Circles In Borders

I had some free time today so I watched one of greyscalegorilla's After Effects tutorials:
Fun With Precomping in After Effects


YouTube version

I took it a little further and precomped it one more time, duplicated the layers to make it flow within each border, and added music. If you're just getting into After Effects, or need a refresher, take a look at some of his tutorials.

Software Used:
Adobe After Effects CS4

Take Off

I shot this a few months back as I was leaving New York to go home and visit the family.
I applied a tint effect to some of the video at 10% opacity to give it some color and change throughout. Below are screenshots of the video within Final Cut Pro.


Software Used:
Final Cut Pro

Music by:
The Grassy Knoll - Black Helicopters

Ghostface Killah Promotional Videos Screen Grabs.

The past couple of days I've been working on a few promotional video edits for Ghostface Killah and Def Jam for the Ghostface Killah Presents Ghostdini The Wizard Of Poetry in Emerald City album coming out September 29th. Not going to go into a lot of detail but here are some of the screen grabs from these edits. I've listened to snippets from the album and it's gonna be a good one. Look out for the track with John Legend. Solid.

Most of the edits have a total of 6 to 7 compositions within After Effects. The After Effects image is of the final composition that has the fade in and fade out of the whole project, with the graphics near the end.

I will not be posting anything else from this edit, need any other info, ask Def Jam. :)
Just know the album is worth buying, so do so.
