Crysis 2 custom made video

[yoman35]

Well Ive been getting bored during all these late nights so Ive been playing around with after effects cs4, i recreated the Crysis 2 logo and replaced it the actual "Crysis" with my old high school logo. Its nothing special, just a few hours. Please give some feedback!

I believe i saw some project files/tutorials out there that look a lot like this one, but if you made this yourself... Good job! i like the blue things, u did it with particular? htf u made the bg? Oh and those red lights, optical flares? light (streaks) above how? and did you copied that button, or made it?

The blue circle was done with particular and a few smoke trails, yeah the background wasnt hard it was just a grid with a slight transparency that i put some moving linear lights behind it, the red lights were really dimmed down optical flares and i tried making the button but it didnt look as clean as i wanted it too so i used an image for the button itself, and nope i watched a short tut on the sweeping effect with the blue lights in the beginning but the rest i did on my own.

What do you mean by smoke trails? and how did you make the light streaks? Still nice tho!

BTW: you didn't just colored the particular over life? from blue to grey?
Wish my PC could handle something like this, i can make sick stuff believe me, but i can't render/preview shit.

Its some addon i cant quite remember the name (im not on my pc) but i believe there is a tut on making smoke trails on videocopilot with an addon that helps, and exactly, for the sweep i gave the particles a blue to gray and attached each set of particles to a null object that i simply set it to rotate around the logo along with a set of smoketrails parented to the null object also

.. This is very impressive. I love the smoke effects.
