Real Working Model Airport

This video is of a real working model airport.  I like the extreme attention to detail that they put into this piece and that it actually functions on its own.  Enjoy.

The Craziest Job

I have always wondered how they change the lights on the giant radio and cell phone towers with the red lights.  I did some research a while back and the only way to explain it is to show this video.  Enjoy.

What You Are Ignoring In Battlefield 3

 
A ton of my friends, including me, have played and enjoyed the video game Battlefield 3.  I play the game not really paying attention to the great detail the artists put into the game.  I found a video on Youtube that gives the video game the artwork justice it deserves.  It uses a great example of when you knife another player.  They put it into super slow motion and you feel different about knifing another player.  You almost feel sad like the "digital characters" are almost real people.  Check the link if you don't believe me.

Gangnam Style (Without the Style)

With the great popularity of the song (over 400,000,000 views to date) "GANGNAM STYLE" (강남스타일) by PSY, there have been tons of parodies of the music video.  Someone decided to do something a little different.  They decided to just take out all the music of the original video and just keep the natural sounds of everything.  The music video takes a strange awkward feeling to it that you have to see to experience.

The World In 2019

I found this pretty neat video of Microsoft's concept of what 2019 will be like.  It seems pretty bold to me, but aside from that, I think this future will be pretty awesome.  Except when your desk gets a virus lol.  Check the link!

This is probably the biggest help you can get with learning the program After Effects.  This site has all kinds of tutorials and examples to help you.  It even has a few free downloads for presets to add to After Effects.  Has a few design tips as well. I highly recommend this site.
