Using AI For VFX | Midjourney + After Effects

[@CinecomCrew]

This looks insane Ryan, awesome use of Midjourney

[@alfranko1896]

Hi

[@raminmanproduction3925]

take love form your subscribe

[@hytowangh3934]

Midjorney is the name right?

[@InternetCity]

I’d pay for a vfx course from y’all 🥺! This was amazing! Loved this

[@oldsarge52]

I have 50 stories stacked up to blend VFX and Midjourney prompts. Its an amazing concepting tool for the rest of us storytellers that aren't concept artist.

[@susu666]

i love how your first video about this was how midjourney was good for concept art but not much else and now you've gone this far with it.. great to see :)

[@n.i.c.k.f.l.e.t.c.h.e.r]

You could use the Zdepth generator in something like runway ml and use that to drive a displacement map to subtly cheat a camera move

[@Ben-rz9cf]

Thanks a million for this idea

[@MertBert]

A beloved method by Ian Hubert, the Blender-artist!

[@SpirusFilms]

Great technique yep, I think the newest version of Photoshop has an ai depth map generator in its new neural filters

[@bradfab_fx]

You should make a tutorial about that

[@S9universe]

@@SpirusFilms you think or it's sure

[@samgraef3028]

Could be cool to use MidJourney through a projector in the background of a scene. Obviously wouldn’t work for a lot of scenarios, but if you needed a stain glass window, you could put that into MidJourney, blast it through a projector onto a wall behind a character and throw it out of focus. Could be cool

[@Beyondarmonia]

Instead of projector think of those "screens all over the place" thing they used in Mandalorian

[@samgraef3028]

@@Beyondarmonia I would definitely agree, it’s just that no one on a low budget has access to LED walls. Projectors are more affordable and flexible for no-budget filmmaking

[@ploopy8780]

Why not just look up a picture of a stained glass window lol

[@Beyondarmonia]

@@ploopy8780 Because the stained glass window was just an example, you dim*** There's of course going to be things that we don't readily have pictures of.

[@samgraef3028]

@@ploopy8780 right you are! I didn’t think about that until after I posted the comment lol. I guess if you wanted a very specific mood or something you could still use MidJourney.

[@fayyazb]

This is just OUTSTANDING! Great tips and tricks! Loved it! Hoping to see many more like this.

[@JRBEditor]

I've used midjourney for texturing as well as prop making so basically like posters, warning labels, and menus at restaurants you should attempt this as either some practical effect with printing them out as actual props or using them in a 3D situation for like blender which is what I did, also not to shout myself out but I did make a video on doing this stuff

[@santifante]

I've just watched that video, pretty stick! Keep it up

[@topicruben]

Somebody told me that I pay a lot of attention to details…, I’m laughing! You even changed the the little light reflections far away to make them look as if they were from an anamorphic lens 😭. This is insane, man. It kind of looks like an idea I had for a short🔥… Thanks Ryan. I love everything you guys produce 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@daniel_caron]

Yeah, this is pro, no doubt.

[@topicruben]

@@daniel_caron mannnnnnn, 💯 % love this channel!

[@molugusatyapriya2]

Impressive to see how Midjourney can enhance After Effects for VFX creation! The tutorial makes it easy to understand and apply these powerful AI techniques.

[@danielgyorky8357]

Few days ago I started using midjourney for the poster of my short films. It's so impressive!

[@TimothyStovall108]

Been having so much fun with this software! It is fun and tricky using different word prompts to get what you're envisioning. Really have been wanting to experiment with 3d effects, but something I need to learn now. Awesome video. Thank you

[@Harrisonjnr]

A million dollar work, done for fun, marvel would be jealous

[@puresourcenaturals2374]

That intro is the visual example of passing a kidney stone

[@AustinThomasFilms]

Great use for ai art! I've wondered if it will help with the creation of matte paintings in the future. Also, glad to see you guys are almost at 2 million subs

[@jorttimmer]

Wow, this is exactly what I wanted to see!

[@雪鷹魚英語培訓的領航]

Dang. Some of the most photo realistic work I've seen from you guys! Amazing how lighting is such a big part of this in every art form.

[@3rdtreeproductions357]

AMAZING! My brother just put me own yesterday. Y’all killed it. Now I wanna check it out!!!

[@EricFullerton]

Oh man, I'm so hooked on MJ. I cannot step away from the prompt.

[@jobz9150]

Same here buddy. I'm kinda addicted to it. I even subscribed to their basic plan. Lol

[@TeluguSuperhumans]

Mind blowing!

[@ImaginationFolder]

That's freaking amazing. You guys always nail it.

[@armando.visuals]

I truly LOVE this channel. Seriously

[@jonassteger-jensen4136]

New tuts for Element 3D in 2023. LOVE IT! :D Great work!

[@DaynenBiggs]

Always teaching me new stuff these guys! Thanks for the awesome tutorial!

