Nice soundtrack with a very sweet violin. Any other things done by the author(s)?

(I listen to movies as much as i watch them, sound is at least half of any movie)

Brilliant!

Very stylish indeed and a spot-on timing!.
And I agree, music is about 60% here . In fact music is always the key and sometimes it´s painfully overlooked.

Congrats!

Sweet ! ! - I love the colors and the camera movement - excellent work !!

Rock on

cheers guys. i would definitly agree about music being important, thats why the piece was edited and timed carefully to make both elements have as much impact as each other. great animation with bad sound is a shame.

as for the animation, the snow flakes are very simple, after much designing they are lots of key framed vertexs and xformed scales, and by there nature you only need to do a few and then offset them all.

the lines are all ghost trails, the bubble and other embelishments, like bg and snow and other bits are particular for AE.
and music is off an emilie simon track. re-gigged a little to fit.

im trying to get a big version sorted, but you can appreciate the file sizes can kill off bendwidth very quickly!
