FinalCutKing

In high School when I first started getting into video and editing, I always wondered how they did those special effects and cool muzzle flashes. Thats when I found Zach King and Aaron Benitez making these great action packed videos that would have a link to a tutorial at the end of each video they made. 

Zach King uses final cut pro 7 and goes into the editing process and color correct he would use for each video. 

Aaron Benitez used After Affects for all the SFX he used in the videos. 

These two guys might not be big time SFX artists but they started small and have been an inspiration to me. Now these two guys are working on projects in their industries for a living and to think they started just like everyone else.

This video I very cool actually.  To start, the concept of a holographic watch is a wicked cool concept.  Secondly, the execution of making this concept into a video was done very professionally.  We can see that the author(s) is (are) of college age and are very knowledgable and skilled with video making and animation.  The best part of this whole thing though, is that they used mocha to do this.  Not only do they show you what they are doing, but they also allow you to follow along.  For not being a tutorial, I feel that there was a good balance of showing you what they did and how they did it.  I would love to be able to apply this kind of stuff in my work.
