    I love the concept and edit.. but if this is a mobile phone company the barriers to entry on the device are rather high. It's going to have to make a larger splash than that of the iPhone or Droid. The Pre is a good example of a established brand still not making a dent and floundering in the smartphone market.

    But again, the typography and edit were very nice. You can't go wrong with Red or 5Dii

    Amazing, as always. You know, as someone starting with motion graphics, my objective is to become as good as you. You are my example and I hope one day I'll be able to blow people's mind away with my videos, just like you do! Keep it up, man. Keep it up!

    I´ve been following your work since The Ronin. "Things just fall apart" it´s one of my favorites shortfilms of all time.
    Your a great inspiration!

    Rob love your vid it's brilliant. Love your lens flare effects, like flares seen in the new Star Trek. I use after effects and wanna attempt at creating this look, is it a third party plug in (light factory), or have you made them yourself.

    Brill video mate it's inspiring!

  • Quinn Brabender plus 2 years ago

  • Love the video. What is that kind of iterative tracking data effect called and how can i learn or who else does it??

    cheers
  • Adam Blumert 1 year ago
    Learn basic tracking in AE, or Mocca + AE.
    Also learn some expressions how to make some countdowns or random numbers etc. You will understand it a bit more. Good luck


    Ontopic:

    I'm watching this over and over and can't get bored. Fantastic job. Nothing else I can say.
