Due to request, I created this quick effect to demonstrate how to properly make use
of Adobe After Effect’s Camera. The Camera in After Effects is very useful for a multitude
of effects, but we use it’s most basic application by creating some 3D text layers, adding
a few effects, and some quick particles!
Philosophy Quote:
“Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and
irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause.
I had hoped that liberal and enlightened thought would have reconciled
the Christians so that their religious fights would not endanger the
peace of Society.”

Symphony of Science - ‘We Are All Connected’ (ft. Sagan, Feynman, deGrasse Tyson & Bill Nye)
by Graham on Nov.03, 2009, under MISC
Great track, I never thought I would like anything with auto-tune. Send it to everyone you know!
MP3 available at http://www.symphonyofscience.com.
“We Are All Connected” was made from sampling Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, The History Channel’s Universe series, Richard Feynman’s 1983 interviews, Neil deGrasse Tyson’s cosmic sermon, and Bill Nye’s Eyes of Nye Series, plus added visuals from The Elegant Universe (NOVA), Stephen Hawking’s Universe, Cosmos, the Powers of 10, and more. It is a tribute to great minds of science, intended to spread scientific knowledge and philosophy through the medium of music.
Check out “A Glorious Dawn” by Carl Sagan, another Symphony of Science project!
