Leap of Faith - Assassin's Creed VFX breakdown - After Effects

[@MichaelWarbux]

This was a great tutorial, and also a great way to show me that I don't have any kind of patience for After Effects. Much respect to you!

[@gaurangpanchal1684]

Loved this tutorial. Don't remove any of your videos. They are very helpful.

[@lustrate1]

You are amazing at what you do man one day i want to achieve the effects you pull off

[@Brofain]

Wow that was a crazy amount of work for that one shot. Respect +2

[@thevfxbro]

@EdEditz yupp, so good

[@thevfxbro]

thanks for the support!

[@ironjohnson1]

I didn't even notice the garage was fake in the video. Nice work man.

[@dandasheh1]

man u are the most professional person I sow in my whole life. keep that amazing work

[@thevfxbro]

@NiallHornProductions it was really more about getting the pan around shot (just like in the video game) than anything else

[@Mastersun88]

wow this looks like it was a lot of work I am seeing it more and more now as I try to do this at the colorado film school everything requires good deal of work in post.

[@Urbanfire123]

wow so much effort... for just 5 seconds of footage. I'd hate to think what movies like Avatar had to go through for their CGI effects!

[@DangerSFE]

This is amazing. This makes 3d modeling the building seem like the easy way. lol

[@MisterNatMan]

this is great, I'm learning AE on my own as well.. so much work went into this! I would've probably really attempted to do it on the big building and put the camera on a stick or something lol

[@rockstarahmed]

Finally There's the tutorial I was waiting fro months for it Isaid hundred times for this tutorial 327 viewer

[@thevfxbro]

thanks!

[@thevfxbro]

@TazBazMagic tanks

[@thevfxbro]

@nightwingsurfer ae is easier to user for something like this and more people have it which makes for a more useful tutorial

[@thevfxbro]

yes it is :)

[@RedOnyxProductions]

Fanastic. Great work as always.

[@q1joe]

@DangerDigital01 It is the easy way, but this way he has so much more control of it in AE

[@udoninjaAQW1]

@kingamer008 you can't rotated the camera outside of where you can reach, the camera angle was at least 15-20 feet away

[@TrickshotCEO]

where do you guys learn all this ?

[@SEThatered]

@djcrote76 He doesn't need to be 3d. Matching is done by moving the camera on a boom by the same trajectory in scenery and actor shoot. More work on the stage = less work at post processing.

[@JoeyDevMusic]

very cool technique..didn't think you could get this high quality by using only after effects I like it :p

[@DATABASEMedia]

Jesus... this dedication. amazing work, we now know that we will never ever do this for such a simple shot :P Id honestly just put someone up on the building and use a drone hehe

Powerfull ! You make that looks easy ! I want to try Good Job !

[@Boodhunnilesh]

great tut as always vfxbro keep it up and thx !!

[@ahshang86]

@thevfxbro you are so awesome !

[@superbomb120]

@SouthCamoProductions Because they needed to move the camera out in the air, which isn't really possible without camera rigging and such..

[@NiallHorn]

Thanks for this your work is great!

[@NLENinjaEffects]

And I thought my dock was stacked. Look like you have all the major NLEs like myself and the Nuke programs. How are you enjoying those?

[@gphiproductions]

Wow! Very nice!

[@krishanbansalphotos]

Aaron, I like this workflow, but I have to say using 3ds max to model the buildings nad place them in the shot would have been my workflow.

[@raj271094]

Awesome video. And one thing, you misspelt "Assassin" 0:03

[@thevfxbro]

you can learn it online for free! tutorials

[@thevfxbro]

THeres no way to get a dolly around shot like that with our jib which is iconic to the game. THanks for the insight though

[@stickshift76]

last half of 0:15 Your video's are sick!

[@eddieloera]

I'm not sure if someone had pointed it out yet, but you spelled "Assassin's" wrong at the end of the video. Approx. 7:56

[@kuunami]

@Andreasrantzau doing so slows down your computer. You just make sure that you render in full res.

[@epiem]

WOW! Skills. That seems like that would take a while and require quite a bit of work...wouldn't there have been a better way to get ledge footage than to *make* the entire thing? I thought you guys used a JIB for parts of the video...couldn't you have just extended the JIB over a ledge? After finishing, did you wish you had tried something else instead?

[@epiem]

ah, ic. Well, good work!

[@Mirza_Media]

LMFAO I seriously thought Finalcutking was on that ledge of a building then when he showed that he wasn't. I then realized that how the hell would he of got that shot off the building going around.

[@Mr16thPrestige]

could u plz do a tutorial on how i would take a shot of me in front of a green screen, and place me on top of a 3d model from cinema 4d (essentially the same as you do here, just not quite as elaborate with the background)

[@HussainAlMarkhi]

Amazing ,, i will back later to test it :P

[@nightwingsurfer]

why did you choose AE over C4D for the building and why didn't you place Zach in front of a greenscreen? How did you get such a good key from the sky? Love your work. It looks like you spent thousands of hours in front of the computer. Remember to take a break from time to time. ;-)

[@deadcell1]

You've forgot to mask out the buildings on the right when the camera pan above the brick wall at 0:14

[@EdEditz]

Is that the pt_Panorama script from aescripts. com you're referring to?

