    Hi there

    We have a media department at our school in Auckland, NZ. Each year we have a ‘film night’ showcasing the best 8 student films produced each year.

    For the promo someone made this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPRGOrcB9t0

    I’m fairly new to using 3D camera movements in AE, can anyone tell me how the opening sequence was done (in brief) and how the person made the stars e.t.c. ?

    Cheers
    James

    the stars look like they were done in particular, a way to achieve them is to make a “sphere” emitter, turn the velocity to 0, and make the size of the emitter extend much bigger than your comp, 1500x1500x1500 is a good starting point. And it looks like the life was set at about 1 second and set the opacity over life to go from 0-100 and back down (theres a preset setting for that in the opacity over life). And the rest was just really basic camera movements.
