  Impressive liquid wash effect, in AE?

  Posted by Adam Lewen on April 15, 2015 at 2:54 pm

  Hello
  At about 0:54 in this very nice video;
  https://vimeo.com/album/3344831/video/7189740
  They are “washing” text with liquid.
  I assume it can be achieved with a real liquid layer that will also distort the text. And also kind of bursting/exploding the text while washed, for that impressive spreading….
  I was stunned and was curious if there is a recommended/known technique for such look.
  Any thought would be appreciated.

  That video is in a private album – we can’t see it without a password.

  They probably shot a real plate with the text washing away and comped that in.

  edit: Yup. “all the liquid stuff is real footage. no particles at all.”

  I agree with Tero – most definitely a practical effect: real print, real liquid.
