    Great tutorial Tony thanks. I do have a couple of questions.

    1. In the video at around 12:55 you parented the Camera peg to the Rain. Did you do that because the rain is the closest to us? and is that an aboslute rule to follow, you know Parent camera to closest element?

    2. In the video around 8:40 is that how you create a cycle?

    3. I need to create a BLizzard for this short I am working on. When I see Blizzard I mean a HEAVY BLIZZARD, do you think this technique will work for that?

    Anatomy of a 30 second short looks like its going to be incredible. Is there an estimated time of release? and roughly how will much will it cost. I will be looking foward to that.

    Your style of teaching is perfect, as far as tempo, description of what you are doing, sound and video quality. My only suggestion is to keep it as such or stay consistent.

    Hey Orett, the DVD will be released later this Summer. If you haven’t already, signup for my newsletter as the release date, and pre-release sales will be announced there first.
    Thanks Tony

    Hey Alex, Thanks for the awesome questions! OK here are my answers:
    1. I parented the rain to the camera not because it was the closest, but because I always needed the rain to be in front of all other elements. If I didn’t do this, the rain layer would disappear as soon as the camera moved passed it. I hope this helps.

    2. Yes, this is how to create a cycle, I will do a shorter tutorial just on building cycles soon.

    3. Yes, I believe this technique would work for a blizzard

    Thanks for your comments, it means a lot :)
