Outside Earth V1 - WIP - Series Test
Here is a first-look rough edited version of some of the first scenes of my Sci-fi series 'Outside Earth'. Still needed a lot of finesse and editing. The timing is off and over length for some of the cuts.

It started out as me just goofing around and testing the capabilities of doing a complete series using After Effects and Video Copilot’s Element 3D and many of their other plugs.

Most of the Wormhole generator is put together using VC’s model packs that were created for Element 3D. I added a lot of my own models I made in Cinema 4d as well. Unfortunately I lost all my work and models in the cloud and wasn’t able to retrieve it due to some kind of error. Not sure if I’ll bother to rebuild it, or even pursue it any further through Element 3D. I’ll probably just go back to working the series in Cinema 4d and finishing it AE.
I wasn’t really that happy with look of the models and it was difficult to get the lighting right and moving around in AE with a camera had it’s difficulties as well.
A bit of a learning curve. All in all a fun little experiment in AE none the less.

This wormhole generator is the entrance way to other star system placed generator receivers. Like a star gate.

We see the Ark making it's way into the unknown as their journey begins. 

Created using After Effects, Video Copilot plugins: Element 3d, Optical Flares, Motion Design 2, Heat Distortion, and C4d.
