Reverse Flash After Effects Tutorial! | Film Learnin

[@formoftherapy]

Hey man, thanks for doing it the hard way! Some of us don't like green screen or we WANT to film it live and this helps a lot.

You are most welcome :)

Could you do the effect when Barry throws lightning?

[@TySparrow959]

First video I've watched from this channel and already I'm subscribed and am gonna stick with it for other tutorials. I'm currently working on a video for my portfolio that includes this effect, so I greatly appreciate this!

+Co1dB1oodedPro4 Welcome to the show ;)

[@Hilariooosite]

I love how you wore a red shirt on your Flash video and you're now wearing a yellow one on the Reverse Flash video!

[@FilmLearnin]

Akram Kouta Its how I roll buddy!

[@FilmLearnin]

Damien Luu What you can do if the actor turns away, is split the eye layer at that point (ctrl/shift/D), the either delete the excess, or animate the scale and both eye layers in 3D to rotate with the actor's face until the eyes are no longer visible. Personally, I would cut to another shot rather than do the animation:)

[@damienluu847]

Thank you so much! I'll give it a try!

"Who's coming for you?" "It's not a who it's,It's a what,a Thing" "What thing?Can you be a little more specific?" "My Ancestor killed himself in an effort to erase my very existence" "The flash pulled me from the Timeline,He held me captive for months,When i finally got loose,I found my self Being...Pursued by something,I I thought it was a time wraith,The monsters,That hunt speedsters that mess with time.But What ever is Hunting me is...Far worse than a Time Wraith,He can sense the speed force And it's trying to kill me"

[@hivemind706]

Okay so the reason I'm asking you to do that tutorial is because I and some colleagues of mine are Making our version of the flash but keeping the same abilities. And one of them is phasing through solid objects. I'm trying to keep this on the down low to suprise ppl. If you want to contribute to the film just let me know dude. I love your tutorials!!! +lonearcherfilms

[@FilmLearnin]

+Original Movie Productions Wish I could dude, I don't have the time though. Flash phasing tutorial will probably be early October.

[@hivemind706]

+lonearcherfilms okay well thanks for doing the tutorial though. It's a big help tbh and if I need some help on any of the other flash effects I'll hit you up. Thanks again. And I'll put you as the VFX designer in credits just to show my appreciation :)

a question well I did everthing and I think the output is good for a rookie like me, but how to you make the optical flares vanish when you are about to run ?

[@FilmLearnin]

***** Scrub to the first frame of you running away and hit Ctrl, shift, and D and then delete the end slice of your flare in the comp :)

[@P2020pudding1]

this is an amazing tutorial! How ever I am lost when you start using the pen tool, each time I adjust the dots to match my character they do not fallow him, like they do with you at 4:25-4:30. I am not too sure wha I'm doing wrong.

[@FilmLearnin]

+Anthony Ramirez you have to hit the stopwatch on mask path, otherwise your mask won't move with your actor

Hi! +lonearcherfilms , I am spanish and i am 14 years old , I love edit and i discovered your channel and I love it! But I was searching in google,tranlators,bocks... Because in after effects i didn´t found the box blur and many days after I discover practicising and the name of box blur in after effects,tranlated to spanish is: "Desenfoque de Cuadro" Y así para otros españoles os dejo la duda resuelta,gracias!

Where did you found the vibrating sound effect ? Or did you just took an audio part of the serie ?

[@FilmLearnin]

It's an excerpt from the flash soundtrack called "the reverse flash theme" I couldn't find the sound either.

[@kartikeysharma579]

Me too

[@damienluu847]

Hey nice video! I have a question. How do I get rid of the glowing eyes when my actor turns away? At the moment when he turns away, the glowing eyes doesn't follow/turn off and It stays on the side of his head when he turns, if you know what i mean haha. Other than that everything else is perfect, as the glowing eyes are in sync with the actors eye when he is looking at the camera.

[@TheBlacksmith322]

Grant, I have done your effect before, but I am trying it for a second time (I bought optical flares) and I cannot seem to do the box blur effect. I will turn up the blur radius and iterations but nothing is happening. What seems to be the problem! I'm trying to do a Flash v Reverse Flash shortfilm and I am trying to practice for it.

[@FilmLearnin]

i know this vid is old but when I use box blur nothing happens.

[@khanhprv]

you re so awesome man :))

[@liormashenberg]

I have a question: At the end of the video you add wiggle and you write something on the timeline of the video then. to me it does not give write commands on the timeline of the video and I do not know how to add the wiggle and a few second Before you write the wiggle you press the iterations and when you clicked on the iterations showed you a red number of the effect and to me that does not appear anything like that, how can i add the wiggle There are some possibilities Options to write this effect on the timeline of the video? I have after effects CC 2015,

[@FilmLearnin]

HerobrineplaysMC Adobe After effects is the name of the program, grab a trial from Adobe.com and have a crack at the effect :) I wish I had the time to do custom stuff, but I have no spare time between my job, commission work and these episodes.

can you tell me how to put the video on a iphone 5s ?

[@hamzamughal1354]

BTW nice stuff... Keep doing

[@tonytorres1604]

So after i do the running fast effect would you put it into a pre-comp? Then do the blurring effect???

[@ryanle939]

What if the character turns around while in this effect? Wouldn't that mess up the motion tracking of the eyes since they have turned around?

[@FilmLearnin]

Ryan Le Indeed. If that was the case I would keyframe both the eye animation (for the turn around) as well as the shape of the layer with a mask :)
