My first attempt at a bullet zoom whatchamacallit effect. Bullet done in Cheetah3d then compositing done in Motion 5. The bullet can definitely be improved on, but it did the job. Lots to learn with Cheetah3d and Motion still. The shock wave thing was done in Motion by adding a circle mask over a duplicate of the background image which had a Ripple effect added. The circle mask and center point for the Ripple were then automated to follow behind the bullet.
