FX > New Scary Expierence

After effects, a real horror ;) Took me a half of a day trying to install it and than i can say it's gonna take the rest of my life trying to figure out how does it work :( But i have a hope that the big day will come sooner than i think and i become a master of effects.lol. Just recently tried to make an opening sequence for my trailer "Best Buddies", thought it will b easy as i liked the idea i had for it, but the results are bellow and it's still not the exact outcome i expected. After 2 days and nights watching introduction tutorials to AE my final outcome wasn't satisfied, i had 10 different versions, but it's only few of them the most presentable. Explain why on each of them :

<< I NEED SOME PROPER SMOKE FOOTAGE!!!

1. Like of the effect about the tittle coming from the smoke, but cause i don't have a long smoke footage,had to cut it in premier, change duration and so on...and it still lucks choppy and 2 colorful.

2. I think the colors looks better and it feels smoother, but than the text a the end disapears in black, and couldn't figure out how to change it.

3. This was my last try, don't think the transactions are really suitable, but this is a ay it be for a mo, really need more knowledge of the software, also missing the smoke effect on the letters, don't know what happen to it.



4. Just some test without smoke.


So i'm having a real war with AE, haven't lost it yet, though. ( next fight -3D max

<< Story board >>


Buddy's Roomy Stage 1>


Start making my little Buddy's room,I bet he can't wait for the final result, and me for a holiday.

Still thinking about materials of the walls, i wonder what color Buddy would like it? plus the lightening...

Sometimes i just feel tired of 3d max, need a change...

Have to learn after effects too, as want to do smoking letter effect for my trailer, and yet i found a good tutorial but it's only for After effects cs3, and plus can't find a suitable smoke video...and the time is ticking ticking...I wonder if i can finish this year, just sometimes feeling like given up :(
