Space zoom-in attempt 1
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
My first attempt at creating a zoom in effect from space all the way down to earth. Before I did this I had been thinking for a while on how to do it, and even while I completed it now I'm still thinking of smarter ways to do it. So expect more soon. Music is from Poseidon. For those interested in how it was made: The first peice of video is just an animation made in 3D Studio Max. The second is a zoom in in google earth. I made sure they were aligned properly for like 10 frames, and in those frames I had the big flash so the transition is hidden for a bit. I also added the circular fade-transition so it would seem like flying through the clouds a bit. I really need to work on this though.

Hi, I'm making a video for a university society and I was wondering if you would consider making one of those zoom videos for me but obviously to the place that I'm doing a film on. It's non profit making so don't worry about that. Hit me back if you'll consider.

@vaedriah Mate it's pretty much just a cut to white... White solid, fade in, fade out. Add a levels adjustment for more dynamics.

@vaedriah Interesting that you should ask, because that was the most difficult part! Basically, you need to get a handycam, and get into a fast car. Start driving as fast as you can on a deserted road, and as you approach the speed of light, you'll get sort of a sonic boom. Except with light. You film that, put it on the video, and there you go. I do all of my cuts to white that way.

@dbrandao07 Hey umm yeah, just click the little thing to the right of the screen that says 'more info'. Wonderfully, more info will then show up out of nowhere and all your questions will be answered! = D

Beside google earth, what software did you use for the animation?
-
not bad

GOod Job..!

I agree with most of your reply but I'd still have some stars:)

It's actually not done with a video copilot tutorial. I did this before I knew about those tutorials, and although Andrew Kramer's tutorial is a good way to do it, it looks really cheap if done incorrectly. Mine uses an actually accurate model of the earth, and the best way to improve on it would be by making the second part the Andrew Kramer way, instead of using a captured google earth animation. Without cheap cloud layers and airplanes, though.
-
Great effect, I would have put some stars in at the beggining and made the cloud layer revolve a little faster than the earth in the final moment before landfall, but all in all this was really well done.
