I'm curious. I assume that was After Effects with perhaps some NewBlue?

I recognize some of the effects at least that can be created in Adobe After Effects from the classes I am taking on it. If I am wrong, I'm curious what programs you did use.

I'm using Sony Vegas Pro 8.0. The portals were created with "Chromakeying", for the waves I used "Height Maps" with some "Cookie Cutters" and the texture blendings were done with animated masking functions.

Thanks Andreas, nice to know I inspired you. I wish I still had time to make videos but the talent round here now is pretty high quality.

I'm still a believer in fundamentals. Effects are just a tool. But they are nothing if the fundamentals aren't there. A great video without effects will trump a bad video that's full of them every time.

[Andreas Paschen]

I fully agree with you. Effects should only be means to support the content of a clip. The best videos are those which depict a certain mood or tell a good/funny story, with or without effects. They only have to be assembled carfully, not only joining noncoherend scenes with some music and calling it a video.

Ahh, ok, I'm following you. Nice little use of effect for this. I can see how this can be reproduced now. Never considered working with it in that way!

Cheers and thanks for sharing. One of an idea, don't you think?

This is FSX

[_haphadon_]

Incredible probably the best FS video ever! The editing and everything else is superb!

[Andreas Paschen]

Thanks a lot, mates. I have a save job in the government agency, so there's no need for an additional job

Very nice job Andreas.   Truly a measure of what FSX itself and FSX videos should look like.

I think you king video producers, you know who you are, rock by what you noted above - it's not the effects you use but the composition and design content in the videos.  The funny thing is that I am an architect - I am thinking up design concepts all day but this is a different league all together. I sit down to make a video and hit writers block and loss of vision beyond the first scene.  The actual production and techniques is a whole other mountain to climb.

I applaud the actual design and writing concept first and obviously the technical implementation just right behind.  Excellent job on both side of the road.
