Animating a swarm of ants over my subject/location
Strange one this…!
I’m new to after effects, and though I’m keen to learn everything it has to offer, I’m on a bit of a time limitation here, and need to know a basic guide on how to achieve an animation effect.I’m shooting a short film in which the location and actors are infested with ants.
I will need to animate a swarm of ants over the shots, and animate ants in closer detail for close ups.
Obviously I’m not looking for pixar-esque photo-realism. In fact, the style of the film is bit more rough and ready than that anyway.
This scene from Linklater’s A Scanner Darkly isn’t far off from what I want to achieve:

You’re looking to tackle some advanced tasks such as rotoscoping, motion tracking, creating a custom particle, etc.
