  Blending Mode Challenge…

  Posted by Gavin Murdoch on July 21, 2015 at 3:34 pm

  Hi,

  https://i1.creativecow.net/u/271898/blendingmodes.png

  I have a bit of a challenge which I’m struggling to get my head around. Have a look at the linked image. It is made up of various overlapping circles. I would like to animate the circles which make up the image – perhaps adding a slow wiggle to each circle just to add some subtle movement to the overall image.

  However as you can see quite a complex set of overlaps/ blending modes. Does anyone have any idea as to how to tackle this? It seems like it should be quite simple but it is causing me quite a bit of grief!

  Thanks in advance!

  Should have mentioned that. I’m looking to add some subtle movement to the position of circular shapes which make up the overall image.

  Thanks for the advice. Makes sense. Looks like quite a bit of layer copying, alpha matting and pre-comping is on the menu….
