[@dukatelo]

Becoming an editor today is really a blessing, I can't imagine the horrors of warping layers or tracking points frame-by-frame, it just sounds so exhausting.

[@rossshain1893]

This kind of work was exhausting! In the mid 90's one VFX shot could easily take from 1 day to a full week. ;)

[@Uhfgood]

Fun Fact: For 1968's the love bug, animators hand tracked and hand painted out wires frame-by-frame in the "lake jumping" scene. This was before computers.

[@GhostStealth590]

Pretty much what I had to do for my short film. All my gunshots were hand crafted, with no auto assistance. Yeah I probably could have found a way to have automated it. Yet making everything from scratch is very rewarding. Especially when having so many aspects, such as the muzzle flash, background light (biggest pain), barrel smoke, and bolt smoke, as well as making the fake smoke react to different colors.... It's so fun, but very exhaustive.

[@Uhfgood]

@@GhostStealth590 - Where can I see this short film?

[@GhostStealth590]

@@Uhfgood I currently plan on posting it to a separate channel, since I made a person angry in a comment section and they dislike bombed all my videos lmao. However it should be up on another channel sometime next week (once I get the account setup and verified).

[@DowntimeMedia]

This is actually astounding. The logos on the sheet towards the end blew my mind. This is some amazing tech!!

[@RAMBOPANDASFM]

For anybody who is having an issue where there is a delay to the tracking with a weird deformation or something like that make sure that YOU DO NOT trim your footage !!! It took me 3 hours to realize the reason i had this problem was because i was trimming my footage. Do everything as he does in the video but DO NOT trim your clip. It will work !

[@strooja9032]

Just wanna thank you for all your great videos.Saw round about 10 years ago your video about a Harry potter effect and liked it so much that i started to create effects by my own. I became a FX Artist for movies the last years and starting now with fx for videogames. Thanks again for all your great work

Wow this is amazing! Everything lives SO WELL on those surfaces!

[@halfbee7886]

Every Film Riot episode ever: "This is not sponsored." Man, get them to sponsor you already!

[@petersolomon5227]

Quite. And the (non) sponsor’s instruction in editing trailers has nothing to do with the technical, along with life experience required to edit feature films and documentaries. Unless you want everything to look hyped and manic that is.

[@drachenmarke]

this channel is a constant grift.

[@thisiseric]

This blows my mind. Much like when content aware fill made it to photoshop, I think this will be a gamechanger for indie filmmakers looking to up their production value for little cost.

@@Some__Rando Mesh tracking is there in Avid version but only useful for roto due to limitations in Media Composer's compositing workflow. We hope to have the Mesh Insert working in Avid soon.

[@Liam-lu4bm]

Might give this a go with some of my upcoming uni projects!

[@Nikkizsche]

For those who are having trouble and their mesh isn't tracking. You need to make sure you precomp all of your footage before attempting any of this. I was having trouble and after i precomped both my footage and tattoo, it worked (thank fuck)

[@connorvera07]

I tried that but it still isn’t working

[@connorvera07]

Update: it worked. It must have been my user error but precomping worked!

[@christopherwhite7365]

Thank you, like so many things in the world of After Effects, it makes no sense that you have to PreComp it before, but it works!

[@samyehya]

Yes the old film riot is back

[@MyMomDrank]

Followed this step by step, meticulously, and simply won't move. Choosing "stabilize warp" made the tattoo distorted and sit out of place. "Lens undistortion" puts it back in the ballpark where it belongs, but it simply isn't following where the mesh should be. This happening with anyone else, and remedy?

Awesome, thank you!

[@MichaelDHead]

Question: David Fincher uses digital blood almost exclusively, including running/actively bleeding wounds (See: Girl with Dragon Tattoo - Daniel Craig's bleeding head cut). How could we use these techniques to create simulated flowing blood? Glad to see your videos again!

[@ethanhegel8576]

That’s an interesting application. Usually stock blood is filmed running down a smooth surface. It’d be really cool if this effect would make the blood contour to different shapes as it went. It probably would. 🤔

[@DaCarnival]

That's a full fluid simulation with a 3D model underneath the footage - much higher level stuff, and requires VFX expertise and a lot of time to pull of convincingly.

[@TheBoeboe]

3D software fluid simulations

[@mrbennett]

@@TheBoeboe Not necessary. Just do like Ethan said and use the liquify tool or any other layer warping tool to warp the blood around the contour for the key frame.

I'm using this method to track in texture onto low resolution footage as a way of remastering it to high res, starting with skin texture on faces.

[@Jhakaro]

Could the mesh be utilised in some way and exported so as to work for a kind of facial motion capture?

[@jaroslavlajta]

This is awesome, I tried Lockdown (plugin) but it doesn't work that well.

[@MrTrepTower]

can something like this be used to add a reflective surface to an object and have it have the correct distortion?

[@sh0tiphone]

amazing!!

Hi! Is there some sort of process to apply a deformation on the left side of a face that starts rotating from left to right? 😭😭😭 (the deformation is done in photoshop).

[@user-vn7ce5ig1z]

7:11 - Hollywood is going to be the biggest consumer for all the crazy A.I. techniques that are constantly being developed.
