This is the last installment of the Don't Stop The Carnival series I've done on You Tube. Key in Seaspinedu to see all 20 clips in order.
The effects were mostly done with Particle Illusion. Magix is great to do multiple overlays. The iClone animation were done first. The fireworks were first done on the second iClone set and then placed in the forground with black sceen so that the stars (generated with Particle Illusion) were in the background and then zoomed up to the sky at 20%. The scene with the Bogart/Bacall video was done by putting it in the background and then generating a PNG transparency of a carribean house and masking the windows in Photoshop. Slow zoom in to the windows and voila, people in the house. Quite easy really.
The "fairy crap" scene was all done in Particle Illusion.
There are still no criticism. Would you like to write one now?
