uneven line effect (like scissor cut?)
i’m trying to make an animation as un-digital looking as possible. i have a bunch of flat shapes moving around. i’ve added fractal noise to the flat colour to make it uneven, now i need to make the mask lines less straight. is there a filter anywhere that adds extra bumps or points to make the lines look a bit more like they’ve been cut with scissors and less like they’re computer generated? many thanks in advance. (AE 6.5.)

Some of the coolest motion graphics have had elements harvested from real sources. An obvious example is people using ink in water tanks as matte’s to reveal stuff. Or using crumpled paper as a BG texture. I would suggest grabbing real papers and cloths and scan then in to use as luma matte’s One obvious way would be to use black cloth. So when you scan it in it’s a black over white matte. Then in AE just invert it and crush the levels a little to clean it up.

i agree totally, but i’ve got 100’s of different shapes, and no time to scan. i seem to remember a filter that caused shape’s outlines to become uneven and bumby… i just can’t remember what it was.
