Hey guys, Yannick here for Cinecom.net
and today we are recreating three effects from Travis $cott newest music video "Franchise"
But no small talk, let's fire it up!
The first effect is going to be very cool but also very easy.
We are going to recreate the clone shot.
The first thing that you need is this top light.
This will recreate the same mood as Trevor Scott has.
Then we also added a backlight to give some extra depth
but this is an extra and not mandatory.
Next place your camera on something high
and aim downward then start the shot with your actor placed in the middle,
take a green screen and hold it behind your actor.
Now for the beginning position, your actor can look straight in the camera
hold this pose for 20 seconds and now you can move on.
What you now need to do is let your actor stand in different spots across your entire framing
and he can do whatever he wants.
Now really take enough shots like maybe 30 different spots or so
and to make it yourself easy work in lines.
Film a position and take a step to the side, then do this over and over again
and also step backwards or forwards to start a new line.
And guys of course move your green screen along with your actor and keep that green screen properly lit.
We created a movable light setup with these Apurture MC lights.
They are super portable, they pack a punch and they are RGB.
Watch this!
Wait, wait yeah - yeah okay, this way.
Oh yeah by the way
don't forget to take an empty shot.
Then in Premiere Pro or in After Effects
they will both work for this effect
you just stack all your clips you have above the empty shot.
Then you mask every clip so that you only have your actor.
Remove the green with your keying effect and now we will have
way too much Lorenzo's ...
...way too much...
♪
Personally I think there's never too much Lorenzos.
Like never.
Anyways, the second effect is going to be a little bit more creepy
because we are going to create the eye removal which honestly is fairly easy
if your light doesn't change.
Then you can just use the clone stamp tool in After Effects and paint everything away.
But what if your light does change like in their effect.
Well, let me show you.
First we are going to make our shot and we did it in the same style as they did
but honestly the setup doesn't really matter.
Just make sure that you are filming an actor with a frontal view
and preferably have an actor with a big forehead.
- Hey!
And of course don't let them move too much.
now do a light change and do whatever you want.
Go crazy!
And then it's time to open up After Effects.
Take your clip and drag it in the timeline.
First thing we are doing is pre-comping the clip
so that our reverse stabilization will definitely work.
Select your pre-comp layer and put a warp stabilizing on it.
Set the result to "no motion", the method to "Position, Scale, Rotation" and when the tracking is done
you can change the objective to "Reversible Stabilization".
After this enable the track points under the advanced step and remove every
tracking point that isn't on the actor's face.
After you remove the unnecessary tracking points duplicate your layer
and again precomp it.
This duplicate we will use to remove the eyes with.
So use smaller parts of the forehead and cheeks together with a feathered mask to place over the eye.
Repeat this multiple times until both eyes are removed.
Then draw a black shape layer where your eyes were.
To give it some more depth make sure to lower the opacity of the shape and blur it a bunch.
Now go back to your original clip and copy the Warp Stabilization Effect.
After this select everything and pre-comb it all.
On this new pre-comp we are going to paste the Warp Stabilization Effect.
But we have to change the objective from "Reversible Stabilization" to "Reverse Stabilization".
And we also have to enable the "Collapse Transformation" option right here.
And that's it.

Yannick, hey that's my bed.
Yannick, get out of there!
Bring me down! How can I get down from here?!
Guys, come on!
Don't mind Jordy, he's in his VR world again.
Yeah we lost him
but like you saw we are going to create the bad floating effect.
And again this is going to be easy peasy lemon squeezy.
First of all we need two shots.
The first shot is going to be our empty shot or better yet the bed shot.
So create a scene with a bed or just go to your bedroom.
Next up we need a jib because we are going to do a camera liftmovement.
Aim your camera at the bed and move it up.
And that's it, you don't even have to pull focus.
If you don't have a jib you can always use a slider mounted vertically on tripods.
Or you can reuse a rope or you can even use a scissor lift if you want to be really extra.
Just be creative.
And then it's time for our second shot
which is going to be our green screen shot.
Place your green screen on the floor and your actor can now hover over the green screen.
Again create a top shot and then your actor can act like he is asleep floating upwards.
Then the only thing you need to do is open up Premiere Pro.
And place your empty shot on the bottom and the green screenshot on top.
Now key out the green and voila you're done.
Time for Yannicks
Fun
Fact
FOUNTAIN!
Now of course we can talk about how Travis $cott vomits when he eats Sour Cream.
But that's not for today.
Today we are going to talk about film grain.
Like you probably noticed the music video was quite grainy.
But where does this come from?
Well this dates back from the older cameras when everything was shot on film.
These older camera films had grain
due the random physical texture made from small metallic silver particles
which catch light.
That's difficult.
You can also go to Storyblocks video and just download some film grain.
And that was it for today guys!
Thank you so much for watching! Thank you Storyblocks video for the support
and like always stay
stay creative!
Ahw, look at Yannick, he's hugging me.
Look how much Yannick loves me guys.
Look at that!
That's probably because I haven't paid him yet.
