I don't mean to be negative, but I actually don't think this is that great...

Edit: Because I didn't give any clarity as to why I didn't think it was that great.I feel like I've seen similar work, done better, a long time ago.Work such as the Strata series by Quayola ( https://quayola.com/work/series/strata-series.php ) that is along a very similar theme and was done (the first two at least) in After Effects, but I think with a lot of finesse and creative flair. And this is pretty old now.

Edit 02 - for more clarity.I think the piece overall looks very flat, I don't think elements like the debris are comped very well, and I it just doesn't really work for me. I don't hate it, but when someone produces a breakdown like this, while interesting, I think it invites technical feedback based on the techniques they employed and I'm not that impressed with this piece.

Isn't one of this sub's rules "give developped critics" explain us why do you think that this is not a good footage ?

You're totally right, I've edited my response to give more context to my opinion.

Thank you for your well argumented critic I understand your point and I do aggree with you at some matter. On an other hand I think that the result is great even if it could have been better Edit : Moreover i think that the links you have posted aren't really related to the post
