Visual Effects and Compositing Video Demo

Whilst at the University of Sussex in Brighton, I had to create a 30 second long visual effects clip using After Effects, it was composited from a variety of clips requiring green / blue screening, with graphics being built and tracked onto the laser ‘gun’. Finally the whole composition had artificial camera shakes applied and was colour corrected.

Throttle Bandwidth on MAC OS X

To limit the connection speed on your Mac to a 56k modem for testing your website loading speed, pop this into terminal:

sudo ipfw pipe 1 config bw 56kbit/s
sudo ipfw add pipe 1 dst-port http

You can change 56kbit/s to any speed you want to test with.

To clear it either reboot or use:

sudo ipfw flush
