UFO Effect Tutorial (After Effects)

[@EverythingFilm]

UFO Yeah! Is such a classic short film. Nope has honestly a unique plot

[@JonathanCruz-rj2ys]

Wow, that effect looks EXPENSIVE. Great job!!

[@besknighter]

I'm always so amazed by how you guys are incredible at comping. Damn

[@Lupo2punto0]

if you want to do a "closer to ground fly-by", you can add a second object group in element, set it as matte reflections, and create a plane with the ground texture and add the person (using a simple model of a CG person) for a better reflection.

[@FivosVas]

Guys...This is the cleanest most realistic UFO you've done so far!! amazing

[@MoorishMade]

I don’t know what’s more scarier; the UFO or the UFO with human lips, singing to me before abducting me into the Abyss. 😂

[@iantripp]

I REALLY REALLY think Ryan, you’d make a great Chronicle-esque found footage movie as your first feature. DIY it too. Don’t wait for it to be a studio thingy just cause Sandberg and Trachtenberg got their films that way. So many other great story tellers and features being made from self authorship resources as you and your team consistently prove excelling in. Look at Benson&Moorhead. They made a $20 grand feature in their home town and parlayed that into an indie sci-fi career and are now directing A-listers and episodes of Marvel TV.

[@cambulator3769]

These tuts are just awesome. It’s the little extra details that make each shot from good to Hollywood good, that I really appreciate. Thank you for making these clips. It would be even better to see some skits like you use to do. They were excellent viewing.

[@AustinThomasFilms]

Always love the VFX tutorials. With the release of Prey, it would be neat to see you guys replicate the Predator invisibility effect.

[@LFPAnimations]

I am always surprised how much you guys can pull out of after effects using simple comp tricks. The FX in the real movie were so much more complicated than this, but your version is somehow still passable to an audience.

[@phill.19]

For God, it's incredible how you achieve some impressive results using only after effects while I could consider using Cinema 4D, Houdini, and so on but could never reach something like yours.

[@704jae]

Jordan is literally my favorite director and I was waiting for you guys to make a vid on nope 👏🏽

[@varskidajahles]

Ive been watching since the diy slider days and i have to say that i love all of your progress and success. great content!!!

[@OmgItsAlexOfficial]

Very cool! But I'm a little lazy on the editing front... I'll try summoning a real alien craft first to get it in-cam.

[@saberpotatoboy4151]

The results look SO GOOD! awesome tutorial

[@metalliholic]

Damn, this and the Star Wars one are just perfect.

[@manuelneni4711]

WOW you guys are incredible at TUTORIALS

[@COSCOSBEATS]

So beautiful 👏👏👏

[@smepable]

Uhh, the Fog feature is awesome! Andrew Kramer for President!

[@olsonspeed]

Yup! Very convincing effect.

[@BrunoAlbuquerqueCinema]

I would love to see a tutorial showing how to achieve this particular day to night look, but with no clouds at the sky. Great content as always, guys!

[@johnyserna5570]

I can’t wait to watch a full length feature for you guys!

[@malachidamm]

danggggg I think this is ur best effects yet!

[@marcusnobreus1967]

You guys are so awesome! Yep! Hahaha! I can't believe how good you guys are at creating all of this! It's been so helpful over the years!

[@kerhabplays]

Both Nope and Yup has an insane edits

[@nrim9323]

Never usually comment but I gotta say this use of Luma with the smoke and the UFO came out of the blue and was straight gangsta

[@Smaalerbedwarswet]

Thank you so much for everything you do film riot 😁

[@xXx-lfg]

I knew straight away that you took inspiration from Promethius, one of my fav scenes.

[@yazzieyaz740]

Thanks for this , I wanna make a UFO short film in the future , inspired by Nope 🔥🔥

[@limeatchangex9526]

Thank you! I'm about to do a similar comp, so you helped a lot! Cheers!

[@pixel325]

Nope.. Yep.. cracked my up lol and awesome video, always nice to see your tutorial stuff :) cheers!

[@Andy001z]

Although I'm a HitFilm user, I love your tutorials, there is always something that makes me go, hmmm wonder if I can do that.

[@ROKRSTUDIOS]

“yep” lol my kinda humor

[@artakturner]

amazing tutorial!

