this test is actually several rolled into one:
flying test
realistic landing test (watch the minifig) 
preliminary fake shadow test
lighting test
what do you think?
EDIT: oops, here's the link

I used after effects CS4 for the shadows, compositing, and masking, framerate was 15 fps
mod edit - we don't approve of software piracy, thanks
Not bad, I do agree like Legoluke that it was a little choppy. Those shadows were really good! I would make flying scenes if I was good at shadows.
all it takes is a black ellipse at 45% Transparency in darken blend mode and blurred with gaussian blur. then you key it to match the motion of your shadow-casting object. 
whew!
at least, that's what i did here... there's probably a better way somewhere out there.
