in today's video we're going to see how to create the awesome slam effect from
the Black Panther in the endgame which was one of the best cross-selling which
was one of the best-selling movies of all time which was the best movie which
was the best-selling movie which was a blockbuster movie which was the
best-selling movie of all time I mean as Leia and welcome to the
Creator galaxy calm space station
damnit I did it again so for this shot you will need a footage like this I've
already added it a little bit as you can see I've done a sky replacement and
stuff like that so this is the shot that we will be working with which you can
find with link in the description below and above that link you will find the
link to today's video sponsor bagging imagine that you're on a travel and you
have your laptop with you you can still modify some things on a big project that
you're working on but you need to render it and it requires a lot of time you can
actually use a Baggins computer to upload all these files render it over
there or even work on that computer and use your laptop as a link with that
computer to just work on a high-end machine straight from your laptop which
is crazy it also has a super lightning fast connection they all got that
figured out and with a single click your computer will have superpowers so
another important thing is right now they are in beta actually had a call
with makers of vagon and they're really really nice guys and they actually asked
me if you can send them feedback of what you think they could improve or do
anything differently in the future they are really taking care of every single
step and they just put your importance at the first place and they were also so
kind to give us a promo code that we can share with you the promo code is inea's
Alea you can find that also in the description below and this will offer
you a free trial including one hour of free usage and fifty gigabytes of
storage to your community all you have to do is to register at Valentine a link
will be in the description below and that's it so go and check it out
definitely give it a try and maybe it is something for you I will provide you
with all the links in the description below and apart from that let's continue
with our tutorial alright so here we are in Adobe After Effects we have this
tutorial footage we will drag this into a new composition the first thing that I
want to do is go to the moment that I actually fall accidentally on the ground
boom I hit the floor and here I want this black planter kind of shockwave
coming out of me so what I will be doing clicking over here and press the Asterix
button on my keyboard which will make a marker just so it's easier to see in the
future and then I'll create a new solid layer rename this shock and click OK
then I'm going to trim it to that marker and let's go one maybe one two three
four five and then just trim it over here so we just have a short moment of
burst for that electric shock after that I will apply the fractal noise effect
you can actually see that I'm using effects console which is a free plugin
that you can get at via copilot mat they offer this for free it's just a
convenient way of finding all your effects easily but you can also do that
by going to the effects and presets window right here if you don't have that
so here we have our fractal noise I will set my contrast at five thousand and I
will play with the complexity here and set it to something like two and forty
transform I'm going to set it to 500 and then I'll click on the stopwatch for the
evolution and right time times five hundred okay so we go here at the end
I'm just going to trim it so we can concentrate on this loop so what we want
to do now is you want to apply defined edges effect and we will make these
edges and we want to apply an invert effect to make those lines wide then I'm
going to apply the cc-vector blur and I'm going to blur it just a little bit
to make it a little bit thinner after that I want to add a turbulence
displacement to add a little bit of detail in there so I'm going to set the
complexity to something like nine and we can play with the size until you're
satisfied
after that I will apply an extract right here we want to take away the blacks and
we can take away a little bit more and then kind of soften the edges here a
little bit then I'm going to apply a fill to fill in those gaps and fill in
the color I'm going to set this to white and then again I want to apply a
turbulence displacement to add even more detail in there because actually we want
to move this one or we accidentally deleted it after that we're going to
apply another turbulence displacement and we're going to play a little bit
more with these settings maybe something like this and like really play and see
what works what doesn't so yeah until you have something that you're satisfied
with after that again you can apply a cc-vector blur and we just want to make
it as thin as possible - it looks very light and something like this looks
actually pretty nice so now we have this effect right here which looks a little
bit like electricity all over the place so what I want to do with this is maybe
I want to actually burst it up a little bit so I'm going to press e twice on the
keyboard and I will just change not a zero to this so we actually have
electricity going all over the place okay so that's cool so then I want to
click on that layer and I'm going to apply a solid composite effect on
everything and I'm going to make this black so that way we're going to be
working with glows and it's just going to make it look a lot nicer and a lot
better and a lot smoother and a lot you get the idea so we're going to head over
to the project manager and make sure right here that when you click on the 32
