I'm interested in all aspects of moviemaking: shooting, mixing and camera operating, starting from when the Matrix was released. For 3 years I've been recording some funny, amateur stuff. Now the time has come for more serious work: time for compositing and adding video effects!

    I could understand every word :)

    Thanks so much! I did not know you can create muzzle fire with CC Particle Systems II, I’ve always used Solids and all sorts of other effects, but I’ll try this one.

    Thanks!
