Playstation Commercial

I made this mock Playstation commercial in Photoshop and After Effects for my Graphic Design class:

Excellent. I particularly like the way the flare appears over the top of the PlayStation at the end - and the use of the four symbols to replace characters in the slogan. Good stuff! I've also been working in After Effects recently, and I appreciate the effort it demands.

Does that mean HTCIAE on the horizon?

Nice work Atomic. When the large symbols appear one by one, was it luck they were on the beat or was that the desired result?

Thanks Steve, I actually put a lot of work into making the sunlight react with the Playstation and curtains realistically, so that it looks like there is flare as well as a flood of light coming in from the outside (a combination of the glow filter, solids, and adjustment/blending layers). However, I have to give credit to those clever Playstation graphic designers for coming up with the symbol replacement, which I simply utilized because it fit the song/theme.

I would love to see that some day. I really wish I had a reference book since one can get rusty at AE pretty fast, not to mention learning new techniques.

Yeah, I tried to match the whole spot to the beat as best as I could -- in fact the design of the entire thing was done in accordance to the mood of the song, which I used because it fit the memorable old Playstation slogan.
