Zombie Apocalypse Matte Painting in Photoshop and After Effects Concept Art Tutorial.

[@EditsByEntity]

Came from reddit, love the amount of passion and work you put into these projects! Keep it up!

[@RobBrownTV]

Thank you very much) Happy to have you!

[@nephewsgonnaneph5245]

the perfect not-shaky camera movement in the intro is the most underrated part of this video

[@RobBrownTV]

Haha, thanks for recognizing. I can't take all the credit, the Canon G7x has great image stabilization.

[@TheTaterTotP80]

Beautiful, mate. Awesome stuff.

[@RobBrownTV]

Thanks for dropping by!

[@MrKlayVFX]

Great breakdown and work Rob!

[@RobBrownTV]

Hey cool, hopefully it helps!

[@MrKlayVFX]

You should get in to Mocha AE for planar tracking like this, it's pretty powerful when it comes to compositing matte paintings.

[@RobBrownTV]

For sure! I dabbled a bit with the planar tracking and it's far superior than how I did it.

[@markofsouth8786]

Art Mission. I like that. I love thinking like that to keep up my morale

[@RobBrownTV]

Keep it up Mark!

[@houdammari9809]

You Sir Are An Artiste ! Keep Up The Great Work !

[@AlexHawkVideos]

This is great! I love seeing your process and now I'm that much more stoked to draw and do some more compositing in photoshop and all that stuff. Thanks!!

[@RobBrownTV]

Hey very cool. I think drawing and video are getting a lot closer to being one talent and in the next few years it will be common.

[@firnekburg4990]

Glad i found this channel, you're amazing ! Instant sub :D Cheers !

[@RobBrownTV]

Welcome!

[@AyoHolden619]

This is truly amazing. I gotta learn how to do this.

[@RobBrownTV]

ahh, thanks for the nice comment! It's not hard, but the software is fiddly at times. If you start small, like adding one simple extension it would be pretty quick work. you should try it for sure.

[@AyoHolden619]

Thank you! I'll certainly look into it. Keep doing what you do!

[@RobBrownTV]

You got this!

[@TDuD3]

you earn my subscription man, this is awesome!

[@RobBrownTV]

Hey thanks, welcome aboard!

[@Silvinogarcia]

Avila Beach! I live 30 mins away from there. This is AMAZING Rob!

[@v10moped]

That was brilliant!

[@acaciakaigo]

This was incredibly captivating, you have a true talent and your creativity is fun to watch. I really hope you do more like this. Also your taste in music is 👌

[@RobBrownTV]

Hey super cool! I am already working on the second one. I'll do my best to make sure music is on point ;)

[@fireleo78]

I have always wondered how this was done, this was incredible.

[@RobBrownTV]

Thanks a ton ).

[@fd2867]

i love this video. super informative!! thank you for making thius

[@RobBrownTV]

Very cool. Thanks for the comment👍!

[@160plays]

Awesome video dude, time to go trawl your channel! Your content and subject matter is obviously fascinating but your presentation and manner are just super easy to slide into too. More!

[@RobBrownTV]

Wow, that's seriously good to hear, thank you. You will see my style change over time as I attempt to make them better. I think this one is starting to finally hit the mark.

[@fernandotaborda]

hello again my friend...how did you make those towers far away look so foggy?? thanks

[@ilkinabbaszadeh2]

hi ! this amazing . how can i find this buildings textures? :/

[@BretAtwood]

Just came from Reddit as well, great job, enjoyed the break-down.

[@RobBrownTV]

Thanks for dropping in Bret. It was a fun project, I have another in the pipe, but I'm still tweeking it.

[@FotografistaOficial]

Man, this is awesome! I was here watching your vid and thinking "man, this guy must be huge". I'm surprised you don't have a 100k subscribers, in a good way. You're on your way to get there. Here you got one more.

[@RobBrownTV]

Haha, badass, You made my day! Thank you so much.

[@bromodz2309]

Damn that's like what they do in movies for CGI... except they have a huge team to make the movie nice work 👍

[@moh-p7036]

wow nice

[@SPelleVids]

Amazing wow :)

[@RobBrownTV]

Hey thanks a bunch)

[@charlie1872]

Outstanding piece really enjoy watching and listening. i have not used PS but have Sketchbook Pro. Even with this I am a bit reluctant to jump in, any suggestions how I can move forward?

[@RobBrownTV]

I would probably figure out an art or design goal (painting environments, compositing, vfx, whatever it may be), then figure out where your talent lies (can you do math, are you a natural drawer, do you have an eye for lighting? etc..), and do some research on how the two relate. Then point yourself that direction and learn as much possible along the path. Don't be afraid to make a goal, put your head down and run for it. Yes there will be mistakes, and corrections, but the point is.. sitting still and not moving will never get you there!!! Hope that helps, cheers.

[@InfectedSquid]

It would be cool if you added a link to footage you made there. It's hard to find anything usefull on internet

[@GeorgeLaird]

yup, talented, very well done

[@RobBrownTV]

From my side it feels like more work than talent haha.

