In this video tutorial I will show you a fast and simple method for stabilize aerial footage. The ideal would be to use during shooting  stabilization systems like these or these , but perhaps for the  low budget films are still very expensive.
We always think of shooting with  ultra light aircraft (hence the cost is around 180Euro / h) and then stabilize shots in post production to obtain  fluid and professional video results.

PS: Tutorial language is Italian but believe me it’s very easy to follow!!

In recent days I recovered in my hands an old aerial video. Many of the images were striking. However, the flickering of the video made him unprofessional. Few steps with After Effects and now the video is much more smooth. I planned to do a short tutorial that I’ll post here shortly.

The second part of ” touch screen surface” tutorial is now online. In this part we track our footage using Mocha for after effects and then we’ll make the final compositing into after effects.

I used  as soundtrack an energic brasilian blues… mainly in the rotoscoping part!

Language is italian like the first tutorial but very slow! I hope you can follow at least the video if you don’t understand the language!

Here we are! It’s online our first tutorial ” touch screen surface”  based on some scene of Iron Man2.

Was very exciting watching the movie when every kind of  glossy or glass surface were touch screen!

That’s the first part of tutorial where we build the graphic part using after effects; in the second part we’ll track with mocca and we’ll finalize the project into after effects.

Unfortunately for many of you the tutorial is in Italian Language but don’t worry… is very slow and the video is very clear!

In this time of international crisis to have a little money in the pockets is always more convenient. Unfortunately, these coins are only three-dimensional… exactly they are  325 x 2 Euro coins = 650 Euro!
The project was carried out with C4D R11.5 and mograph2.
I made the textures by photographing a real coin from each side and then I created some maps with Crazybump, a simple software  to use but with great potential.
With Mograph cloner object duplicate the coins as you need. I also added a random effector for randomize the coin’s fall.
Finally, the tag mograph rigid body allows full dynamic integration between the objects in the scene. Maybe shortly I will insert a simple tuturial on topic.

For now enjoy with money!

You can download the project here for FREE!

In the coming days will communicate the date on which the “FILM LOOK” presets are available for download. In the meantime, here’s a video with the effects in action.
The original video inside the spaceship is owned by NASA.

During the creation of some sci-fi elements for a job, I decided to create a few more so that I could share them with you.. The compositing was done entirely in After Effects. Each function is fictional, but many of the displays used in many film productions are born in a similar way. In the next hours I'll insert a short video of the  "monitor" in action. If there are interested parties I'll include the entire project in the download section.

UPDATE: Video ready here on the top

Another application of the  "Clone Object" tool with the addition of "Volume Effector. In this example, an object "light" was cloned into XY space to form  LED Display.
The Volume effector tool will serve to integrate a text object  into led display.

In this clip we see an example of "Clone Object"  contained in the Mograph's module of Cinema 4D. The potential of this simple tool is remarkable and with few easy steps you can create some interesting scenes. The sample image was created by inserting an object library C4D (Zygote Man) as son of Clone Object, by setting the mode of the clone in "Grid Array". The background was created in Photoshop using the union of two different scenarios. The Final compositing  (such as color correction) was done in after effects.

Some time ago, for a video project I had the need to create an environments destruction caused by war or natural disasters.
The original video was fairly clean.
The more important elements in order to create a credible and appealing result are in my opinion the following:
1-Accurated choice of additional elements
2-Reproduction of physical effects that external factors could lead to the scene
3-Coherence of light and color between scene elements external scenary

The Web has been my source for dozens of public domain images. The second step was to create a composition that respects the rules of perspective in reference to the original scene.
I performed this step with Photoshop to create the debris and damage to the building.
The images created were then imported into After Effects where I made two main tasks:
-tracking  movie in order to provide the exact coordinates for  external images to move in the movie
-color-correction on each item and overall the whole composition.
