Hey all

I did a meteorite impact for my education. I worked with XSI (Grass, Meteorite, Tail, House), Digital Fusion (Impact cloud) and After Effects (Intro/Outro, Compositing).

It would be great to have feedback.

Thanks

Thats a good solid effort.

first off i would have to say that your intro is WAY too long...lose the count down at the begining. and definately shorten your intro. As far as the animation goes, i was expecting something to pop out of the meteor when the smoke cleared, but then it just finished. kinda disappointing. You may want more camera angles, and shots. I would have had a shot of the sky of that first meteor flying in, and the camera follows it over head, and it crashes off camera. The camera shake helps alot, the first one seemed a little off though.

overall though my biggest pet peeves were the lenght of the intro, and the different camera angles, your more focused on the house than on the meteors. try focusing on the meteors more and the house less.

keep on keepin on

Thanks for the comment :-).

You're right, the focus is more on the house :-(. More angles whould help but it was a time problem because it was an education project and I reached the deadline. As someone else said, the grass around the hill should also be burned after the impact. Perhaps I'll make a privat project with the same idea and more time.

Any other comments?