[@Joraultechy]

Fantastic video! I use Motion 5 as my compositor, it's a bit more limited, but the suggestions you've given here will help infinitely! Well done - the finished product looks great. (also here from Reddit)

[@RobBrownTV]

Wow, the reddit love! Thank you a ton. All the compositors seem extremely powerful. It will be fun to learn more.

[@aroidpapa]

Please do more stuff like this!!!

[@RobBrownTV]

Working on one right now!

reddit brought me here , great show!

[@RobBrownTV]

YES! Hah so happy you are here sir!

[@rtubleiii]

Ergin Erdinçler Can I see that reddit article

[@glowingpants]

Holy FUCK dude. This is so good!

[@RobBrownTV]

Hahha! Thanks man, love the comment.

[@franegea3864]

What camera you have?

[@RobBrownTV]

All of this was shot on a canon G7x. I love that little camera for travel. I am now shooting on a Lumix G7, it's a lot harder but the picture is a bit better for daytime.

[@Loony_BeLuna]

My mouth is still open and say WOW.

[@RobBrownTV]

Hey, super thanks. I'm working on a second one, hope you like it as well. I think it will be up in a week or so.

[@Loony_BeLuna]

Rob Brown Oh uhm yeah, Iw as just here for this: www.elitepvpers.com/forum/artist-battles/4142862-e-pvp-artwork-month-65-a.html It is a contest for mattepainting :D And your video is linked there :) In the second comment at the end :D But looks too complex for me, I do not think that I can make this with my basic Gimp Skills :D If you make only Art Videos I subscribe, but I think you make a lot more, that does not fit to me :)

[@RobBrownTV]

Hey, that's pretty nice. Glad they liked the video. Yeah, it can be pretty hard, I'm on the second one, and I'm redoing it because it looks like crap to me. Yeah, sorry it is not all art videos. Honestly, I don't like the pressure of drawing on camera, but I do like talking about the industry and how to move forward in it. Thanks for the comment!

[@Loony_BeLuna]

Rob Brown I did create today this: i.imgur.com/gUgOets.jpg But I'm not really happy with it... my fantasy is better as my gimp skills :/ I'm sure I will get not a single vote for my ugly skills :D Like always^^.

[@RobBrownTV]

holy shit, not bad at all!

[@vzerlina]

rob , is it possible for an international student like myself to get into ArtCenter even if I don't have the money ? If I'm good enough

[@RobBrownTV]

I know Korea has a program to help students. I am not sure about your country. The big financial help in the US is basically a giant loan from the government. I suspect there are a lot of unknown opportunities, especially if you plan on coming back to your country to help others learn too.

[@euphoriaorphan]

Hey! I really enjoyed this video. I am 19 and work at a small print shop as a (noobie) graphic designer with basic adobe programs DOWN, but the imagination and patience needed KILLS ME. Trying to stay motivated. Thanks for the cool vid.

[@RobBrownTV]

Damn a print shop would be awesome to get your own posters rolling, you try illustrator?

[@euphoriaorphan]

yeah I've used all adobe programs enough to figure out how i could make somethin cool with them, but after working 8 hours on boring jobs, i go home and don't want to see another cursor D:. I would love to get posters rolling! if i could finally draw clothes on my sketches xD

[@RobBrownTV]

Hahahah. Suck it up, make something that is quick and easy!

[@euphoriaorphan]

ellecarmean.deviantart.com/ i made this. #quickneasy

[@RobBrownTV]

boom easy!

[@morrman3350]

Looks awesome. I'm primarily a video editor that uses Vegas, but I'm trying to learn the ropes of other tools to broaden my horizons. Thanks :)

[@RobBrownTV]

This is literally the 5th video I have done in Premier, and my 3rd using After Effects, before that I did everything in Vegas. I was so lost when I switched, then I saw 'Vlog Editing Tutorial - Ben Brown'. Now I love Premier, and it's way faster for me. So super happy you dug the video.

[@morrman3350]

Wow! Hopefully I can be as fast in picking it up. I only recently made the jump from Paint.NET (with a lot of plugins) to photoshop. The transition is rough, but Photoshop is a lot easier to use and is much more efficient.

[@RobBrownTV]

The nice thing is once you get one of them down they start to make sense with each other, the synergy between the three is pretty amazing. Even though I only have a few sessions with AE and PP, I have a ton of years with Photoshop, so that helped a lot.

[@timtheperson9372]

good times!

[@coolcam055]

how did you get the smoke plumes to move? Did you animate them, or were they still and I just imagined it? Fantastic work though! :)

[@RobBrownTV]

Good eye! They were super simple, with very subtle movement. Just throw a warp distortion (liquify?) on it, and animate a couple smudges and it looks pretty decent.

[@coolcam055]

Rob Brown Awesome! Thanks for the tip! I'm currently writing a post apocalyptic short film, and although I have smoke plume stock footage, it's always nice to see new, somewhat better plumes. Thanks again! :)

[@RobBrownTV]

I considered stock, but when I watched far off plumes of real smoke, I saw that they hardly move at all. ..thankfully ;)

[@Chribeify]

wth... wow
