The End is coming! Maya approved!

But seriously...

More than 150 apocalypse predictions have already failed in the past. Why do you think this one will fulfill?

The only reason the "Mayan prediction" is so popular is that we live in a digital world where information spreads rapidly, faster then ever. That is why I've made this sarcastic video for those who still believe our world will end at 12/21/2012.

I did this more as an experiment on whether I can make a decenty looking short clip. I've made the Earth model in Cinema 4D some time ago (see it here: fav.me/d4xc2ba ) so now I just animated the rotation. Tricky part was the clouds but I used keyed distorsion on them and it made them look good. Rendered and exported, then imported in After Effects. In there I made the Earth explode using Shatter effect. For the explosion I also used prekeyed stock from www.detonationfilms.com/PreKey… . Last thing to do was camera shake during explosion. And with that done the hardest part of the work was behind me. Afterwards followed making of some flying text in AE and export everything into Premiere. Then just some editing, audio sync, effects etc. Now you see the result. I quite like it, and what do you think? Leave a comment or add it to your favs so I can see you like it

Thanks a lot to Arnaud Condé for the music, his amazing work can be heard here: www.jamendo.com/en/list/a10577…