[@Hex_Hub_Plus]

Can you do a tutorial on VFX for Water CGI? As far as manipulating water or in environments. Or to even be more specific, the last battle scene in Shang-Chi.

[@hertz6314]

freaking good job damn

[@grainghoul]

Killed it

[@patrickjesseman354]

Freakin great tips Ry! Awesome as usual, inspirational and motivational. Now I'm looking forward to using the techniques!

[@PRO_FV]

📣 Nice tutorial Ryan! 🔥🔥🔥

[@carelessnoob312]

Amazing Thank You for tutorial .

[@soulresonance4073]

This movie was pretty good not gonna lie💕

[@legostudios953]

I agree I love this film and can't wait to get it on DVD

[@ChrisEdoria]

This is amazing omg.

[@nikolasdiallo]

Dude, damn! That’s insane, I love this

[@AwakenedFaith]

To everyone reading this... It’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you find that you're not, I pray you’ll find the courage to start over. Stay blessed guys!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@demo_venom]

HOLY THAT'S VERY GOOD!

[@straighttrippingmusic]

What does the precomping and using Luma inverted do?.. It hides the ufo where ever the smoke is?? I got to learn these luma modes.. :)

[@VFXProductionsRT]

yeah luma and luma inverted mattes use the bright and dark values of the precomp to matte the layer beneath, this used precomps because there was multiple smoke layers but if you just have one you can use it as a luma matte without needing to precompose

[@straighttrippingmusic]

@@VFXProductionsRT thanks I got to mess with it more.. It's like masks in Photoshop. I'm good with Photoshop trying to get better at after effects. 😁

[@VFXProductionsRT]

@@straighttrippingmusic Yeah exactly that's a great comparison :)

[@cdiva888]

You tutorial is very helpful !Thank you!

[@OBALEHVIEW]

Guys are amazing.,. thanks for the tut.,

[@Nisarjosh1]

loved your work always

[@teun_snijder8856]

Ah, damn. That’s a bummer. Movie’s not out yet in the Netherlands. I was avoiding everything. Did not suspect this channel.

[@alikhawar520]

Could you please show us a behind the scenes of making of one of these effects and especially how you guys take notes while you apply these effects for the voice over in the video? I think taking notes of all the effects you apply for the video, must be hard work.

[@johntnguyen1976]

Wonderful as always! But can we talk about the jacked up car that's in the bottom left of the frame?!

[@RobbieSkaff]

looks great

[@sardonyx1486]

Where did you film the house footage at @0:25? Or is it stock/digital?

[@topicruben]

AMAZING

[@NobleUnclean]

awesome!

[@gabrielmachadobsb]

Hoyte Van Hoytema: literally invents a new technology to film day for night with dark skies Film Riot: haha cloudy weather goes boom

[@YeagerFilm]

Good stuff! 💪

[@Les3srcm]

0:40 where this shot comes from?

[@recklesschild4537]

You are dope bro! Damn , thank you so much, subbed

[@Filmitvfxstudios]

YEP lol that cracked me. Up lol genius

[@MediaEdits2701]

[@grugbug4313]

Solid! Top KEK!

[@TB_Cinema]

Are you guys doing the make film challenge this year?

[@InceptiveDOP]

When I hear that theme song I light my joint and prepare after effects

[@phoenix2gaming346]

vfx in after effect wow

[@OurVoicesOurLives]

Awesome

[@SirSeabass]

I just read an article about how they used a special rig for Day for night. Any insight on how they made it look so good?

[@palf75]

Great tutorial - to be honest thought it was going to be a sequel to UFO- Yeah to start off with.

[@ItsCliffGaming]

You guys are just going to casually omit that awesome hair blowing in the wind you did on the actress in the first shot (Emily?).

[@valentinjoubrel]

this is fcking dope

[@TheMilkman-ur5ip]

Hey Ryan, do you think you could try a take on the invisibility effect from the recent movie Prey?

[@tiltedroom]

Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@wirelesmike73]

I'm just repeating myself at this point, but... You guys do really amazing work. ♾👍🛸

[@Shanefaye]

Yeah I totally got all that in one watch! 😏

[@Kuliginvitalik]

You ar the best!!!

