VFX Artist new to Site

[benjmred]

So I'm new to the forum but I've been making small short videos for the last couple years. I'm a post production artist specializing in VFX done in After Effects. My latest is "First Charitable Act' a short video I created encouraging people to challenge,create, or change something about their world was selected as a finalist for the Target/Converse One Star contest. The piece features a great deal of After Effects work which I would love some feedback on. Look forward to hearing from some of you out there.

I particularly liked the guy's shades floating off and away over his breakfast.

That's really cool, can you do like a free cam through all the floating objects in 3d space?

@Zensteve thanks! worked hard to get the shades floating. although I think the miniwheats are my favorite part of this

@Godchoo
Don't know if I'm exactly sure what you're asking. All the objects are 'faux' 3d objects that I just distributed in 3d space. I shot most of this on a digital point and shoot and chose still images because the resolution was higher and would allow me a lot more movement through the scenes. And the AE camera will let you do pretty much anything.

That answer it?
