Samford no shit!

What can i say about samford no shit.

Well first off my group came up with the tagline so GO TEAM!

i created this one over a couple of weeks (and therefor you would think it would be good) but i took time off from it and came back etc etc etc. I think i'm going for a particular jolted kind of obviously fakely animated style here so it isn't taken seriously.. because with a tag line like "Samford No Shit!" there is no way it would be take seriously anyway. By fakely i mean the cow falling from the sky with the word moo above it and the oh so fake leaves. And lovely blunt bland statements like "there are cows in samford." it is supposed to be light hearted.

The section where the leaves are falling is interesting because i played around a lot with adding grain and spin and wiggler and a heap of effects to try and make it look more interesting but ended up cutting a lot of it away because it took too long to render. And i hate that i deleted stuff because i was too lazy to wait. (shame on me!)

i like the way the forest appears. the feathering of the masks just fits nicely with that sort of hazy green light to get in forests. i think its pretty.

i had major major problems with getting the dirt patch and its edge to transition into place. i was trying to position them with in three d space so i could just use a camera to move forward and down in a curved motion so it looked like it was actually traveling through a forest to the ground... but for some reason i could never get to to work right. so i used a double layer and fading and other things to try and make it look as smooth as possible.

Just putting it out there that i did the composition setting wrong... the width and height is ALL WRONG. damn mistakes.
