“Hyperspace-looking-zoomeffect” from eyes to eyes.
I need help how to make a zoom-effect from one place to another. I’ll try to explain how I want it:
I’m going to film ones head, which turns around and look on another person in the background. What I want is an effect that gives a feel of traveling very fast from the first person’s
head/eyes to the second person’s head/eyes. Just like I follow the direction the eyes are looking. The effect should be very fast when “traveling” (something “hyperspace-looking”), but slowed down in front of the second persons head/eyes.Summary:
1. Person-one turns around to person-two (standing in the background).
2. Quick “hyperspace-zooming” (blurred-zooming?) to person-two’s eyes from the same camera angle as in step 1.
2. The effect slows down when person-two’s eyes are centered.How can i make this effect? I really hope there are some “creativeCOWs” out there!

Are the two characters in this scenario going to be composited into the same shot together (cartoon characters/keyed shots), or will they both be in the source footage?

Both persons will be in the source footage.
I’ve thought of filming from the first person’s point of view, and move the camera in front of the other person. Between this clips I need some sort of zooming-effect.
It’s something like zooming from outer space into earth and from earth to a specific country.

It’s a little difficult to understand what look your trying to achieve, have you seen this look somewhere before? When you say hyperspace zoom it makes me think of that look in starwars and stargate with that whole traveling through a tunnel or worm hole look. I’ve created similiar looking things with the “cc particle world”. You can create an interesting radial “explosion” type of emission and then animate the Z or Y property to make the emitter move deeper into the image, away from the camera, and it will look like your traveling through a worm hole. You might try experimenting with that and applying it at different opacities and blending modes on top of your footage, and perhaps putting a zoom blur on top of that.
But like I said I’m not sure if that’s even the look your trying to achieve.

What I’m looking for is just like this:

thats a radial blur

I was going to suggest a radial blur as well, you’ll have to mess with animating various properties to get the right look. However, you should do as much of this as possible in your source footage. The zoom should be in the source footage, you just want to increase the sense of a fast fluid blurry zoom in post.

One thing you also might want to add, is while you’re doing the “zoom”, create a very blurry partical generator that “blooms” out from the center to the edges of the screen (use thick lines, and gausion blurr them to hell). Then create an feathered oval mask in the center of the screen so that only the particals fade into view towards the edges of the screen. Do this all in a separate composition, and then speed up and slow down the composition as the zoom speeds up and slows down.
This should add to the “flying through space/time” look that you’re trying to achieve… and I don’t mean a “star trek warp” kind of effect, but a subtle, “we’re messing with the audience’s sense of time” type look.
