Comments, suggestions...

I am starting the little renders for the scenes in my movie now. I finished the script, and have some good friends working on the voice overs. So... I started messing with the opening titles, and came up with a quick video to flesh out my ideas.

This version is much shorter than the final, but I was trying out some techniques to see if they will work.

Basically, I have a lot of chroma keyed shots mixed in with Poser renders, GIMP post work and a Blender File. I need some helpful hints on where to take it from here. The final sequence will have a comet speeding toward earth and landing in an abandoned factory. I already created the comet in Wings, and textured it. I rendered with displacement in Poser 8 and it looks great.

How does this look:

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or hints you can give me...

I deleted the pic of the comet. I think it might have been distracting from the real intent of my thread.

Oh, and view the video full screen for best results...

I just wanted to say that I admire your efforts.

The only thing I could mention was that the explosions look a little blocky.

Probably caused by chroma keying not aliasing the edges too well ?

And I admire your patience also. It's hard to actually put things together like that and no doubt the clip will look more and more professional as you progress.

I think you are right about the chroma keying. Magix is good, but that part of the program could use some improvement. I am thinking of taking the plunge and getting Adobe After Effects. I have seen some of the work done with it and it's impressive. Thanks for the look. I will definitely look into the chroma keying when I redo this after getting all the pieces in one place.
