this video is brought to you by Storyblocks.
What up you guys, it’s Yannick from cinecom.net
and welcome to Copy Cat Friday.
It's a series where we recreate effects from famous movies and music videos.
And today we're having a look at 3 more effects from the music video Sicko Mode,
by Travis Scott featuring Drake.
But today we are going to do things differently,
because Jordy is still on vacation together with his girlfriend Kim,
but I'm sure that they are missing us, isn't that right?
Mmm, that hurts.
[Cinecom’s intro music]
-Guys, I’m not supposed to be in this video.
I mean, look around me, I got better things to do.
Anyway, since there's a camera on me now,
I’d like to make a quick shout out to Storyblocks, our channel sponsor.
Storyblocks is an online library where you can find After Effects templates,
stock footage, transitions, video effects and a ton more.
I'm currently in Iceland making a beautiful travel video
and a lot of the shots that I'll be taking here
will also be published to their library.
So, if you already have a membership,
you can just download them when they are available.
And if you aren't a member yet, well then definitely make sure to check it out
by clicking the first link in the description below.
-Walk further, Jordy!
As for today we're again having a look at Sicko Mode from Travis Scott and Drake.
Because last week we showed you how to do two hyperlapse effects
and a slanting effect.
In this video we are recreating another 3 effects.
but this time it's all gonna be in Premiere Pro.
But first, let's build a nice set.
[Pop music fades in]
-So, we're giving the cars an extra touch,
we're going to put these Speculars from Spiffy Gear under our cars,
so you get that neon look like all those tuned cars
from Need for Speed and Fast and the Furious.
[Music]
-In the Sicko Mode music video there is a certain effect named Data Moshing.
This is an effect where the data of the footage is manipulated
in order to achieve this kind of glitchy pixel transition.
Now, we are going to recreate this transition with Premiere Pro
and an additional software.
If you want to create a good data moshing effect
you have to create motion in your shot.
Either do this with a camera movement or you can do it in post-production,
like we are going to do.
This way the motion will be intenser and the effect will come out better.
In the music video you can also see two kinds of data moshing.
One with averaging moshes and one where a person is cut out.
We are going to explain the one where the person is cut out,
because the other one works exactly the same.
For the one with a person cut out we are going to use a green screen,
in the same scene that you are putting your subject.
Try to match the lighting as good as possible,
so it really looks like he’s standing in the scene.
Shoot your actor in front of the green screen
and then shoot your background without the actor.
-Now, let's get into Premiere Pro.
from the Project Panel drag the clip from Yannick into the timeline.
On this we are going to add a pre glitch.
So, go to your Effects Panel and look for the Turbulent Displacement effect.
from the Effects Control Panel
you can set the displacement to horizontal displacement.
Then scroll to almost the end of the clip and enable the animation for the amount.
And set this to 0.
Go to the end and decrease it to 350.
Now we are going to set the other parameters.
So, stick with me.
Set the size to 53, the offset to 1082 by 366,
the complexity to 10, evolution to 187 and the random seed to 94.
I know this was fast, but normally you already got a cool pre-glitch.
After this, you can put the background on track number 1.
And the green screen shot on track number 2.
Then go to the opacity properties in the Effects Control Panel.
you want to click on the Pen tool, which you can use to create a mask.
Roughly, create a mask around your actor to remove your surroundings.
After you have done this, look for the Ultra Key effect in the Effects Panel,
drag that to your green screen clip and with the color picker
you can then select the green to remove it.
Now you have your actor standing in your scene.
Simple as that.
Nest everything together and add a simple zoom in to add some movements.
You can do this by animating the scale from 100 to 105.
Sadly, you can’t datamosh in Premiere Pro,
so we have to use a different software named Datamosh Studio.
This is a free software which you can use for data moshing
and you can download it through the link in the description below.
Before we can start with the moshing,
we have to have two clips to mosh it all together and create a transition.
That’s why we have to render out our two clips that we just made.
This has to be done one by one.
Now, you're probably thinking: why the green-screen, then?
Well, we'll come back to that later.
After you have two clips you can start up the Datamosh Studio.
It will ask you to open a project or create one.
Just simply create a new one and create a new folder for it.
I'm going to do this on my desktop, so we can easily find it back later.
When this is done, adjust the width and the height to 1920 by 1080
and click Save.
On the top right you can then import your two videos you want to mosh.
This has to be done one by one.
When locating your footage, it can be that you don't see your footage in your folder.
I had the same issue, but that can be fixed easily.
Adjust the format on the right bottom corner to the one from your footage.
And now you will see all your clips.
