Compositing.

So I'm getting the hang of After Effects. I'm learning some particle effects and stuff to give a little extra bit of polish. I'm really stoked to use the 3d camera and give a lot of these shots a LOT more depth than just regular Flash work. Here's a compositing before and after where I feel like the dust really adds to the environment of this shot. Maybe you gotta wait to see it animated:

Chris: I've gotta recomposite my film and add a bunch of new elements, but should be done soon. I'll send you a copy before we upload it cuz that'll take forever.

Kirun: I actually met with a dude from Dreamworks who's been giving me some tips. Hit me up on AIM whenever if you want to learn. Two big things that he hit me with are: a) creating particle effects (wind, smoke, dust, light) and b) vignetting around the edges (blurring and darkening/coloring).

Tung: you are crazy, your drawings are awesome. Keep it up!