bits per channel or eight bits per channel in your case most likely and
change it to 32 bits per channel that way the course of your clothes are going
to look a lot nicer and a lot more realistic so right here we want to apply
a glow effect I'm going to be using the perfect glow preset which actually is a
freebie on our website which means you can download it for free
yes we're that nice and if you're not in the mood of downloading our free perfect
glow preset it always used boring and old school glow effect in Adobe After
Effects if that floats your boat fine by me so we're going to apply this
perfect low here and play a little bit with the settings
perfect glow I mean if this doesn't convince you to just go ahead and
download it free barfi glow I don't know what we'll just
so now we have this lightning all over the place what we want to do is have a
little ball starting and like expanding over our scene and like it goes all over
the place so to do that we could initially I try to do this with the CC
sphere effect in Adobe After Effects but that didn't work out as I planned it
kind of expanded everything a little bit like literally and what I ended up using
is the optical compensation effect which did the job pretty nicely so I'm going
to click here make sure that you can actually we can see that we added a
bunch of effects to get this result and now we're going to apply the optics
compensation on top of all of these and if we set this to 100 you will see that
it makes this little cute ball actually we increase it a little bit more I just
toggle off the glow for now because that does make the scene a little bit slower
and I'm going to put this kind of ball here in the center of my hands here and
at the beginning I want to click on a stopwatch for your field of view move it
all the way till the end and then we want to set it to zero so once you've
done that you should have something like this all right so that looks cool the
only problem we have at this moment is that the electricity isn't fading off
what I will be doing for now is just making a simple ellipse mask right here
at the center like this and I'm just going to make sure that I'm going to
subtract this part and I'm going to press em twice on the
keyboard and then go like reverse this value here so we have everything in the
scene and then close towards the end we're going to click on the stopwatch
for the mask expansion and then we're just going to increase this number until
we don't see any electricity anymore or until we don't see any electricity
almost we almost don't see any electricity anymore
because then you have these little sparks and it will fly off anyway
eventually so now we have something like this so let's see this with the perfect
low I mean it's such a difference so that's looking really really cool so
right here we have some Shake in there with the wiggle preset from our website
I have a bunch of tutorials on these I will put one in the link well in the
description below if you want to go and check that out but that's just a little
bit too much detail for one video we can also in check here decompositions
shutter speed and set this to 180 so that way when it actually blurs here
well it actually moves you will see a lot of motion blur and that just adds a
little bit more of action to our scene and that looks cool maybe a little bit
too much 360 but we'll set it to 180 it's a little bit less cool
all right so that looks great and now another thing I've done is kind of faked
the smoke in our shop also because we have that big impact there is some dust
that has to kind of fly away so to do that I'm going to create a new solid
layer call it smoke and I'm going to add a fractal noise effect to this for this
I'm going through the transform and increase the scale quite a bit and also
all click on the evolution time times 250 then we have something like this
going on for this you can well apply the CC sphere effect and we can go here into
shading and set the ambient to 100 and this diffuse to zero there we go so now
we can set this to a screen and we can make it a little bit well we can start
as small and put it in position right here and click on the radius and then
move all the way forward like until here and we can scale it up all the way just
like this so that's looking pretty cool and we can add a little bit more
contrast in our scene so we actually see the smoke a little bit better maybe less
brightness okay so let's solo this for now and then
we have something like this so what we want is obviously in the beginning to
have it at zero percent opacity move a little bit forward and get it to 100%
and then right here we will create a new keyframe oh my god
we will set the zero to 100 another keyframe for 100 and then near
by the end we will set it back to zero so it kind of fades off and we have
something like this which looks really cool maybe a little bit more animation
is needed in there so we can set this to something like this okay and then the
most important thing that we want to do is adjust the color a little bit so we
will add a tenth effectiveness and set the white to some kind of orange II kind
of dusk or like soap and we can actually make this as bright as we want to make
it more visible or less visible so that's completely up to you we can see
how it looks here maybe we want to add more brightness into arts smoke here and
we can also add obviously a dodging blur for the edges or a fast box blur here I
set it to maybe 50 and that we have some smoke here with the impacts and it's
very subtle but it does something to our scene as you can see
so there we have our effect and now you can just finalize this with a grade and
whatever you want and yeah that's basically it I hope you enjoyed this