Select the one you want and click Import.
Double click on your clip that has to come first.
You can then insert it in the timeline through the panel in the right bottom corner.
Set the starting and end frame and press Insert.
Do the same for your second clip but check the 'Delete Iframes' check box from now on.
Of course, you can add as many clip as you want,
just don't forget to delete the Iframes.
After you have done this set the beginning of the Iframe box above the timeline
to your begin clip.
Now you can hit the Export tab on the left bottom corner and press Export.
After it's done exporting you can hit the Play button under the export tab
and check out what you have created.
Fine-tune if necessary,
if not, the program already renders it in the folder your specially created for this.
Let’s get back into Premiere Pro and import the datamosh clip,
create a new sequence with the datamosh video on the first track.
Now you have a datamosh effect where everything glitches.
But we want to cut out Lorenzo so that he stops glitching earlier.
That is where the green screen shot comes in.
Place the green screen shot on top of the datamosh clip,
sync them both and trim the green screen shot to where you want it to start.
Go into your Effects Control Panel and to the Opacity properties.
Enable the Animation for the Opacity and let it start at 0.
Go a few frames further in time and change it to 100.
Another thing you can do is
let the datamosh background fade back to the regular background.
Just place your background on the same track as the datamosh,
make a cut in the datamosh background where you wanted to end
and place the regular background against it.
Add a cross dissolve if necessary.
Whoo! I hope you all got that,
because it will give a very cool transition effect if done right.
[Music]
Very cool indeed!
But now let's dive straight into the second effect,
which is going to be these moving overlays
you can see right here in the Sicko Mode music clip.
You can do this effect on every shot you want,
but we are going to use our background and green-screen shot again
to make it ourselves easier.
Back in Premiere Pro you want to place your background on track number 1.
On top of that we're going to place a stock clip which we got from Storyblocks.
Once you have placed your stock clip on the second track,
create a small rectangle mask from the top to the bottom starting from the left side.
In the Opacity property you can set its feather to 0.
And go to the timeline and make a cut after 3 frames.
In the clip after that cut you need to adjust your mask
so that the left side is aligned with the right side of the mask of the previous clip.
Do this until you reach the middle of your shot.
You can always make your shot smaller towards the end,
so it will end right in the middle.
Then we are going to add a second stock clip above the first stock clip.
But what you now want to do is make all the cuts first.
And then, one by one, copy the opacity properties from the track below
to the new stock clip.
After you have done this you will offset the entire track 3 frames,
so that it starts when the first stock clip is already one step further.
Do this process another 6 to 7 times
so that you can see a cool animation of moving masks.
I know it's a tedious job, but it will give a very cool effect.
Once you are done with this, you can nest it all together
and now you have one clip with the mask animations.
The next thing to do is duplicating your nested sequence as many times as you want.
Position them on the timeline on the point where your previous animations
of the masks opens up on the left side.
When doing this, you'll create an endless loop of moving masks.
Now, again nest everything together.
Make a duplicate of this nested sequence, and in the Effects Panel
search for Flip Horizontal.
Add this to the top nested sequence and now you have moving masks on both sides.
The only thing you now have to do is go to the Effects Control Panel
and in the Opacity properties set the blending mode to Screen.
You can also adjust the opacity to around 40%.
And before we forget, add your green-screen shot to the top.
Wallah, there you have it!
A cool moving mask background.
[Music]
Okay, guys I know it's a lot of information but hold on just a little longer.
Because the next effect will be a short and easy one
but with a super awesome result.
We're going to recreate this 2d/3d effect from the music clip.
-The most important thing of the effect is the camera movement they do.
This will determine the outcome of the effect.
We’re filming on a wide-angle lens so you can go really close to your subject.
When doing this, you will create a bigger parallax effect
without moving your camera too much.
Let your subject stand still, except for one element, like his hands,
or even its eyebrow.
Then, while filming, do a small movement to one side.
This can be up or down or to the sides, easy as that.
-Fire up Premiere Pro again and now import your footage into a new sequence.
Then look for the wanted starting position and make a cut there.
Go a few frames further in time and again make a cut where your movement ends.
Delete everything else.
When you only have your short clip of your movement,
duplicate this on the same track, right next to the original.
Right click on the duplicate and look for Speed and Duration.
Check the Reverse Speed checkbox and that's it.
You can now nest these two together and duplicate them as much as you want
to create a longer effect, just like this.
[Music]
And that was it for today, guys!
I know it was much, but I hope you enjoyed it
and learned everything you wanted to learn.
Thank you Storyblocks for the support…
-And as always…
…Stay Creative!
