Thanks Shake superusers
Patrick Sheffeild, Captain Mench, Jon Chappell, you guys are like my VFX fathers. I grew up on Shake starting in 2005 and you patiently answered my questions where the trail had run dry in the manuals. Because of you, I'm looking at a bright new future making things awesome. Half of what I do has been replaced by Nuke, but Shake still does a few things better (plus all those macros I wrote for it!) and has a permanent place in my heart. I'd still rather use it over Photoshop for a lot of tasks.
So seriously, thank you.

Half Nuke, Half Shake, The protals themselves were 3D Motion particle emitters, and the text matte for the credits was Motion and Shake.
Exit discussion: can you believe the kit we have access to these days? I have a Canon T2i with Magic Lantern installed and I wouldn't DREAM of having this great of a cinema tool in my hands 6 years ago. SD begone!
