After Effects film look
Hello to all. I have been given a great technique to use on After Effects.
Here goes... 1- Import a video clip into A.E. (remember to interperlate the footage) 2- Duplicate the footage 3- On the top layer of the video: Apply a Gaussian blur-10; apply Levels next-bring the both little handles on the histogram in a little on each side. I wish I could explain this part better. I belief this sures up the contast; Finally, set Opacity to 50% Then insert 2 solids in between the 2 video layers 4-Shadow Layer: create a solid (orange/warm=O' Brother look or blue/cold=Matrix look) Opacity 10% to 40% 5-Highlight Layer: create a solid (white or aqua) Opacity 10%; other adjustments to fool around with on this layer-Curves, Levels, Hue/Sat. I used this technique on some pictures with stunning results! I suspect I could also add some Noise too. Does anyone else have any other film techniques they use with After Effects? -Mike |
Well there is always the fake bleach-bypass look:
- Duplicate footage - Make top layer black and white - Select Screen transfer mode for top layer Optionally: - Apply Levels to top layer and adjust to liking |
