In this tutorial you will learn about motion tracking an element in your scene. it just happens to be the Death Star this time but you could make a space ship or a space station or a Godzilla or Mothra. Really anything but this technique will help you a lot if you’re into sci-fi or fantasy video making at all.
You will need after effects with mocha to do this one.
Part One of the After Effects Kinetic Typography tutorial. Here you’ll learn a method for arranging and animating text into other text quickly and cleanly. This is part one and will get you the bare bones of the effect without the oomph covered in part two.
Please post up what you make as well. I would love to see everyone’s take on this and let me know what I can do to improve my tutorializing.
In part Two of the After Effects Kinetic Typography tutorial you’ll take what you made in part one and make it look less like crap with background, particles systems, blending modes and positive thinking.
If you have any questions or comments or suggestions for making these better let me know. There should be more to follow.
Have you ever thought: “if only there were two of me?” well now there can be… in videos anyway. This is the most simple of all cloning techniques using non-interacting parts of a frame and blending a locked off shot. This has added interest when in the second half the two clones actually throw a ball to each other.
It’s not as crazy as it sounds if you have a gene-therapy lab and some stem cells. Then you can just make your own clone and never have to worry about these after effects things again unless the clone decides it wants a life of its own and kills you to take your place. Just something to think about.
I heard they cloned a sheep once but they made an evil clone sheep and it stabbed a dude. It’s in a Mexican prison now for unrelated drug charges.
Thanks for watching and if you have any questions throw them down in the comments and I’ll get to you soon as I can 😀
