    I always say "teaching seems to be the most difficult task". This man proves me wrong. Thank you - great tutorial, Mikey.

    I find the animated water really helpful considering I have to present a render of my project in the ocean. Way easier to just animate the water without having to waste 2 hours for caustics, great video!!

    Incredible.
    Will be animating some 35mm film negatives, I wonder how much more convincing one could get it if you captured the elements better and spent more time feathering and stuff
    Thanks for a great tutorial, concise and to the point.

    Great video, thanks for posting. I haven't used After Effects before, and this makes me feel up to the task. And thanks for limiting your audio to just the steps needed -- lots of videos have too much filler talk, and yours doesn't. Nice to find that. :-)

  • @StrobeFireStudios
    @StrobeFireStudios 6 лет назад

    Dude I learned so much from this and I do these for a living. I use some different techniques that involve a lot of precomping and duplication - which can increase render times a lot.
    This is mad good for education yo'

    Stunning result! Thank you. I have just subscribed. The built in lens flare in AE is terrible though. Knoll Light Factory with the stripes and subtle additions would be ideal for the final touches. Or creating a few sun rays/stripes with shapes would do it too. Keep up the good work!

    It would be just appreciated to see a video with one layer and animate it. This video is great for someone a little more advanced and with several layers. My composition has just one movement back and forth and I just want to find a tutorial that explains just that.

    Mikey, thank you for a very useful tut. I have found enlisting still photos (that have been animated in AE), behind FG composited live action, can be an effective way to create FX shots. :)

    I want to learn more about animating still images. If possible, can you show us how to animate:
    - Rain
    - Snow
    - Thunderstorms
    - Water
    - Flame / Fire
    I want to apply these types of effects to still images.

    Could you possibly teach us a way to add bevel and emboss throughout an image? As if like say the image had a random pattern and i wanted to make all the shapes on it get the bevel and emboss effect,how do i do it?

  • @V.Z.69
    @V.Z.69 5 лет назад

    Question: I am working on a scene. Girl on rock in front of water and waterfall in the back. So it's not as easy as top and bottom. The girl on the rock should be the top layer? Also, is the "mask" the part to hide or is a mask the part to be shown through? Mask the part to show or is the mask to see-through? Masking is always weird for me. So the question together would also be, "I'd mask the girl to keep her protected? Or mask everything except the girl-on-rock to preserve the girl on the top layer?