[@ActionFreestyle]

Used a effect called "cc remove wire". damn.. first i thought you were kidding! :D

[@RAWCreativeMedia]

Impressive, that was a lot of work for one short shot. I would have died.

[@thevfxbro]

@ahshang86 4-10 hours a day usually

[@thevfxbro]

@TheTLTLHeadquarters pftrack

[@patricksudbury]

Get Motion 5 if you have a mac. You can do almost the same things as after effects. ;)

[@Puneyguneystudios]

this video was also in suggested vids...so not just for Facebook

[@MissinoKing]

I saw this before Final Cut King like in feb I was soooo confused but I saw the thing today and I was like ohhh this is that thing I saw thins year

[@clausian-ingenuity]

@thevfxbro have you tried fusing AutoCAD with AfterEffects? That stuff is really cool

[@pegasusgalaxy68]

Hey thevfxbro, interested to know what programme you are using and is it available or similar in Australia. Many thanks. Cheers :D

[@GetYouUp]

@jesperjee just spend more time on after effects and you understand it. just take some tutorials and just do em and you'll get better.

[@VFXAB]

AWESOME

[@finalcutqueen]

I should have jumped for real....

[@henryvasquez6304]

this is some crazy ass shyt in this tutorials, looks like madd work lol

[@toosYouTube]

that was cool man

[@leomaxvfx5583]

What set up do you use generally when going to film? I want to start building my kit up

[@sam.ruesink]

? it's impossible unless you're on a platform outside of it to get that perfect circular motion going around like here, and in the game. in the game, when you "synchronize" at the top of a viewpoint, it does a 360 around the character looking out. That'd be impossible

[@thevfxbro]

i have after effects basic training on vfxbro.com as well as a free beginners pdf download

[@LeNickNL]

What Mac are you using? Will the lower 27'' run AE good enough or is the high 27'' a must for AE and other video editing programmes?

[@esosmond]

Very nice tutorial. However at 0:15, the buildings on the right weren't masked out. Other than that, it is really good.

[@akginfinity]

how long have you and zack been making these videos?

[@javilionaire]

This is so damn confusing for beginners though! I have no idea to turn the walls into a garage and street like you did. I've watched the 3D tutorial, but it doesn't help too much with this :(

[@SashaiLana]

Hi, I am new to after effect I used adobe premiere a lot, so I am familiar with the software, but can you recommend me how to start and if you have some tutorials for beginers. Cheers

[@dpweddings]

@SEThatered dont know of any 4 story booms and the movement would be really shaky

[@SunLord101]

@elewint Ahaha true that, but the vfxbro would have had trouble describing that into a 20 minute video :)

[@PLopezproduction]

i saw the the foundry nuke icon in your desktop , can you make a tutorial of this?? Thanks

[@zackydean]

If only thevfxbro could reply to this....

[@aram2347]

are you using adobe after effects?:) I wish I could learn animation your to cool :))

[@therealcanyon]

Do the frozen in the air effect where he jumped off the stairs and killed the dude!!!!

[@PlantingSodaFilms]

I cant tell if your dock is really small or if your screen is really big

[@ahshang86]

how much time do you spend on this visual effect?

[@ahshang86]

@ahshang86 do u mean just only one scene ....seriously?

[@rockingheadbangers]

great work! but you misspelt the word assassin at 8:01

[@CrazyClownGuy]

Do you own a red camera? I ask because of the red software on your computer dock.

[@shawnio]

yeah talk about how to make this extremely difficult. this was so complex for no reason at all.

[@SEThatered]

This was awesome, but kinda backwards. I mean wouldn't it be a little easier to film a parking lot with a boom, and then green screen the person into the scenery?You don't even need to adjust the lighting if an actor is filmed on the same roof at about the same time.

[@NOIive]

Is that the new parking structure at Biola?

[@thevfxbro]

@KennyUNC pftrack and mocha

[@onjofilms]

Nice.

[@MoviesSoundTrackDB]

nice

[@WaheedaRahman]

hey can anyone tell me if there is a difference between CGI and VFX, and do any of them have a link to animation? i probably sound stupid asking this but im so confused :(

[@ericpaul7035]

Make a full tutorial of this video I need your help Gave contact Come to india And work in film

[@NiallHorn]

@ninjahameboy Because this is the movies!!!!

[@dolphin64575]

would you be willing to work with Platoon of Power Squadron?

[@8802rocks]

that looks advanced

[@deluxturtle]

lol kansas city nice. I love union station!

[@dallasjthompson]

YES! you use canon EOS D series!!

[@AhmadALderabany]

pro where link ur project we need Picture and building

[@setsolutionit]

0:15 ... the houses in the right fly over the wall !!! A little mistake ;) apart from that great vid!!

[@JTkingofawesome]

@thevfxbro is your task bar full enough?

[@albertohardja]

can i do the 3D motion tracking with camera tracker?

[@sam.ruesink]

yeah, but it circles around him. unless they had a dolly going over the ledge, it would be impossible

[@EmooGhost]

Can you make videos more often ??? :D
