Space Zoom-In Attempt 1

posted on Nov 24 by Floris in the Projects category

My first attempt ever at creating a zoom-in to earth, from space. Before I did this I had been thinking for a while on how to do it, and even while I completed it now I’m still thinking of smarter ways to do it.

Music is from the movie Poseidon.

For those interested in how it was made:
The first peice of video is just an animation made in 3D Studio Max. The second is a zoom in in google earth. I made sure they were aligned properly for like 10 frames, and in those frames I had the big flash so the transition is hidden for a bit. I also added the circular fade-transition so it would seem like flying through the clouds a bit.
