VFX Side Quest | “Take On Me” Music Video VFX Tutorial

[@theActionMovieKid]

Thanks for the kind words all. The template is pretty versatile if you’re willing to get in there and mess with stuff- especially the Form settings - I got so many cool looks and I’d love if you come up with something awesome I didn’t even think of. I love you all.

[@cvader7]

Epic...Genius work!

[@KristoferMencák]

I downloaded the project files, but there is only one folder called "Footage" - no template? Besides that, I loved it! Where can I find the template?

[@theActionMovieKid]

@@KristoferMencák - odd - we’ve checked it on this end several times. I’d suggest trying the download again and contacting support if that doesn’t get it.

[@KristoferMencák]

@@theActionMovieKid Really odd! I have tried to download several times before, always with the same results, but this time it worked! Thanks!

[@sebastianuria844]

@@KristoferMencák hi! I had the same problem but could never download the file correctly. I would appreciate it if you could send it to me somehow, thanks!

[@MatthewEncina]

This is AMAZING! Why can't all tutorials be this fun?

[@xtriple000x]

Too true Matthew

[@damodarpatel2272]

well said sir, this was the ultimate entertaining tutorial!!! hands down best totuial opening imo

[@theActionMovieKid]

Thanks, sir!

It's hard to get pretty 80s women ?

[@giosanfilippo]

Because it would take every video a month or two (in take on me vibes) to be ready to go live

[@v2highlights554]

Cant tell you how many times I watched the fist two minutes repeatedly

[@MaxonRedgiant]

Us too.

[@themolx]

Same.

[@Sonictrainkid]

Same

[@NightDocs]

this is the greatest after effects tutorial ever made

[@gnollio]

Love the intro, was worried for you regarding that high note but you nailed it!

[@hmarci]

Is this the best tutorial ever made? Probably.

[@Pikero24]

Dang I was ready for a fully sung tutorial!

[@MetalmcBiff]

There should be an award on KZbin for most incredible tutorial. I LOVE this! So good!

[@georgiusrawz264]

Man, that tutorial was an experience on its own

[@MaxonRedgiant]

When Hashi made it, we all kinda stopped and basked in its glory.

[@alezanders]

This might be the best tutorial ever made.

[@indycinema]

I'm not even done with the video, but this is the best VFX tutorial ever made.

[@indycinema]

i just finished and the zuck green screen stuff. i almost died.

[@kovulion7777]

Singing, video work and overall tutorial! Man really got 3 different masterful skills altogether!

[@GazelleAutomations]

And Hashi can also sing beautifully. Brilliant tutorial - thank you!

[@owenirvine]

This is probably the greatest video intro of all time that will never be monetised. I’ll be sitting in after effects for the rest of my life trying to replicate it.

[@FancyNancyChung]

Omgosh,... this is the most amazing tutorial EVER made! I did not stop smiling. That intro was the SHIET

[@MaxonRedgiant]

Hashi continues to impress, doesn't he?

[@FancyNancyChung]

@@MaxonRedgiant dude puts himself into his work!

[@Badgerow]

Hashi, you continue to be the ultimate master of AE and effects in general. This is outstanding. I'm equally as curious how you made the none-drawing sections feel so genuinely 80s-film-stock, it looks amazing.

[@Shrike8473]

The BEST Thing i've seen this week, Hashi Singing 👌

[@francismaglaque4535]

This is the first time I saw an instructional video in an 80's song.. what a champ!

[@utahwaxwing]

This intro was the most enjoyable intro I've ever seen. Thanks so much for your creativity and fun!

[@kaoskongo]

When he starts singing that's when you realize the tutorial has started. Amazing haha!

[@zacharywicklinemedia]

This is by far the best presentation for any tutorial i have seen on youtube.

[@GeorgeAJohnson]

This should have WAY more than 156k views, just for the pure entertainment value! This isn't just for video editors. Great work!

[@christinegoldby3238]

Truly one of my favorite tutorials ever. Just because of your singing. :)

[@theActionMovieKid]

Love ya, Christine!

We're glad you noticed all those details. Hashi did a ton of work on this one!

[@dohmchristianjosekadjodjid7135]

[@thememeequation]

The intro is literally S-Tier, I can't believe how great the lyrics and edit was, beautiful. Oh, yeah, almost forgot this was a tutorial - amazing.

[@Trollcake]

WTH does S Tier even mean? But yeah, this deserves all the awards! Impressive as heck.

[@havanother1]

[@fayyazb]

This is EPIC! FINALLY someone got close enough... in After Effects! The SONG and LYRICS are SUPER! Great work!! Thanks!

