Visual Effect Blog
- Blog #1
Over the course of using After Effects and programs like it for the past few years. I have just acquired the Trapcode and Red Giant packs for After Effects. Theses packs I did look cool at much for the first couple of years, But I never got to use them . But now that I have gone past the basics of after effects , I can now see the importance of these packs. It takes affect effects and making your possibilities of things you can do easier to create.
These packs I am using them to create my three Trapcode projects/commercial's. The first commercial i'm doing is for an visual effect Ad. This ad is for particle effects in after effects. I have created a 3d earth using particle effects. Effects I used to create this earth are Force line's , Form effects , Edge effects, Glow and Red Giants Color Suite. I am going to duplicate them and make an short video of a solar system. These effects are pretty simple after messing around with the effects. Used the same glow effect copied along the other layer's.

The first month we worked on few things in are visual effect class. This Trapcode project was the first. We ended up doing a train hit after this. On the train hit project we had to film and edit a car getting hit by a train, The biggest problem we found with that project was other cars, waiting for the train. On the editing side working with all the layer's of effect slowed it down a lot because I was using keyed out video clips. Also what gave me issues was editing the 2 clips together with no color corrections because of the light difference in the clips.
