Video Copilot Tutorial Project

   Alright so my latest animation project was a tutorial from the site videocopiolot.com. The project was creating a vortex of destructive energy. Instead of using their NY pic as a background i took a picture of my high school's courtyard.

Starts out  simple, import the shot create a cc particle world

At this point I'm far along in the project and fairly happy with it, but i haven't started to mess with it yet. I have changed the settings on the cc particle world to twister to get the vortex/ tornado feel.

 The hardest part of this whole project is keeping track of the particle settings. Personally I think the way its set up is confusing.

So i just duplicated the twister adjusted the size and added an effect to make it dark and kinda out line the original twister. I have also put in kinda lens flare like objects from the tutorial on the bottom to give the energy effect.

 This is the final product with darkened background and scary twister it is complete.
