Hey guys, Yannick here for Cinecom.net
and welcome back to another copycat Friday.
Today we are doing another VFX TikTok tutorial
better yet
we are doing three effects under 5 minutes.
Let's go
The first effect which is this cool floating walk effect from TikToker
Josh VFX.
The first step is placing your camera on a tripod
and make your framing so that your actor is completely in frame
Also let your actor wear a plain t-shirt and place two chairs next to him.
Then tell your actor to lift and balance himself on the chairs and let him air-walk.
Keep in mind that you always need one foot on the floor otherwise it will feel wrong.
Keep doing this for a few seconds and then it's time for the second shot.
Of course don't touch the camera and remove the chairs.
Now let your actor stand still with his arms crossed.
And those are the two shots that we need.
Bring them both in Premiere Pro.
First place the fake walking clip underneath the standing clip
then create a mask on the standing clip around your actors legs.
And this can be rough except for around this crossed arms.
Here your mask needs to be super detailed.
After this we'll only have the legs of the standing clip.
So go to the mask properties and here you can invert the mask.
Next enable the animations for the mask path
and start animating the mask for as long as you want.
And that's all.

Time for effect number two
which is going to be this super dangerous stunt from Matty Deaks.
You can see him standing on the ledge of a building while he leans over.
And how did he do this ?
First you need a green screen shot from a tripod
and in this shot we also need to rig our actor.
We made the hole in an old t-shirt
put a rope through it and attach this rope around the chest of our actor.
Now with the help of a second person you can easily lower your actor
making it appear that he leans over.
Next You will need an empty shot that matches the shooting angle,
framing and lighting of your green screen shot.
This can be a stock clip but you can also make it yourself.
Okay back to Premiere Pro.
Place your empty shot on the bottom and the green screen clip above it.
Of course key out the green with the ultra key effect.
Then create a mask on your green screen shot
but with this mask we also remove the rope we are using to hold our actor.
Of course animate this mask over the entire length of the clip.
Then the last thing you need to do is position your actor on the right spot on the empty clip.
And again
that's all there is to it.

Okay, the last effect:
Shaving off your eyebrows.
And here you can see Hannah Stocking doing it.
Now, how did she do this?
First, we need a shot of you pretending to shave your eyebrows.
Do this with a trimmer
but
don't turn it on unless you want to speed up the effect.
When doing the movements always cover your eyebrows with your arm.
Then when you are done shaving quickly move your arm away so that the eyebrows become visible
And of course act surprised.
One last tip:
Try to sit still otherwise you are going to have a bad time with your tracking.
So in After Effects the first thing we are going to do
is track both of the eyebrows and add the tracking data to separate null objects.
Then duplicate your clip and you can immediately freeze frame this duplicate.
Now let's remove the eyebrows and you have two methods to do this.
One is a simple mask on the forehead and placing this part over the eyebrow.
The other one is with the Clone Stamp Tool.
for the second technique you just double-click on the duplicate
then in the layer panel you can start painting away your eyebrows.
Once you are done pre-comp the duplicate
and on this duplicate you can create a feathered mask around your removed eyebrow.
Then link this layer to the correct null object
and
B O O M
your eyebrow is gone.

And that was it for today guys!

I hope you learned something new.
