DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: 


The whole animation has been created using Maya. In the first scene, the rockets
are constructed with Subdiv shapes, the rain is made of stroke particles while
the fire 
under the firework is made of sphere particles. The grass is made using the maya
fur effect, and the moon is a sphere with glow.
The sea was easy to create, with the ocean effect. The planet's explosion is a
serial of spherical and cylindrical 
emmissions of particles. As you can see, I used quite a lot of particles in this
scene, and some of them are rendered with
the Maya Render Buffer separatly, and assembled with Premiere. 
I used Premiere for three other reasons:
-Luminance/Color Corrections
-The title
-Mpeg Export
