  How can I get that corrupted look in after effects?

  I have a friend who wants a distorted look to some parts of his film. He was kind enough to give me an example, from Watch Dogs. Basically the parts that seem corrupted.

  How can I get that look in After Effects CC?
  Any response is greatly appreciated.

  If you don’t mind paying for a plugin BadTV will get you there.

  Otherwise, I would look at mosiac effects, displacement maps, fractal noise and probably a lot more.

  The Compound Blur effect could also be of use here:

  That’s ‘datamoshing’, googling it will bring up various tutorials and people complaining about it being overplayed and cliche 😀

  You can’t do it directly in AE without plugins but you can do it with free software and import it.
