Tremors Monster Worm Animation -- Made with Cinema 4D, After Effects CS5, Vegas Pro 9
The movie Tremors (1990) was the inspiration for this short animation. The giant worm was made in Cinema 4D; the special effects of sand / ground debris were made in After Effects CS5 (using footage from Action Essentials 2); the earthquake effect was made in Vegas Pro 9.
