For our opening shot, Louis and I have created the cosmic zoom - it finished by zooming into the road and blurring into a murky grey. This will become a murky grey sky, which will begin to timelapse as the camera pans down to reveal ST. Pancras station. To storyboard it, Louis and I used Google Earth once again, and in streetview we checked out and walked around the location to get an idea of what our location will consist of before we go there, so we can properly plan the opening shot and the rest of the scene.
I screenshotted St Pancras Stationand took the image into AE. There I added a day to night effect, and then set the 3D "Gaia's Army" title above the station. The day to night was included for when we shoot the shot, we plan to timelapse from day to night.A while after this I went back, moved the title, and added more realistic lighting in a location where if the time lapse stops, a bus can wipe-fade the title away.

We have also decided based on what we saw on Google Earth where we would shoot: different frames to use, which angle to employ.
You have worked hard to develop your knowledge of Adobe After Effects and it is clearly work that you relish. I am impressed by the experimentation and by the finished effects that you have created for your thriller opening.
