Plane crash

[dbates]

During the shot of the plane passing directly overhead (with one guy's head in the corner), the plane is "ghosting". Shouldn't it be motion-blurred instead?

Also, when the plane hits the tower, the explosion occurs at the base of the building. Why would there be a huge flaming explosion at the base of the tower, and none in the middle where the plane hit?

I agree with the above.

Other than that, I think the plane turns too abruptly right before the crash.

Otherwise it's very nice. :)

Thanks for the advices.

The reason for exploading from ground is becouse of the timing probably. I first thought that plane would crash than the building would collapse when it hit the ground there would be the exploation. Maybe i should take the explotion some more frames further. And add some spreading chunks to the tower where plane hits.

The reason for ghostines of the plane in the second scane is a couse of the codec i guess.

i didn't able to recognise the abrubptness of the movement :) i should fix it right now.

And also i wanna ask something...
Is there any way to slow down the motion of an object that is animated trough a spline path?
Or is there any better way to animate the plane that you can advise?

Absolutely - in 3dsmax, animate the percentage in the Path constraint.

When applying the Path constraint, Max will automatically create two key frames, a 0% and a 100% at the start and end of the animation, respectively. All you have to do is animate that curve.

I don't know what 3D app you use, but I'm sure other applications can control it just as well.

I also think the building falls over too fast. It should either fall more slowly or not fall and just explode.

Overall it looks good, I think there is a very slight, but noticeable pause between the plane hitting the tower and the explosion. Also, I don't know it it's just the video but, at the same time as the explosion, a little rectangle appears at the top of 1 guy's head.
