After Effects video

So after a couple of weeks of filming, editing, and fight with my computer, I finally finished my video! I’ve been playing in after effects and I had two effects in my video that was a lot of fun to do. One of which I had to find out on my own.

The cloning effect in my video was done by a method I didn’t find online. I saw many tutorial online that said to use the rectangular tool, for those of you who know After Effects and it’s tools, but instead I used the eraser tool! My lighting in my clips wasn’t consistent even though I tried and made sure that nothing changed so I can do the clone effect flawlessly, my shadow in one clip ended up in the other video so there was this ugly line and it didn’t make it look like smooth blending,

BUT the eraser tool made the two clips fade together and it turned out awesome! So to see this method in action, check out my video. =)

By the way, the opening animation was done in Photoshop and Flash – I haven’t figured out how to make super cool intros in After Effects yet haha!
