John Adams: VFX Demo

Today, I participated in an all day Adobe CS4 workshop, and to start, the instructor, played this demo. It showcases the visual effects shots in the HBO film John Adams. You'll be amazed as to how many of the clips were composited layer by layer to create a specific shot.

The best part about this demonstration, are the breakdowns, where you can see each image and its relation to a specific shot. Its simply amazing, and for those of us who dabble in AE, I'm sure you'll find it educational.

Below are some snapshots from the presentation.

Enjoy!
