    Just completed. Still relevant in mid 2019! I hope Jenna is okay after falling from the sky so many times...

    BTW, Instead of using "Corner pin" for align you can parent your 3D plane to the 3D Camera and make layer's orientation to [0,0,0]. And then just scale it to perfectly fit composition (for maximum presise you can use formula: ("Layer Z position" / "Camera Zoom value" * 100). Don't forget to unparent your layer after this.

    I cannot believe you have just uploaded this! I am working on a shot as we speak inspired by your breakdown omen video to see if I can achieve the same effects as you did and I was running into some problems with creating the projection maps. Luckily I was still able to do it without the parallax effect because I didn't move forward as much as you did but it was still bothering me all day because I still wanted to get the concept down to use on future projects. Then you uploaded this beauty! :) Thank you Wren!

    • @FinalGrade
      @FinalGrade Před 10 lety +1

      Now that I finished the video I realized it is pretty similar to another projection mapping tutorial I watched so I am still having trouble trying to get the different stills to have a parallax look. But I learned about making a difference matte so thank you again :) Hope you don't mind if I show you what I made when I am done.

    Not quite the first to say this: You are very good at making a tutorial. You are polished, interesting, and clear. Thank you for joining the VFX teachers of the internet.

  • @dxyner
    @dxyner Před 9 lety +1

    I want to thank you for this tutorial. Using the methods of this tutorial I was able to remove a light panel and stand from a shot. It's such a necessary skill in modern film making, and yet was never taught in my college courses. Thanks so much for this.

    omg Wren, so awesome! this is the exact effect i wanted to learn, a long side fumeFx effects too, but this one first. U rock! thank you for doing this.

  • @hazonku
    @hazonku Před 6 lety

    I'm loving the comments about how complicated this is. This is actually AMAZING because of the simplicity involved! Guys, It's mostly just a bunch of copy/pasta pre-comp layers with tiny tweaks in between, it's not the typical layer Hell you might run into for a single shot with After Effects. This is an incredibly easy way to do something I've always seen done in stupidly complicated ways! Thanks for sharing this No more frame by frame masking nonsense.

  • @TheBetterGame
    @TheBetterGame Před 10 lety

    Wren, I'm reminded of an old saying. "Those who cant do, teach". That saying is completely disproven thanks to you. You've proven that not only can you walk the walk, but you still spend the time and effort to teach everyone else. They have a word for people like you. It's Master.

  • @Dayta
    @Dayta Před 8 lety

    i kind of worked around that for a long time i think this tutorial was neat it has a few points its like connecting a few dots. can only recommend it even if you already know how to acomplish it this way was an old way ive never used because i didnt used all tricks .. this video uses a few tricks ive never thought about making the old way the actual cleaner way of doing it. will take some time of getting it into the work flow of thought process but im confidant this method will turn out to be one of the major tools for this in the future

  • @tzisorey

  • @Jhoofnail
    @Jhoofnail Před 10 lety

    Absolutely fantastic Wren! My method was to use 3ds max which is little more time-consuming and sometimes can't guarantee great results like this.
    Definitely adding this one to my tool belt! I also I learned a thing or two about making a well paced tutorial :) Thanks dude!

  • @DUMPPREP
    @DUMPPREP Před 10 lety

    What's really crazy to think about is that at the big studios they actually accomplish effects like this (more advanced ones) by having a camera attached to a machine and a computer and having the camera move through the same motion over and over while adding new live footage each pass.

    • @SirWrender
      @SirWrender  Před 10 lety +3

      Yeah that's motion control. Technically that's a very different process than what this is. This tutorial cannot replace what motion control could bring you. I'd love to use those rigs!

      @equinoxx44 Před 10 lety
