Thanks, Dave and RorrKonn.
Both of those were done for a client in England, as well as the Linkbox and
train accident video. The glass break and train videos were ultimately for the
London Underground Railroad and were used for training purposes (at least that
is what I have been told). I don't know the guy on the train, but he was the
contact between LUR and my client. He is grinning, I assume, because he
probably looked like an idiot acting that out on a busy commuter train ;)
I did the brick in TS. The rest was done in After Effects. Your guess is
correct, I used several layers to brighten the foreground. The glass particle
effect is a feature in AE. There is a giveaway to the effect if you look
closely. In the left window you can see something stuck to the outside of the
glass, and it remains throughout the sequence. It is much less noticeable in
the darkened break area. I didn't have time to edit it out of all the frames.
I lucked out on the England flythrough. They told me what they wanted, but had
no source for materials. I found a great website (whose name I can't remember
at the moment) that has aerial photos of the London area. I downloaded probably
100 of those (hi res) and stitched them together. The moon and earth textures
weren't too hard to find, but the first zoom in over England from there came
from NASA's website, buried somewhere in its photos from the space shuttle.
Thanks again,
Spencer
