Visual Effects #7: Snaaaaake!!!

I grabbed all the sound effects either from an online sound library or from Youtube. Snake and Bowser are both ripped from a screenshot taken within Super Smash Bros. Brawl and then masked in Photoshop. The exclamation mark that appears above Snake is also ripped from Brawl and masked in Photoshop. The background was taken from Google--I'm not sure what it's from, but it looks video game-y.

All layers are 3D, with Snake and Bowser being placed closer to the camera than the background. Shadows are also on. I keyframed the spotlight to move across the screen and then come back fast on Snake. I then zoomed the camera and changed its point of interest as well as added an ambient red light. I made the alarm fade in and out by making a bunch of 100% intensity and 50% intensity keyframes and then spacing them out evenly. As Bowser hits Snake, I went frame-by-frame and altered Snake's scale and positioning so it looks like Bowser crushes him. The Game Over screen and audio was ripped off Youtube--I set its opacity at 50% to seal the deal.
