Very nice reel but I didn't see any way to contact you if someone liked the reel. Perhap you should list an e-mail address or web site at the beginning and end. Just a thought.
You really know how to dig in. I just started working with Motion 3. It takes a while to get to know all these options are there! Would you consider Motion a well thought out software?
i think that is great, actually, because u said it, is your first, your effects are great, and specially the crater xD hehe good job and keep working ;)
