Cinecom Intro
Hey folks Jordy here for Cinecom.net
And welcome to the first copy cat Friday of the year
This weekly seriously recreate simple effects from music videos and films.Now today we are having a look at three effects
In one video
We are looking at the speed effect of Quick Silver , Captain America
And how he throws his shield around and finally, Night Crawler and his teleportation effect
Now Before we jump into these effects
I first like to thank our sponsor storyblocks
Which is all online library packed with video effects transitions After Effects templates and high quality
4k stock clips every day
New video assets are added to the growing library and you can download
Everything you like without having to pay extra for more information. Make sure to click the first link in the description below
Let's start off with Quicksilver and his speedrun
What you're going to need to do is put your camera on a tripod
Or anything else so that it can't move then have someone run from point A to point B in that shot
When you're done
don't forget to take an empty shot as well in
Adobe Premiere Pro that empty shot goes to the bottom of your timeline and on top of there goes the shot of you running
We're going to start off by
Isolating the parts where you run so at a cuts right after you start and another cut right before you stop
Next place your playhead on the first cut then right click on the middle parts and choose frame holds with that middle part
selected head over to the effects controls
Opacity and from there click on pen tool and now draw a mask around your subject and this doesn't have to be precise you can do
This roughly when you're done right click on the middle part and choose nest this will group the clip into nested sequence
Which we have to do to avoid a complication
Next up search for the transform effect in your effects library and drag that to the nested sequence
You want to create a keyframe
Within that effect for the position property in the beginning of the clip then move a little forward and time and move the freeze frame
With that property to the right make sure that it aligns with your ending when you're done
Make sure to add some acceleration to the animation and you can do so by right clicking on the first. Keyframe
Temporal interpolation and then ease out for your last. Keyframe. You want to choose ease in now
this might be confusing but you have see an animation as something linear as the
Animation starts its place to the right
So it goes out of the keyframe and on the end
It goes into the keyframe finally deselect to use composition shutter angle and set something to around
250 to introduce a lot of motion blur no truly nested sequence to the end of the keyframe and close the gap. That's it
For the next effect, we need a shield of Captain America and that it's made from adamantium. We don't have that at Cinecom
cardboard it is
Upbeat Music
This is also how they did it Marvel, I'm pretty sure about it
Music
Lorenzo asked what I'm making, it's quite obvious what I'm making it's
Good job Yannick, by the way, guys
If you'd like to see all the behind the scenes as we work on these episodes that make sure to follow us on Instagram
Link in the description as well and for throwing a shield like Captain America
All you're gonna need to do is set your camera on a tripod
Again, and throw with shields if you wanted to catch it as well in the same shot
Then you need someone else to throw it back at you then step out of the shot and take an empty plane in
Premiere Pro the empty shot goes to the bottom entry throwing shot on top there just like before we're going to add it cuts
right after I trow and one before I catch then duplicate this middle clip by holding down the Alt key and drag it to the
Track above we're going to need it two times because we need to remove Janak from the shots
select the duplicate head over to the opacity and biggie pen tool draw a quick mask around yourself when you're done with this you can
Easily copy the mask that you've just created and 2-faced it by selecting the efest D property of the other clips
After this at a frame hold to the middle top club like before and jump into the paths the property to take the ellipse mask
tool draw it around the shield and adjust the ellipse were necessary then right click on the middle Club and
Nested apply to transfer
Methanks to its ends create a keyframe for the position move to the center of the club and change the position to your targets
Then go to the end and pull the shield's back to you
All of these steps were exactly the same as the first effect, but now comes a few differences
It's gonna be important to get the physics of the shield's, right?
So the first thing that I'll do is select the transform effect
Which will reveal the path of the animation pull on the levers of the keyframes to change the pads as you throw the shield's it
Can go any pretty straight line, but as it balances into something you can add a curve to the keyframe
And this is a process where you need to see how it looks adjust and go back. The next thing is gonna be
Acceleration which we've seen before as the shield bounces into a wall it goes slower
So right click on the middle keyframe and choose ease out
You can actually expand the position property and see the velocity curve pull on the lever of the middle
Keyframe to make it even more slower after the bounce and then they could go faster again
also here is setting that you need to adjust see the result and I probably adjust again until you get it right every
Situation is different. Don't forget. You also animate the scale in our example
I scaled the shields from 100 to 80 and then back to a hundreds
It's pretty minimal when you're done disable composition shutter angle and set it to 180-degree frame natural motion blur
I'm gonna add one last effect to it, which is a spark. This is something that we've created ourselves on story blocks
You can actually find a bunch of sparks that we've added to the library
But we've got one that you can have for free and download from your description
import that's club and drag it to the timeline on top with it selected head over to the a pasady property and just change the
blending mode to screen then simply scale and position it at the point for the impact of the shield is at
Moving on to the last superhero effect. We are taking a look at the teleportation effect from night crawler
There is this black particle cloud around him as he teleports so we decided to start with that
We had an ingenious plan to drop black ink into a white plate and use that as the effects
Music
Practical effect with the ink and water didn't work. So I decided to make it completely in after effects all by myself
like
Completely out of nothing. Nope. He got us from Video Copilot
I will leave a link to the After Effects tutorial in the description below
If you don't want to go to all of that hassle, we've also created a particle cloud ourselves
Which you can download again from the description below and just use that straight away. Ask for the shots
The only thing that you need to have is your jump in the air and move to a different spot and jump again
also here don't forget to take an empty shot as well in from your pro place the empty shot on the bottom and to the
Jumping shot on top right after Lorenzo jumps in the air you add a cut
Do the same thing right after he makes his second jump the middle parts can be delete at this time
You already have a teleportation effect, but we're gonna make it look a little bit better for starters imports the particle clouds
Which you can download from your description
It's a normal video clip of a white digital ink explosion on a black
backgrounds
drag it to the top of your edits start off by searching for the invert effect in your effects library and the drag - to
The explosion clip this will make the background white and the cloud black with the clip itself selected head over to the Opacity Property
Property and change the blending mode from there to multiply this will remove the white and only show the dark clouds
Reposition and scale that cloud to be on top of your subject as he or she jumps into the air
The shockwave is probably going to be a bit too slow. Definitely in the beginning
So we'll do next is right-click on the FX button of the clip and choose time remapping speeds
We can now take the pen tool from the toolbox and creates keyframes on the speeds within that clip like to create a keyframe on
the point to the cloud is open now take back to normal selection tool and push the line up to increase the speed of the
left part of the clip
The shockwave will now explode fast and then go back to normal speed if you like the transition between the two states to be smoother
You can drag to open a time remapping keyframe, and that way it will go from one speech to the other
Gradually now there is this one final touch that we're gonna add to the effect which is gonna be a distortion of time and space
For this I'm going to create an adjustment layer from the project panel drag that
If your edits and make sure that it starts with the shock wave effects next from the effects library search for the turbulent
Displays effects and drag that to the adjustment layer change the displacements to twist
We're now go to animated waves from large to small, but it has to be sold
So start by setting the amount to around
25 and the size to around 70 go further and time and change the amount to zero and the size to 2
Which is the minimum currently this distortion is visible in the entire shot. So from the turbulence displays effects
Click on the ellipse mask tool move that mask around the shock wave and increase its size
Perhaps finally increase the feather of that mask a bunch and that way the distortion is only visible on the place of the teleportation
When Lorenzo appears again, the whole process is exactly the same so you can basically copy and paste all of the effects layers
And
That's how you can run very fast into a teleportation to throw a shield to someone's head. Thank you so much for watching
