Now that it’s submitted and should be officially processed, I feel a lot freer to pass around the videos I worked on without having to worry too much about the rules.
Please feel free to download this little work of mine, it’s one advert of three and I’m very happy with the way it turned out. It is entirely mine, I didn’t work with a team to make it. I love playing around with effects software like Adobe AfterEffects and it’s really fun to have a real reason to do something in it. It refers to the fictitious Buster education software and BusterSoft.co.uk.

Important Note to all A-Level Media Studies students
Absolutely do not copy this work. You will not get away with it in the slightest. OCR are well aware of this particular piece of work and you’ll get busted if you copy (or are very, very similar).
I like the video Fin. It is eyecatching and fast. Very good job.
I experimented a few times and got about the same result. 45 secs to download the vid.
Oh, once it’s in the cache the start up is lightning fast.
Whoa! That was really professional. I loved it! If I saw that on TV, I wouldn’t think ‘A Level Coursework’ - I’d launch Firefox and head off to bustersoft.co.uk right away.
Download speed was the fastest I ever get of around 250KB/s so no slow down from your new host =)
Is it quite challenging to add all those effects? They come over really well and fit with the footage you shot.
Hi there,
I live in Germany and the download was between 200-250KB/s.
Greetings,

Thanks very much for the feedback everyone!
@ James P: Well I love playing around with the Adobe AfterEffects software and working out how to do all of those sorts of effects (which are pretty basic, really), so once I knew all that it was actually a pretty straight-forward process. Generate a standard particle effect, capture the footage of the actors, place the particle effect into the captured video and then edit.
The hardest bit was actually placing the particle effects into the video’s 3D space realistically - it has to look like the alignment is correct and it is actually happening in reality. To help with that, though, the actors are looking at where the effect is… that makes it easier for me and for the audience to ‘place it’.
