. Everything is brand new. You can se me working on them on my twich.tv account. I’ll send the project files to Vinh if it is necessary.
http://youtu.be/xoZZWWI_8SI
Uploading to vimeo this evening…
Good luck everyone!
I thought vin said no additional sound effect…
I did say no additional soundfx. Just ignore all entries with additional sfx.
Hey Vinshon, here is my submission.
https://vimeo.com/48538819
I truly hope you enjoy because I invested about 12 hours of my life into making it. I tried making something original, not in space and with different music. Thanks for your time reading.
Regards,
Shark.
Says invalid link?
Awww crap. I’ll fix that tomorrow when I get on my computer. Sorry about that.
Hi guys,
Finally uploaded my entry:
https://vimeo.com/48545739
Hope you like it
It says invalid link?
I tried uploading again, this time with Vimeo’s recommended settings, but it still doesn’t finish. Also, when I rendered it out with these settings, the sound was really horrible, and I don’t know why. I think you can get the video by downloading it of the page (if you click original .AVI it downloads and plays fine), but I know you need it on Vimeo for the contest. Here’s the new link anyway – https://vimeo.com/48590229
Just in case it works.
Hmm, still getting errors on with this link…
Is there any other way I could enter? Or can someone who uploaded give me there render settings? I don’t know why Vimeo isn’t processing my video…
It works
Wait the link works? Or Vimeo should work? Because the link doesn’t even work for me…
Vimeo link works on mobile. I got your entry.
Ok that’s good – and weird. Even I still can’t view it…
Have you seen my new link?
Xivan,thank you for understanding my view
Here is my second video which definitely better than the previous one ^ ^ so take it for the Contest
https://vimeo.com/48560955
Definitely a lot better than the first one, I like your transitions and echo style, it’s very motion graphics like! The only thing I could recommend is to play around with the easing velocities a little, it’s a bit jerky, and make it react to audio slightly more in the beginning, but other than that, very excellent!
I have a few questions:
There will have a top 3 or something like that?
If I ever win can you quote my youtube channel?
There’s only 1 winner but I will feature some of the top best. If you are included, I will quote your channel
I really liked that! Wow a 10/10 for a great motion graphic my friend!
https://vimeo.com/48533584
my entry.
Nice use of 2D images/animation, love the semi animation/still style and great use of texture!

Worked real hard on the synchronizing in this, so hope you enjoy it. Also, some of the words don’t make sense, I’m aware of that. If you want to know I did the anmiations just read the description.
Really neat 2D animation, I like the bright flow of it all!
Here is my submission

I did my best
I like it man, very abstract with a sci fi feel. You’re one of the few who utilized different angles well. Great job!

Fairly simple, but I think it fits to the music
Greetings to everyone,
Tobi
Whoa…finally I did it, here’s the link https://vimeo.com/48650211
All done in AE with classic 3d. The timing in the ending part was better in my first version but was 34″ (like the soundtrack) , so to make it black at 30″ I had to shorten the title and now it looks slightly out of sync.
I’d like to polish it more but this week I had very little time and it was a struggle working on it on my macbookpro without gpu acceleration
There is some banding due to crappy h264 conversion of gradients from 32bpc project.
I’ve seen very good works posted! Contratulations to everyone!
