    Hello everyone. I have done a little FX-test that I would like to show you!

    -Too lazy to just walk over and get my mobile!-

    Any comments would be great!

    Nice. The movement of the phone looked, to me, anyway, to be very smooth.

    No 3D model! When it flies its just a still image. The rotation was quite important! Because of the still image....

    It maybe swings a bit much in the beginning when I lift it... I filmed the mobile against a "sort of" bluescreen. well... could fix it sometime.

    I altered the curve-things for the position and it came out quite smooth.

    I thought the coolest part was the motion blur. Add that to the little rotation on it and it was a pretty cool effect.

    I mean, really, if that were in the middle of a film I don't think anyone would notice a single problem with it.

    Thx, yes I agree.
    The meaning of the film is the "usage if the Force", the part before is something to fill up with :/

    you do realize that after you did your awsome cool trick... you were holding the phone upside down.

    How did you get it so that you were holding it in the end? It also looked like a 3d model because you saw part of the back of the phone, and not just the front face, you cant do that with a still.

    you can do it with a still, if it's taken from the correct angle.

    And you can add some 3d perspective to a still in AE....but if you add *too much* 3d perspective to an image...it looks paper-thin. :)

    Of course I realize that I hold it upside down! But there was no other way! As I said, because of the still picture the rotation was needed!
    U can't see me answering the phone so its not a problem. ..hmm what if I did answere it... hmm ?[face_plain]

    I haven't used any perspective settings, only position and rotation actually, and a bit masking... at the end when I hold it... (upside down :p)
