This effect is a little more advanced but it doesn't have a lot
of pieces to the puzzle you just have to be patient and take your time putting it
together the first thing you'll need is a picture of an orange bring that down
into your timeline but don't put it in the main track lift up one and put it
into a track above it to create a second track now you're going to want to
stretch that image out fairly long depending on how much of a clip you're
gonna create I'll pull it out to here for the time being now you're also gonna
need a piece of footage of yourself speaking your lines
this was my footage right here and I have to tell you it was really tricky to
pull this off because the real trick to making this work is staying very still
if you look I actually put a cutting board up under my chin to hold myself in
place as best I could not moving is the most important part of creating this
footage and trying to get some even light directly on your face it might
seem a little harsh when you're filming but when you go to do this effect it'll
make things a lot easier bring that footage down into a track
below the orange footage now all you're gonna try to do is actually have your
face appear behind this orange so the first thing I did here was I left
clicked on the orange track in my timeline went up to the compositing tab
and dialed the compositing back so I could see my face through it a little
bit that will help me better position my
face on the orange to make it feel a little more balanced now lock your
orange track so that it doesn't move and up in the preview window left click and
start aligning your face so that it fits your orange image a little bit better
now the size of the eyes I wanted was probably somewhere around here but
they're very wide so don't be afraid to skew your image I made my face very
narrow the thing I noticed about Annoying Orange is all the features were
exaggerated so don't feel like you have to keep all of the aspect ratio of your
face footage correct you can skew this any way you want in fact I'm gonna make
these eyes a little taller once you have that about where you want it unlock your
orange track and in the upper left click on the effects tab over in the Left
choose utility and then grab your mask track and bring that down onto your
orange track so that it overlays the entire track you've now added a mask to
the orange track and this is really the trick to all of this we're gonna be
creating some layers of masks now double left-click on the orange track in your
timeline and it should open up your image tab in the upper left if you
scroll down you'll see video effects and you can see where that image mask has
been applied now it presets - this round image but if you scroll down and you
click invert mask then it's going to reverse the way that mask is set up and
you'll see why that's important in a minute you can use a circle but I
actually use this somewhat oblong spiky oval shape it just seemed to work for me
but use whatever shape works you in this next step in the control panel right
below those shapes you can shrink the width and you can shrink the height of
those masks and you can also control the positioning of the mask with the x and y
all I did was use those to place that mask over my eye keep shrinking - you
got about right shape that seems to work for what
you're trying to do now all those little spikes in the mask aren't exactly what I
want but I chose that because when I add the feather to this which means the
edges will be softer it seemed to do a really cool thing
so let's crank up that feather to a hundred percent and if we scroll up we
can turn the compositing back up and now you'll start to see what happens see how
that eye is showing through we can do some fine-tuning here and get the height
to be a tad smaller and maybe the width in just a touch now I've got that eye
taken care now here's the cool thing you're not limited to adding just one
mask to your orange track you can go right back in and in the upper left
under the effects tab grab the image mask again and bring another one down
and overlay it onto your track now we're going to repeat the exact same process
left click on the orange track in your timeline scroll down to the mask section
and you'll now see that you not only have one image mask under the video
effects but you have a second one applied so let's choose this image mask
and do the exact same modification will invert it I'm gonna choose that same
shape and I'm going to realign it so it's over my other eye
if you need to do fine-tuning you can actually type in the numbers one at a
time to get these masks to move exactly where you want them to let's bring the
feathering up on that edge and now it starts to look like my orange has two
eyes coming through it now here's some things that you can do to really sell
this effect grab your entire orange track and move it up one in the upper
left under media choose sample colors and then choose orange and bring it down
into that newly open track in the middle stretch it all the way out and if you
left-click on that up in the upper left in the compositing tab of this orange
track dial back the compositing what this does is it gives it a slightly
orange tinge that will help the eyes blend in better now I don't particularly
like the normal setting I chose darken and it seemed to do a better thing so
the blending mode in darken was what I chose but you have plenty of options to
try something that might work better with your particular footage add another
mask onto the track of your orange left-click on it and in the upper left
choose a different shape in my case because I have facial hair
I chose more of a circle shape I make sure that mask is inverted and resized
that one as well now if you notice my mouth is too low
for this particular shape again this whole annoying orange thing is based on
convoluted facial shapes so the way will get my mouth to actually show up in the
orange is I'm gonna move these other tracks up one apiece I'm going to
right-click on my main footage I'm gonna choose copy select track two and paste
that right in so it's stacked right on top of my other
track now this is where it gets a little funky pay attention to what I do here
let me turn off the other two tracks and let me make sure all of the tracks are
locked except for my new copied main footage I'm gonna click on that up in
the upper right preview window and move that up and start resizing just so I get
my mouth if I turn the orange track back on unlock it and click compositing I can
dial back this overlay and start figuring out the right positioning for
it let me lock that again and start moving this mouth footage where I think
it should be it's a little too stretched out let me distort it so it's a little
shrunken down and maybe something like that might work a little better but
there's another trick I need to add here it's covering up my bottom track where
the eyes were properly aligned so the way to solve that is up in the upper
left let's grab another mask and bring it down onto our copied footage of our
face left click on that track and in the upper left once again you'll see the
options for mask under the video effects and let's choose this narrowband mask I
only want my mouth to show and if I turn off the other track I can more easily
get that dialed in I want the height to be a little more
narrow and I need to drop it down so it's just exposing my lips and my beard
and it's not covering my eyes maybe somewhere in there might work when I
turn the other track on my eyes are in the right place so I'm using two
different face tracks to composite my face into this Orange let me click OK
lock these other tracks and let's unlock the yarn track and go back to that
newest mask that I add for my mouth and beer let me change this
around a bit so it makes a little more sense a little taller would probably
work a little wider might work let's see if I can get that into position around
my mouth again let's incorporate the edge feather so that it's got a little
bit more smooth transition into the orange and then again in the orange
track up above let's turn the opacity back up so the orange is not translucent
at all and you start seeing the facial features come together now really all
this is is spending some time dialing in these masks and getting them to align
the way you want don't forget to turn your orange track back on and it will
help pull off this effect that's pretty close right there but you see where I'm
going with this get these dialed in one thing I noticed
watching the actual Annoying Orange YouTube channel is a lot of times the
eyes didn't really move and I realized they did that because it's very hard to
hold your entire face in place so one trick you can do to deal with that is go
down to the track that actually has your eyes which is the lowest track right
click on that and choose add freeze-frame what that will do is it'll
freeze the eyes in place and you can stretch that out as long as you want
what that effectively does is it holds your eyes in place while it allows the
mouth to move as it needs to if you want to have the eyes move just pick a
section what you may have blinked or moved your eyes in a different direction
leave that in and freeze-frame the rest once you're done you'll have an effect
that looks like this if you have any questions about this effect be sure to
