No longer enthralled by Adobe's cruel mistress, last weekend saw the Firefly team strike a blow for outdated film makers everywhere, as we attempted to make our third video for the NUS without the help of After effects.
The aim was to make a room destroy itself 'as if by magic', and destroy itself it did. Posters were ripped, jewellery vacated itself from boxes and clothes staged an exodus en masse from a certain cupboard. All with the help of our, it turns out, all too visible wire. Confident that the shots had worked, I boldly handed them over to Gary who kindly responded with:
"The fishing wire is really obvious. I'm going to have to paint it out in after effects."
I still get the achievement though, right?
