This demonstration shows how to utilize Mocha AE and the Mocha Shape plugin to quickly track and rotoscope an object. Mocha AE data is then passed to the Mocha Shape plugin in After Effects and used as track matte.
This demonstration shows how to quickly pull a chroma key to create a matte using Keylight and After Effects. After the initial Key is created a light wrap is made, giving a more accurate final compositing result.
This brief tutorial covers the compositing technique of light wrapping. This technique uses a duplicate of a matted foreground element and a copy of the background overlaid onto the new mask to create a more photorealistic blend between the foreground and background.
This tutorial covers how to use the after effects paint engine to build an alpha channel used to expose a layer in a write on style.
This demonstration shows various ways to use strokes and masks as animation elements and support layers in after effects.
This demo was preformed for the Arts Institute of California – San Diego on July 24th 2011. The camera and audio quality are not stellar but after post processing and up converting to HD hopefully the content can shine through.
This workshop was recorded live at the Arts Institute – San Diego on Monday, April 25 2011. The workshop covered how to produce motion based typography (kinetic type) in After Effects V7 -> CS5.0. The workshop also covered how to setup a kinetic type project for animation in 3d space via a fast and easy to build camera rig.
This video describes in detail the process of creating a professional h.264 video file. These mp4 files are used in the delivery of virtually all video media today. The scope of h.264, as well as fundamental encoding ideas are touched on. The video that is being encoded is a promo Lawrence and Clark created for the album The One by G-Side – video at vimeo.com/18089095
