  • Liquid splash in after effects

    Posted by James Davenport on October 14, 2014 at 4:18 pm

    Hi,

    I’m looking at a visual effects shot where a drinks cup hits a wall just behind someones head. The cup was a prop and didn’t have any liquid in it.

    I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how to add a stain to the wallpaper but to make it act the same way as if a little tea/coffee had been in the cup. So maybe splash outwards a little and then drip down? All within after effects/photoshop maybe.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you! Yes I do have particular. I’ve watched the tutorial, it’s definitely the nearest solution I’ve seen. Really appreciate your response. I’ll try a few different tests.

    You might also play around with CC Glue Gun, I’ve made some pretty convincing drips with that too.
