Project: Eden's Garden Trailer - Editor's Commentary (Behind the Scenes)

[@AndrewMoers]

If you're in need of actual, in-depth After Effects tutorials, I linked a bunch of great videos/series in the description. All of which are tutorials I used myself, so I highly recommend them! Also, huge thank you to the 10,000 people that are now subscribed to me. I'm glad you enjoy my work! ^-^

[@critizon3074]

1:04 Woah wait what? A 7 seconds of a fire vid is 3 gb worth of storage??

[@AndrewMoers]

Nice catch - that’s specifically because it’s in AVI format, which is a lossless format so the file size is huge. However, it’s one of the only video file types that includes transparency, which is why I used it there. I’ve recently heard that there’s a “QuickTime” format usable in Adobe software that allows transparency without taking up so much space, so I’ll probably look into using that for the future. Most people online say “just use AVIs if you need transparency” which is why I’ve been using that so far

[@kittape]

When you used the character instead of the bullet- hhahhahvjajsjh

[@anwu9496]

How do you make an object or character "pop in" by using the graph editor, like in Hitfilm? Especially if you want something to "pop in" at an angle, which would use both the x and y. You'd have to separate the dimensions, which creates some weird uncoordinated movement (x pops in faster then y or vice versa). How did you do it in After Effects?

[@AndrewMoers]

My solution in After Effects has been to use the "speed graph" instead of the usual value graph, which actually controls x/y/z together more easily. I have some other problems with the speed graph itself though, but it's my best bet for now. It's a bit tricky to explain over text, so you might have to look up how to use it, but to switch to the speed graph just right click in the graph editor window and click "Edit Speed Graph". To switch back, right click again and click "Edit Value Graph".

[@NextGenDeluxZ]

Love your work can you do so of the effects in Hitfilm

[@AndrewMoers]

Technically you can, but each program has a slightly different way of doing things so it's a different process to achieve some effects between programs

[@ZelVoices]

I'm having a really hard time replicating the shatter effect you did. How'd you get the pieces to fall like that?

[@AndrewMoers]

I had the "forces" (which are basically the impact/shatter zones) positioned far off to the left, and animated their radius to slowly grow so that the pieces would be counted as "shattered" and then fall. The gravity setting under the physics tab was also turned way up to make them fall off screen faster. Here's a look at some of the settings I used for the effect: imgur.com/a/7Zm8YJ6

@@AndrewMoers oh

[@amelianatasha981]

If you doing a commission about this, how much will it be? (just curious)

[@AndrewMoers]

This isn't a universal answer, as rates depends on both the editor's skill level and the client's project in question - but historically I've charged a flat rate for projects, and set the price depending on how intense the video would be (for example, something like a gameplay trailer with mostly pre-recorded footage would be *much* easier to make, since I don't have to create every shot from scratch). For a video like this in which there are a lot of shots that all have animated elements / FX, it could average $250~ per minute of video.

[@sourcream8353]

Do you know what videos in the description (and the time stamps) would help with learning the transitioning effects kinda shown at 3:06?

[@AndrewMoers]

Those transitions are done only using camera movements, so there aren't any specific effects in play. You'd probably have to look up a tutorial for animating the camera in After Effects (I don't have any to recommend because I never used any, my camera knowledge carried over from my time using Hitfilm)

[@Adorbssss]

*HATSUNE MIKU*

[@shortfuse9443]

I’m curious, is was there some sort of storyboard they made to be used to set everything up, was there a specific order you had to show the characters off in

[@AndrewMoers]

There wasn't a storyboard (so, most of the framing/composition was up to me) but I was given a text file with a rundown on what they wanted to be shown at which parts of the song. As a fun behind-the-scenes thing, here's an excerpt of the notes I was given to start with: (these aren't supposed to be timestamps for this video, but youtube automatically turned them into links) "0:25 > logo pops up, animated 0:31 > bullet flies across the screen, across the logo 0:31-0:40 > bullets flying past the cast's ingame sprites, all silhouettes so you can only see the shapes (maybe the bullets are aimed at words or statements floating past the sprites? maybe the bullets are actually landing and shattering the statements? if that's too much, let me know.) 0:40-0:43 > zooms out to see entire cast lined up, side by side, still dark silhouettes 0:43-0:56 > 4 character splash arts: Damon>Eva>Desmond>Eloise"

How did you tweak the shatter effect and make it go right? I can't figure out how to do it.

[@basicallythatoneperson]

Question: is Samsung A11 will be compatible if the game released?

[@zuzukram]

2:18 how exactly did you tweak it because I used the same measurements but it still shattered in the middle

[@AndrewMoers]

There's a few settings not visible in the video (particularly under the "Force 1" and Force 2" tabs), this screenshot shows a bit more: imgur.com/a/7Zm8YJ6 The important part is the position of the forces, since that'll control where the shatter happens

[@zuzukram]

@@AndrewMoers thanks, I was tweaking the forces before but I couldn’t seem to get it just right.
