More amused than humbled, but thanks!

Brian is too humble to tell you that he is the original designer of the effect. So there, I just told you.
Congrats Brian!
carey Sorry, thought "Shatter effect" was some new thing. I'm familiar with the built in one. :)
A 14-year old After Effects plug-in. :)
That was awesome but what is this shatter effect?
yeah, actually I thought that segment with the pop up screen and the beyonce cloned dancers was the smartest motion graphics in the whole 4 hours
It was fun to see Shatter used in Beyonce's halftime show. :)
I was pretty underwhelmed by most of the spots. Especially the car commercials (the Mercedes one was o.k.). Most of them felt like powerpoint presentations from the marketing department. A lot of motion graphics thrown around without much substance (yes, I know, that's an ironic statement considering they are, after all, commercials). But I didn't see anything specifically that blew me away, unlike in some past years. Seems like CG is a replacement for "writing" these days.
I was way more interested in the fact they were using UAV drones to capture live shots during the game. Are the cameras on those things proprietary, and developed alongside the drones? or are there drone camera manufacturers? Considering how heavy most live broadcast cameras are, that's a pretty impressive feat of miniaturization. I can't imagine those things are cheap.
