Damn, the cardboard idea is SO SMART!!! I wondered how you´d done it since you can see the lighting and perspective change perfectly, I thought you´d shot it for real without yourself at the end and comped it over the other one or if it was a 3D model or something. This way it´s so much easier and faster, so simple but so effective!

Many thanks!

I tried same effect with CGI: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4XKeZWal6tjn7csi=wVzTT-IyEPq1Yt6X

[@heckensteiner4713]

Awesome tutorial! I love hybrid practical/digital effects like this. The knife feels real because it is real! Especially as its flying through the air. One step further would be switching to a real knife in the wall since that's the moment where it's the least convincing. Great job!

[@SteveRamsdenYoutube]

Yes definitely

Please keep making these effects tutorials! They are so good and inspiring. Most other tutorials are way too expensive to pull off, but you are able to make some amazing effects on a budget!

Great to hear! 👍

I want to thank you for what you do man. I purchased your after effects course and it is amazing. Your teaching style is waaaaay better than most. I knew a good bit of it already but man, the stuff I didn’t know, you simplified it and made it make perfect sense. Thank you again for what you do✊🏾

[@SteveRamsdenYoutube]

So great to hear! Many thanks and glad to help 👍

[@onuohapaschal4058]

Can I have the link to your tutorials?

[@davidconnellan6875]

The off side throw will save on the effects . They used to do that with bow and arrow shots in the old western. Wip pan and the arrow goes wide

[@craig_bacon]

If green/blue screen does not work due to glow, you can use matt black cloth, and then in AE you can duplicate layer, do simple mask around the cloth square, and crunch the brightness levels so the knife is white and the cloth is black, and then that layer can be used as a Luma matt. saves a lot of masking time.

[@SteveRamsdenYoutube]

Yes for sure, another good method

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Excellent tutorial. What I love about your VFX tutorials is that they are so clearly explained that I can create them using DaVinci Resolve and adapting the techniques to Resolve's tools. Thank you.

[@SteveRamsdenYoutube]

Great to hear!

[@aidenatorx99]

I've never thought of using cardboard as an alternative to a green screen. Fascinating. I've done shots with a green screen in some old stop motion animations I made years ago and I had the reflection issue cos the figures I used were a shinier plastic. Cardboard masking is genius. Speaking of which, I know you are more of a VFX guy but if you any tips on making miniature film sets, I'd be super interested in a video about that. After seeing some videos of yours about using miniatures, I've been wanting to start using them more but not too sure where to start.

[@VinnieCamilleriMusic]

Brilliant!

You’re an very good example for great moviemaking. Thanks for this clip.🎥🎞🎬😝🚀🥁😎

You are brilliant. Keep doing these kind of tutorial bro. Love from 🇮🇳India

oh my god this tutorial is soooo good for people that dont need the full run down thank you so much!!!

[@RajPhotoEditingMuchMore]

Amazing! 🔥

[@PraviLukijanJC]

you can put a contrasting color on the cardboard like green thanks for this tutorial!

[@usmantvvlogs6852]

Great work dude!

[@NemanyaIam]

Very great shot. It's impressive how it was done with few simple clips and on low budget.

[@SteveRamsdenYoutube]

Absolutely!

Very nice tutorial -'from INDIA'

[@arafatproductions]

Those videos are really helpful for who want to make movies or short action videos.

[@MageEditz-ontop]

I did one of those when i was like 10 and i did a whip pan and i kept in a tree before that so when i did it it looked cool

[@jameshughes7947]

Another fascinating tutorial! The foley's not quite there IMO - a thin dart going into a cork dartboard makes a more pronounced sound than this, but still so enjoyable to watch and the end result looks amazing.

[@rubenkelly2971]

Great tutorial and a very impressive result!

[@SteveRamsdenYoutube]

Thank you!

[@NiceToon]

good work

[@josephineodanga-pv9hl]

Nice bro

[@FekLeyrTarg]

A very interesting one. 🙂 Regarding the masking of the knife: Would it also be possible to invert the colors of the knife shot, chroma key it and use the result as a matte? I recall the same was done for Denis Villeneuve's Dune.

Can you breakdown Dmitry Volny seamless transition video into your next content please? That's was mind blowing video transition to know how to make.. thanks.

[@InterPixelYoutube]

That is genius, how you figured out you could just take pictures with the reference shot with the moving camera

[@SteveRamsdenYoutube]

Many thanks

[@MageEditz-ontop]

Bro the cardboard was so genius

[@markanthonymagbayao7656]

what editor did you use?

[@SavageCam_YT]

Do you have any films out???

[@jeremyleonbarlow]

I think taping the knife to a fluorescent green construction paper or cardboard may have worked as well as the pen tool without reflections for a green screen and garbage masked combination.

[@colescanlan]

cool

[@35milesoflead]

Just wanted to say that I spotted you on Ramsey's future food stars the other week. Hope he wasn't as sweary with you! The thing is, I couldn't remember your name, only your face and the fact you had a KZbin channel discussing filmmaking.

Any reason why you wouldn't stick the real knife and in wall and mask it out until it it was meant to be there? Also, yes the cardboard idea is genius.

As I say in the video, to avoid reflections 🙂
