Ok dudes, I had to make a commercial advertising a product for economics, and I did it all in about 3 hours, film time included. Tell me what you think.

Wow, that's fantastic. Especially for 3 hours work!

The explosion looks awesome (even if it does start before the ball hits)

Where did you get the stock footage for the explosion?

I like the way you dulled the colours, what settings did you use for 17 seconds to 20 seconds? It had a really good look to it.

I also like the transition from black and white to colour. I was looking at using this very effect sometime in the future for an idea that I had. Did you just use key frames in premiere to achieve it?

All up really well done, very impressive

I got the stock footage from www.detonationfilms.com. I use Vegas 4 to edit and the effect is called "gradient map" that I just made a blue. So it wasn't really black and white, it had a blue tint. So yeah, I didn't do anything in premiere, I used vegas and I just made the color video clip and the blue video clip fade into itself, so the color would change. Overall I was very happy with the project myself. Any other thoughts anyone?
