Beautiful initiative and animation work! I enjoyed every moment watching it. I hope to make your acquaintance one day. I will send a link to your great clip to all my good friends. EYXAPICTW!
Credits and Stuff All (motion) graphic design and Visual FX by me in photoshop/photoshop3D, Illustrator, Cinema4D, After Effects CS6, Premiere Pro. All foreground and background sound and recitation by me, generated and edited in audacity and recorded by me. All other SoundFX by me in Audacity except: owl, crickets and walking on gravel, downloaded for free from Soundbible.com and adapted (harp soundFX generated in audacity based on Soundbible clip harp3 and harp4) 3D objects of the amphora and lyre mine virtually sculpted. 3D object of the God adapted and reworked using free OBJ from TurboSquid.com Celestial imagery either mine created in Photoshop or freely distributed by NASA on its webpage in the public domain. Thanks to certain After Effects gurus for putting out some tutorials for really complex tasks that required java expressions in AE as well as ideas on how to go about making galaxies, the earth (and lights over the shaded part as it rotates), etc., namely the golden Gods of AE Andrew Kramer and Eran Stern, seeing as some techniques they discuss on their blogs/webpages were especially useful in creating various parts if the motion graphics more efficiently so that my machine didn't melt. I am aware of a few glitches in camera movement, key-framing and quality of certain scenes or various mishaps with footage in some parts of the video, and I apologize to viewers. But rendering takes over 36 hours on my machine, because the footage comprises of hundreds of layers that use numerous effects and pretty much most major techniques in After effects. If it were for a more serious project and not for my personal fun and pleasure for my RUclips channel and if I had a better machine (or a render farm), I'd fix it and polish every single scene to make it stellar. Some of the techniques used in this video are, indeed, quite advanced. If you need a tutorial, ask (or beg, because it takes a lot of time), and I might sit down one day to tell you how I made certain things and release templates, unless a client wants me to polish something up and use it. PROBLEMS & CHALLENGES: aligning two 3D objects in Z space placed ...inside a 3D layer, surrounded by multiple 3D layers which were moving around and, also, a moving 3D camera... was brain-damagingly cumbersome. I had to rework the whole project in that section in 2D and then pre-compose and make 3D again. Basically, the 3D-ness of Trapcode Form is not the 3D-ness of the 3D camera in the composition (Duh! you say... well imagine forgetting that after three days of work on this...) Especially challenging was getting the torch flames to lag with motion and, again, without certain expressions made available by creativecow.com, this would have been impossible as I was at my wit's end. This involved creating a set of null objects parented to another and each with a lag offset to the main controller. There was no way to do this with Trapcode Particular and make it look natural or have my machine handle it, so real footage of flames was used being distorted by these null objects. Μost of the work was conceptually done without me ever seeing the video in acceptable quality or even in motion until the very end when I rendered the frames and then the video because I didn't have enough RAM. Considering this fact, I'm surprised it didn't turn out like dog's dinner. If you like it despite these mishaps, hit that Like button... it means a lot.
Dear Mr Papadakis I am enthralled by your work and great dedication to the subject. I d like to get in touch with You. My email is europafilmaustin@ gmail.com
Demetrios M. Papadakis Δημήτριος, Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ που έκανες αυτό γιατί τώρα Μπορώ να ακούω πως ήτανε τα αρχαία Ελληνικά.. Είναι Πολύ διαφορετικό Απ’ τα Ελληνικά που μιλάμε τώρα.
English: "Of the heavenly Stars the Holy light of their aurora I summon, with worthy pieous voices I address and beseech you, O pure spirits. O celestial Stars, beloved children of the dark-ink Night, who orbicularly you swirl in eddies around the Throne. Irridescently sheen-bright, fiery-reared, forever you give birth to everything, You are the alloters of fates, indeed the substances of every providence in our predestiny; You the conditionals that govern mortal humans’ divine course, You the ones bearing the seven bright zones on the galaxy, wanderers in the yawn of aether· etherial-heavenly and chtonic-earthly in nature, in your igneous path, ever tireless· and perennially you cast light down on the dismal darkness of the veil of night, and forever you shine brilliantly in twinkling shimmer, filled with delightful glee even though night-bound; come! Enthuse us upon the occasion of this holy ritual, so that our many-troubled toils put us on a good path and through good-glorious deeds we may execute the maximal."
Το "μαντρα" το αληθινό βρίσκεται στις voces magicae από όπου το πήραν και οι ινδοι στην περίοδο των ελληνιστικων βασιλειων. Αν θες το ορίτζιναλ "μαντρα", αυτό είναι μέσω της φωνηεντικής παλινδρόμησης
Beautiful, I love Orphic Hymns 🕯️🌹
I listen to this everynight to go to sleep. The next day is always wild…… you should do more
I want to, but there is no time. I'll try. Thank you for the encouragement. Comments like these can be very motivating.
GREETINGS AND WARMEST REGARDS FROM AUSTIN, TEXAS!
Παιδια ειναι Υπεροχο μπραβο❤

That’s pretty cool ... English translation?
English:
"Of the heavenly Stars
the Holy light of their aurora I summon,
with worthy pieous voices I address and beseech you, O pure spirits.
O celestial Stars,
beloved children of the dark-ink Night,
who orbicularly you swirl in eddies around the Throne.
Irridescently sheen-bright, fiery-reared, forever you give birth to everything,
You are the alloters of fates, indeed the substances of every providence in our predestiny;
You the conditionals that govern mortal humans’ divine course,
You the ones bearing the seven bright zones on the galaxy, wanderers in the yawn of aether·
etherial-heavenly and chtonic-earthly in nature, in your igneous path, ever tireless·
and perennially you cast light down on the dismal darkness of the veil of night,
and forever you shine brilliantly in twinkling shimmer, filled with delightful glee even though night-bound;
come! Enthuse us upon the occasion of this holy ritual, so that our many-troubled toils
put us on a good path and through good-glorious deeds we may execute the maximal."

κ καποιοι ψαχνουν το mantra στ Ανατολικες θρησκειες... ΕΞΑΙΡΕΤΙΚΟ!!!!
Το "μαντρα" το αληθινό βρίσκεται στις voces magicae από όπου το πήραν και οι ινδοι στην περίοδο των ελληνιστικων βασιλειων. Αν θες το ορίτζιναλ "μαντρα", αυτό είναι μέσω της φωνηεντικής παλινδρόμησης
The voice sounds like someone who is very spaced out. Which is suitable I guess
A halt to there mortal games
