Earlier this year, I was asked to create a continuous zoom animation to be used as intro for the 3D animation reel of Science Animated (SciAni). This clip includes a branded airplane whose thrusters powering serve as a transition to see the Earth.

The airplane's animation, engine volumetrics, and clouds were created with Houdini and rendered in Solaris / Karma. The Earth shot was created in After Effects using Andrew Kramer's Orb plugin.
