The Indie style

I saw Juno last night, which is a great movie everyone should see. At first I was really excited by the opening credits because they looked unlike any credits I've seen before, but as I thought about them more I realized that I feel that is a style I've been seeing a lot lately when I think of the uber-indie-trendy.

Check out his work. I absolutely love how he uses 3-d material in his work.
The magazines spreads with Legos and vegetables are extremely creative.

Whatever will happen when my 30 days are up?

I don't have a new panthercard, so I don't think I can use the etraining thing. Instead I looked at this website.

It had some good stuff and I hope that I can put something together... I feel a bit overwhelmed by After Effects right now.

I downloaded the free trial of After Effects. At school I could import my audio file, but now I can't. Does anyone know why this would be?
