Greetings everyone. I know I've been fairly inactive when it comes to posting, but I lurk quite a bit lately. As some of you may know, I'd been moving into shooting my own material, and after my effects-free drama, I figured I would see how well I could do some special effects, so I've been learning After Effects, which is a lot cooler than I thought it would be. Here is my favorite so far: the reason you should look both ways before crossing the street. I can see the weak points in it, but it's still cool to watch. It's also all of 8 seconds long.

Since html is off, here's the link to YouTube.

Looks pretty good George, how long did it take?

Though why couldn't you embed it?

I tried to embed it, but it didn't seem to respond. Maybe I was impatient. The actual time it took boiled down to probably two or three hours, interruptions and such aside.

Yes, I shot the elements of the video, and then I put the effects sequence together.

The girl is my middle daughter and I coached her on what to do. She did a good job of looking surprised.

That's actually the uncle. It's hilarious when the uncle gets hurt.

Oh, I have a copy of the wilhelm. It's required material. I've considered putting that in there (ok, I have a copy here with that in there), but I figured the comedy of the scream would blow the moment.

I also considered a tire screech followed by a body thud, but rejected that for the same reason. As is, it is a bit surprising since it did turn out well.

Oh, and I've got all kinds of torturous ideas for my brother. Next up: Lightning.

Not at all. He's 18 months younger and bows to my every whim. Ok, not totally, but he's fairly agreeable to my strange schemes and ideas. We're a sort of team where I handle the abstract and he's the engineer.

It's actually pretty good. There's a moment in 'Edge of Darkness' where someone gets slammed out of nowhere - you have no idea it's gonna happen, and it did make me jump. Your thread title kinda sapped the suprise, though. Why not group all future efforts into a "Oh my God, you killed my brother! You bastard!" type affair?

There's a slightly weird thing going on with the lighting in the first few seconds, but I'm guessing you know that.


Guess who's back? Back again?

Yeah, I know. The clouds were all over the place the day we shot it. If I could have had consistent sun or consistent clouds, we'd've been better.

And I do plan on killing my brother in many different and interesting ways.

He knows.

GW, here is my two cents for your effort in make a great workwith AfterEffects:

Wilson Brother, will go to visit his neighbor Bert to collect a debt, when his daughter ask him:

- Hey dad, where do you go?

- I go to Bert…

- Dad…

- Yeah…

- Take care with the road…

- I know, dear. Like I said it is so danger now days…

- Can I go with you, dad?

- No, dear. Keep here with your uncle George.

- Okay, but I’ll just to follow you on the garden. - said the little girl.

-Okay. But remember: don’t cross the road without look both sides, okay?

- Don’t worry, dad.

Wilson Brother gets out from his home with his dear daughter that stays looking his dad crossing the road.

- Bye, dad.   – She said goodbye.

So, Don, the famous SS father, drives his truck calling on his cell phone. He is talking with Wesley, when lots of short screenplays follow on the ground of the truck…Don downs to pick the shortscreenplays...So...

THUD!

- Oh god! Daddy! Uncle George, please, come out of here! - shouted the girl.

- Don’t’ worry, dear. Your dad will be fine…We will buy a great funeral to him. He deserves it, isn't it. - Uncle George said as he was drinking a Bud, whatching Ophar Show.

The end
