For something like this, you won't get any where near the realism out of AE as you would in a 3D program and it certainly won't take less time to try to fake a remotely believable water splash in AE.

Watched the intro video, looks like great stuff. Don't you think your stuff is worth more then $5? iStock will charge about $120 for an HD clip. Even if you get 10% of that you are making more then $5. I'm just saying your sample clips look great.