[@Mr.Doruko]

Perfect train ty

[@AoThuatHaiPhong]

Can you Make tutorial for the multiverse glass shatter effect on Everything Everywhere all at once ?

[@ItsYaden]

Do you think you guys could do a background super speed affect, kinda like how the background looks when atrain killed blue hawk in the boys when he was running.

[@SirSeabass]

Loved that movie. So good. I dont know that I have the patience to duplicate it though. Lol.

[@NaNnaaaaaaaaa]

WOW

[@gregorioportela]

top!!🔥🔥

[@twinsparadox8700]

Wanna see Film Riot Recreating shots from MidJourney Art 🔥☄

[@Nick-yo1te]

Amazing as always!! Why did you use mocha on the second shot instead of 3d track in AE?

[@ivandrago3536]

Space ship did not move in all axes on second. Mocha is enough for this task

[@riflkiller]

damn we really out here spoiling a critical part of the film for anyone that can't see it in cinemas yet

[@gorg0598]

what is the name of the site to create that ufo

[@ericboss5075]

3:37 what song is that

[@Trippp550]

2 things: 1) id like to see you guys make the most realistic found footage UFO video you can make and see how long it takes to see it end up on KZbinrs 10 ten best UFO footage videos before admitting it’s yours 2) Can I pleeeeease get an invite to that AI art program you guys did a video on recently. Papapapleeease

[@MoorishMade]

When you sign up for that AI art program, tell them Film riot sent you and they’ll approve you.

[@Trippp550]

@@MoorishMade no way, Are you cat fishing me? I already signed up for the program. I’ll try signing up again see if it lets me do it again

[@MoorishMade]

@@Trippp550 I got accepted fast. I always mention Film Riot when ever they do a product review on it. Plus I always sign under with my company name

[@beatrizbettler646]

Awesome vid! Does this effect also work using Unreal Engine instead of Element?

[@CortesFantásticosOficial]

Could you do a tutorial on how to create a flight scene? Enjoying the premiere of Black Adam.

[@Godzilla-yi9zl]

what's the name of the song i got it stuck in my head when i first looked at this video

[@taydo2245]

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 :)

[@alberteinstein7448]

U.F.O. which I personally saw, recorded - it was last year, for some reason they got interested in me because literally 3 times in a row [day after day] they appeared to me more or less in the same area of the sky as I was riding my bike from the field. I managed to record twice, the third time I took out the camera too late. The object stood still and then flew away with tremendous acceleration. The second sight, it was already evening - then I also recorded the very moment of departure - the object fired with a powerful acceleration, leaving a glow of "atomic light" behind. Moving on to the first sight - suddenly on a bright, sunny day a very bright, unusual, large star appeared to me - I took out the camera and immediately gave a powerful zoom of up to x500. U.F.O. it stood still for a dozen or so seconds, then it fired, disappeared ... I managed to capture a few seconds with a huge zoom. It was primarily a ball of light, from which some "dome" emerged, some "probes" were pulled out, etc ... It was very difficult to tune this object, keep it in the frame at such a huge zoom ... Of course, I can send the source materials to those interested, but I made a cut-scene of the most important moment with a reduction of up to 1% !!! I am sending a link to the above-mentioned video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2aVpIN9jbZlapY This is the source material : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jarcm395qKuYjJo this video is just a clipping -video slowed down to 1% Recording from the 2nd day of seeing U.F.O. at x500 magnification - U.F.O. stood in place for 15 seconds, then fired with tremendous acceleration. CAUTION- the moment of departure of the U.F.O. also recorded itself. link to the movie: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4TTe5hpfrB-nc0

[@rajarajanmanoharan]

Ryan: “We use mocha to track this area” Me: How did mocha just track nothing? 🤯

[@and7thecandyman859]

What programs are you using for this?

[@Logan_wlt]

Hey, can you make it in Blender ? (And more ? )

[@EdNorty]

Can we see the After Effects file?

[@Differentperspective-y8c]

I really like all your videos but can you please tell me where to find element 3d texture that you use

[@VFXProductionsRT]

it's from the Pro Shaders 2 pack available at videocopilot

[@karl-marxschweinsteiger1828]

how could i have this model????
