Not very hard.

You could take this footage, and then add another layer on top of it and decrees the brightness and add a mask with a gaussian blur around the edges as the 'shadow' under the brick, if you used software that was geared to animation/film you could keyframe the mask to move and resize make the shadow, which would be pretty easy.

It could be done in Photoshop or gimp but it pains me to think of doing it that way it wouldn't be to hard in After Effects or the cheaper [url=http://fxhome.com/compositelab-pro]Compositelab Pro[/url]]]></content>

This is the worst possible critique you can give for a test; it's not constructive, it's far too vague and it doesn't even tell the creator if you thought the test was good or bad. Now don't do it again. *stern gaze*[/quote]

I'l try to make a better comment next time]]></content>

The animation of the brick was very good (even if the wobbling was just a tad exaggerated) but did didn't look right without a shadow. It's not difficult to take an image editing software like GIMP or Photoshop, set a black brush to 0% hardness and about 40% transparency and paint in a shadow underneath.]]></content>
