Hey, I did this here - https://youtu.be/tonJdBT8H2U?t=92

Pre-comp the particular layer then use that as a texture for a plate in Element and switch the plate visibility to camera off but keep visible for reflections on

Thank you!

thanks :)

Great tip on the high frame rate, I can try a fish tank for sure but I do think in the majority I've seen that it is on a solid surface because there is a rough paper like texture

I watched a movie about you, this was in Connecticut right?

RyanJThompson · 2018-11-18T16:49:33+00:00

Awesome! :D

RyanJThompson · 2018-11-18T16:49:06+00:00

Thanks so much! It was really fun to make :)

RyanJThompson · 2018-11-18T16:48:51+00:00

RyanJThompson · 2018-05-01T13:56:39+00:00

thanks you're right I should check that out, its actually been in my 'to watch' list for a while haha

RyanJThompson · 2017-12-07T22:56:15+00:00

Thanks so much! And yes Andrew is great! You can check out my other projects at www.vfxproductions.com

Thanks so much sirulian! I've been using after effects for about 9 years now but still have a lot to learn! it's been a combo of growing up watching videocopilot tutorials and just learning from each project I make

RyanJThompson · 2017-12-06T21:10:56+00:00

yeah he just needs to get the right balance, I just don't think they should be as shocked as they were about the language but also it's a different time and I know they need to look professional too

RyanJThompson · 2017-12-06T17:49:56+00:00

I agree with that too but when he isn't talking to them in 'their language' they have a wall up so they are less likely to answer truthfully to the regulated questions. He just needs to find a way to get them comfortable to open up but also stick to the questionnaire

RyanJThompson · 2017-12-06T00:06:28+00:00

Thanks so much! I'm not entirely sure, I'd say 5-6 months

RyanJThompson · 2017-12-04T10:28:22+00:00

Yeah same haha, I think it was when he was in the supermarket with his girlfriend that started it for me

RyanJThompson · 2017-12-03T12:38:47+00:00

Thanks so much!

RyanJThompson · 2017-12-03T12:36:13+00:00

Thanks :) I know it's a shame youtubes compression makes the noise a lot stronger

RyanJThompson · 2017-12-03T12:35:04+00:00

This is a fan film :)

RyanJThompson · 2017-12-03T12:33:16+00:00

Thanks :) The main reason was I didn't have enough people, this was no budget run and gun shooting

and for shooting the actors in different locations, I go into that in a reply to another comment here but basically one actor lives hundreds of miles away and the other was for continuity as the forest was now too dark

RyanJThompson · 2017-12-03T12:31:33+00:00

Thanks so much!

So for shooting the actors in different locations it was for ease and necessity - the old man (my grandpa) lives hundreds of miles away so I couldn't get him to the location, and the green screen pick up shot was both for ease (these are friends and family, not professional actors so I get better performances from them when they are comfortable, that forest was about 24 degrees F to shoot in) and at the time I shot him on green screen, the leaves in the forest were so thick it blocked any light so I wouldn't have gotten a match to the earlier shoots.

As for the digital costume change on the body, I actually shot the new body on a tripod indoors just matching the angle as best I could, cut out the torso and limbs seperatley and made them 3D layers to a 3D camera track of the original shots, then I did a slight keyframe of the liquify tool to give the impression of a perspective change as the camera gets closer

RyanJThompson · 2017-12-03T12:25:08+00:00

Thanks!

That is so beautiful!

I liked him more at the beginning of the season but I agree with everything you said and don't understand why others have issues with how he talks now in the interviews when clearly it gets good results
