Σ12 First mini trailer

Posted by & filed under 12=12, Blog.

Let’s get viral! Tried my hand at After Effects, and here’s the result. This is not the definitive trailer, as some things seen in it will change, but for a first time with AE, i think it’s okay ( the lighting effect on the logo looks a bit cheap, but i like it 🙂 ).
