We are working on a film called Extinction of Another Kind. To be filmed in Atlanta in about 2 weeks. The opening shot is of a spaceship crashing to the planet. Then a side shot I am working on now. The side shot will zoom in on the spaceship, and get much more intense.
Here is the shot I need it done for.
What I need right now is someone who could animate smokeā¦and maybe fire for the 2ed shot. Particle system stuff I have never been good at. 
If you cant do it maybe you can point me to a cheap way. (besides blender, I dont know how to use blender article system .)
The director wants the camera to be shaky and rough. I have no ideaā¦ what would be the best way to add smokeā¦ maybe fireā¦ and junk flying off it. I have After Effects 6 and Element3Dā¦ The model is E3D and then the planet is a image, made 3D, then the camera shakes and zooms in.
I am kind of at a lossā¦ any help would be appreciated guys!!
Here is the first shot.