[@gingerdog8203]

Nice but generally, the shadows edited in should match the angle and opacity of the other shadows in the scene

[@Ratteler]

Some one really needed to sweep up that church... So good on telekinetic guy.

[@birdonfiremedia]

Incredible. Amazing work as always!

[@fabianoperes2155]

3:52 I prefere to make ths shadow layer 3D and rotate it (about) 90 degrees so it lies down on the floor. Shadows are projected on the floor. The way you did it was as if it was rotated about 180 degrees, what is more like how a ray traced reflection would work.

[@straighttrippingmusic]

Thanks guys.. Always blessing us with some dope ideas/techniques!.. I'm a try something out.. :)

[@Will_Huff]

Fantastic use of MidJ for plates..so cool! Thank you!

[@jokubasvaicius]

I am speechless! Super great turbo job!!! Thank your for sharing all these tips and techniques ❤️

I can't wait to see myself practiceing all these amazing video editing skills. U guys keep inspiring us how to become a good video editor 👍

[@foxworthmedia]

Amazing tutorial as always!!! You guys are making me feel like a broke version of ILM with these great tips and tricks. Thank you!!!

[@johnkapatais2725]

Amazing. Just amazing! Mind blowing how awesome you guys are!!!!!

[@ltdeltrice9423]

As someone new to film making…this scares me…but in a good way. Great video!

[@bestsplitscreengames]

Very nice, first time saw midjourney used for filmmaking! And its great tool to use .

[@faisalf888]

This is masterpiece totally, love it 😍

[@susu666]

one unsolicited suggestion is for your prompts, put more camera/lens type stuff in there. especially if you know the terminology, obscure specific terminology really helps

[@S9universe]

came for the ai thang and stayed for the edit ♥ as usual

[@the180degreerule3]

Midjourney to Unreal Engine through AI will be mad crazy!

[@Aasmrrrelax1]

im just starting and tNice tutorials video was perfect.Well explained and easy to follow for a beginner.I never understood soft soft till i watched tNice tutorials.

[@DaleBerry]

Holy sh*t. WOW. Mind blown

[@MtZionMediaPro]

Impeccable work!! 👏🏾 I love this tutorial, I I'm sure the same process could be done through DaVinci Resolve. I think that adding some reverb & echo to his voice would help also!

[@MindOfW]

Ark 2 looking good 😍

[@MoonlightStudiosX]

Do they have a video for a tutorial for each infinity vfx pack ?

[@MarcyFilms]

Dude, this is amazing!

[@jimimckay69]

Ryan, you're always one step ahead! You sure know how to change the game with every new video. Is it possible to use Midjourney to create a 3D environment in Unreal Engine or Blender?

[@devfromthefuture506]

Use Stable diffusion

[@Kharazm4th]

This channel is indeed informative and very generous, special thanks.

[@cambulator3769]

This is one of the best non element 3d tutorials out there. It was awesome!

Are you guys doing the make film challenge this year. I would really like to participate.

Amazing. Ill use this trick for my future projects. 👍.

Love the tutorial! Great

[@SeyaDiakite7]

Thank you for existing pal

[@BanginGearsGarage]

Is the "broadcast transmission" intro/outro something you created as well?

[@RogersPhotographyOG]

This is exactly how I'm currently using my MJ creations. I don't MJ necessarily to create out of the box "art". I use it to enhance develop backgrounds for images I already created in camera. You have to take a good amount of time to develop prompts and also edit the final creations to suit your project. It's certainly not just a click. The great thing is that you have a set builder right at your fingertips, and dirt cheap too! BTW you should give Davinci Resolve😉

[@rizkydharma8373]

Amazing video as always man!

[@zongmuas]

When you read the "DO NOT READ THIS". LOL

[@studiospero]

I always enjoy your tutorials. Well taught and concise. A quick question: do you use makeup when filming these? I ask because the skin tones are so creamy and perfect. Or is it just because of the camera setup/color editing in post?

[@focusmedia2465]

This tutorial rocks! 🤓

[@doityourselfpakistan6535]

its just a background matt painting or picture from mid journey , which you can get from free pic or other sites , rest was done in after effects with 3d element , which is more harder part.

Hey Film Riot I'm a big fan of yours and I really liked the episode! I'd be very happy if you make an episode that explains how to copy the effect in the movie "Top Gun: Maverick" when Tom Cruise is shot with a helicopter (CG) after he crashes, in any case I really appreciate the work you're doing :)

[@Deadrio_198]

i think you should add little motion blur too on rocks .... but this scene is also looks so cool

[@bananaorangeguy5277]

very informative tutorial!

[@MCADA_TV]

can you make a similar tutorial with a moving camera in green screen?

[@wesleyvanos]

The shots with the red background and floating reminds me of Doctor Strange.😆

[@hopperhelp1]

Neat. Great idea, thank you.

[@funfilmphilippines]

This is almost better than Turbulent Displacement.
