    BRAVO!!!!
    I saw your great film in some design blog some weeks ago and I was stunned by it. I just wished at that moment to know how it was done and now I bump into this!!!
    I really appreciate that you shared the "making of". I'm a big fan of looking at all the work involved behind a project.

    Too bad they didn't let you go ahead with the "jet engine" - would have been extremely topical.

    Thanks for the positive feedback. Adobe had us document the entire process which is why there's this 'making of'. If you're interested there's lots more info and development work on the Adobe site: adobeartists.com