I use to hate tutorials that doesn't jump straight to the point. but dude you made me laugh

This is the best AE tutorial I've ever seen.

[@contactojaime]

After thriller, this is the best music video in history

[@Scripture-Man]

This is so, so, so, so awesome! Absolutely phenomenal. The "basic technique" is amazing. The particle effect is insane. The presentation and song in this video are stunning! And a free comp to boot! Even if I wasn't a VFX guy I'd love this video. I'd love to use this for one of my future projects, will give you full credit in the description if I do. Amazing!

Wooow this tutorial is absolutely amazing and hilarious! :D Great job!

[@emanuelporic]

Tutorial? This is beautiful artwork! This just made my day. Thank you so, so much.

[@henrikeverheijen153]

the best tutorial about After effects ever! Thank you so much

[@papasscooperiaworker3649]

Wow, this was incredible! I always wondered if I could make that Take On Me MV thing but without hand-drawing. Thanks for this :)

[@ivoiyo]

First of all, I m an artist that never used after but used photoshop. I understood in general lines the way you thought to build your piece. Thats great! Thanks for sharing the way you think with a so tasty intro ! Now I m think that I would like to use after 😍

[@danielsan6771]

I had a class with this guy, he really is this informative. Not only is this amazing in terms of tutorials, but it is a super amazing video in it of itself. This guy proves that he is the master by not only making the tutorial, but making the intro the way it is where he plays around with it beyond the video

[@AdrianJensen]

This is too good. You're looking great today!

[@theActionMovieKid]

Thanks, man.

[@Gameboy-2000]

Brilliant! Now This is my Favorite tutorial of all time❤️

[@xXnickylodeonXx]

this must've been one of the most creative tutorials I've ever seen. Can't wait to use this in a project, I've been fascinated by the music video since forever! Thank you

[@michaelkonomos]

This cover and video is legendary. I sincerely love it.

[@MaxonRedgiant]

We rewatch the intro every week.

[@michaelkonomos]

@@MaxonRedgiant LOL. "Alright everyone. Let's pull it in for a team meeting."

Cool parody/joke in the beginning and that makes this tutorial really entertaining.

Hats off Hashi, this was really something else! You're just god-level at both VFX & coming up with & presenting ideas.

Excellent video. Very amusing and a great summary of everything we're going to be seeing in the rest of the video. :)

[@TheCameraManReviews]

Oh my god!! that was epic! SUPERB video.

[@SkifNomadcat]

The intro alone deserves an award! Thank you for all the inspiration!

[@damodarpatel2272]

this was super amazing, the effect looks great + the song lyrics are hilarious!! I think I just evolved from being a fan to a super fan!!! We need more musical tutorials!!!!!!!!!!

[@xpez9694]

Impressive! Very impressive! mind blowingly clever AF!!! @1:00 too funny!!

[@JL-sc6hr]

That song intro is top notch!! We were working on creating a similar look for a story about the pandemic last year. I really love how you are using particular to create the edges of the mattes, that is really smart and a much better way to do it than the manual way we did. We were using C4D black/white cell-shade renders for our mattes. Very cool! Thank you for sharing!

[@melankolikfilms]

HO. LEE. CRAP. Perhaps the most amazing thing I've ever seen on KZbin. Hashi may be the finest human who has ever existed.

[@MaxonRedgiant]

We love him so much.

[@andrewrea3612]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial, really entertaining and informative, I love that you show the basic AE approach as well as the approach with Red Giant tools, song is f%&king catchy too!!

[@URabout2b]

Incredible tutorial. So many great techniques which can be applied to various projects. Bravo

[@hkh_vfx]

Great job, Hashi! I think you've topped Film Riot's "Turbulent Displace," which I didn't think was possible.

[@parkereimerl2]

Agreed

[@erikmaikkujawa9632]

Bro, best intro in a tutorial I've ever seen in my life👍🏻😙👌

[@ShiroNekox3]

I don't even use after effects and I got here just because I was curious at how the original was made, but this was the best video I've ever seen. You're amazing, keep it up! 🖤

Thank you for this detailed explanation, and the video is fantastic!

[@abdelrahmanmohammed1784]

Indeed.

Excellent! This made a great start to my day, thanks for posting this!

[@Vmshipe]

Wow Hashi, you got some pipes! If the whole graphics career doesn't work out I would try 80's karaoke singer for sure!!!

[@MutantWorm]

How the heck did you get those high notes? The intro song alone deserves a tutorial. Great stuff! This was bloody brilliant.

[@MutantWorm]

I just can't get over the awesome lyrics too XD

HAHAHAAHA... made my day. Thanks for this and can't wait to cook up something fun.
