Experimenting with Special Effects (Good Videos)

[Macroman]

Well today I got really bored and started looking for a special effects program. I found one and got some clips of youtube and edited them.

Please rate them, and give ideas of what else to make.

Or was it only your msn?

What's the program?

 

[Gods Pain]

Very nice! Which program did you use?

 

[mike_w_99]

I guess they're ok. I usually like to see stuff that doesn't look so flashy and fake.

 

[saberd]

It's alright if your just experimenting. The last one was funny

 

[Macroman]

I used Particle Illusion 3.0

 

[ivVintage]

Wow, very nice.
I'm going to probably have a go at doing some of my own sometime.

Sorry to say but this is not that great, and I mean that with respect, try a bit more, simulate lighting on the people themselves as well as the surroundings, and your explosions will look a lot more realistic. The earth spins way too fast, and the meteor doesn't look real. But if you work on it a bit more I am sure you will make something amazing.

By the way, for this kind of stuff I recommend adobe after effects, it is a lot more versatile in creating all kinds of effects.

The earth video just makes me nauseous.
