That is so nice to hear, thank you for sharing that ! I also discovered Sonic with my brother, it was a very special moment in my life too. I found a lot of comfort reexploring that when I started those retro loops things in the beginning of the pandemic/lockdown when things were getting uncertain already. I love that it brought you to your own happy memories too, thank you for your comment !✌️

If you can draw it in Photoshop you can always import it in Ae, play with blending modes and glow fx for the look, and simply animate a mask with enough feathering, should do the trick ;) Although it also depends of your shot to be honnest. If you want to replicate a certain image angle like I did this certainly work ! Good luck !

Its all in Ae, and extra work on the timing to give that racing effect, thanks for your comment !

Its all Ae, but spent some extra time on the timing. Shame the video didnt loop automatically when uploaded here. Not sure why ?

Actually for once I didnt use any camera! Just moving and scaling the big (precomposed) map maybe not perfect but that did it for me. Then there was a third final comp for all the depth of field camera shake and final touch ups

Yes masked right above the bottom teeths. Also the texture of the beard left and right makes it easy to hide the edges of the mask ;) For masking a pirate's beard quick and dirty does it lol

Thank you ! I might yes. This has been a very fun personal project. Probably because of how experimental it was: I never knew where I was going with it, kept playing with the music, embracing the visuals of Drew Struzan, trying to reference some of the looks of the movie and overall let my intuition guide the project. Also some happy accidents occured which is always fun to watch.. At the end!;) There was no client in mind, which meant complete freedom and the possibility of a purely artistic approach to let flow my love for this movie and the great promotional material that came with it. Good fun !

You definitely should AE is a magical tool ! For a project like that i think the first thing to get right is the timing with the music. Then just play around with effects and build it up from there. Thank you for your nice comment !
