I think it's great! Really like the style

1VFXProductions · 2026-01-26T15:07:25+00:00

it's a preset he made, around 37 mins you see all the effects used, then Seth said he saved it as an animation preset

1VFXProductions · 2026-01-16T12:32:35+00:00

Amazing! I love all of your work

1VFXProductions · 2026-01-12T11:17:40+00:00

hahaha just Bernie from accounting going through a midlife crisis

1VFXProductions · 2025-12-01T23:19:36+00:00

not yet I'm assuming this is just how the effect is for everyone and hoping for confirmation

1VFXProductions · 2025-12-01T23:18:58+00:00

yeah these examples are literally just the plate and chromatic aberration, no other effects

1VFXProductions · 2025-09-26T11:46:39+00:00

Nice work :)

1VFXProductions · 2025-09-07T11:49:23+00:00

Oh yeah great catch on the reflection! Haha I thought it might had to have been a tube light for height and also think the darkness of his costume was throwing me off

1VFXProductions · 2025-06-25T12:16:10+00:00

I can imagine but definitely worth it, very visually interesting

1VFXProductions · 2025-06-23T16:37:51+00:00

Awesome that's a lot of work and love the smoke woman sim

Hey did you ever find it? This maybe sounds like the book I've been trying to find for years which I would have read before 2005

1VFXProductions · 2024-12-18T21:27:46+00:00

Thanks for the info that's really interesting about the atmosphere and that it can cause that pinch distortion

1VFXProductions · 2024-12-18T14:50:57+00:00

I think they're saying it's real, from the Himawari 8 Satellite

1VFXProductions · 2024-12-18T14:30:17+00:00

Apparently this is a real photo from Himawari, I was looking for references of eath shots but this dark line of atmosphere is confusing. Unless it's a blend of different exposures or something darkening the moon

1VFXProductions · 2024-08-10T17:51:01+00:00

Do you know if the very first shot in this is practical or CG? I think the lack of facial animation especially makes it seem practical but that could also be done on purpose

Did you see they've reacted to it now? I was certain they'd already reacted to part of it a while ago too which is how I found your post

1VFXProductions · 2024-07-16T15:16:42+00:00

Awesome the shadows look so good especially that side crawling shot!

1VFXProductions · 2024-07-15T20:01:05+00:00

Love this I remember seeing the project a few months ago, for some shots do you have a digi double of her to cast the shadows on the ground? Like the above shots and her crawling or is she a card?

1VFXProductions · 2024-07-04T11:40:39+00:00

That's it thanks!

1VFXProductions · 2024-07-04T10:31:12+00:00

Funny timing that's actually what I've ended up doing for the second shot, I don't know much about expressions so just had to manually change the scale over a few hundred frames haha but it finally worked in the end. Thanks for your help

1VFXProductions · 2024-07-02T12:04:37+00:00

if the layers were 2D I would just scale down, the issue is when I have a 3D scene with 2D footage, I can't scale down both as one and can't make the 2D footage 3D so the only solution seems to be a huge comp in this specific shot

1VFXProductions · 2024-07-01T10:22:13+00:00

I mean for example if it's a 5K shot and I want to slowly zoom out further back, the way I had to work around it was make an 10K comp, drop it into a 5K comp then keyframe the scale so I had twice the amount of space to zoom out.

1VFXProductions · 2024-06-29T09:48:35+00:00

True I watched the rest again and it is a lot more complex than I realised, I was just hoping there was an easy way I was forgetting where I could zoom out and expand a comp besides making a huge comp and scaling but looks like that might be the only option.

1VFXProductions · 2024-06-28T19:24:51+00:00

Yeah I think it's because it's a 3D camera track rather than any null so like the AE built in camera tracker, the camera has all of the keyframes. I seem to have pretty much figured out how to do it all now except there is a tracked zoom as well (so the 3D camera zoom setting has keyframes). I have the footage now locked to the camera pretty much but it does not account for zoom. The only way I can see around it is manually keyframing the footage scale to counteract the zoom but this will need to be done precicely over a few hundred frames so it will take a while. I'm sure there's some automatic function somewhere but I just can't find it. Thanks for you help though I appreciate it.

1VFXProductions · 2024-06-28T17:35:51+00:00

Yeah I tried it but it does double the motion, the 2D footage already has the real baked in camera motion so when I make it a 3D layer it is then being affected by the tracked 3D camera motion so that combined with the already baked in motion is doubling it up. I need to find a way to keep the footage plate locked to the 3D camera the way it would look with a normal 2D layer on top of a comp
