  • Any ideas on how to do this effect…

    Posted by Erik on July 20, 2005 at 4:56 am

    Hi,

    I was watching this trailer for a video, and I thought their effects they put on the text in the begining would be kind of fun to try to duplicate.

    I’m fairly new to After Effects, so I’m not sure on ways to just, “do it on my own” with no starting point…

    The link to the video is here: https://www.skate-more.com/SkateMore_Trailer.html

    If anyone has any ideas, I’d REALLY appreciate any help!

    Thanks!

    Hey!

    That is mainly just Trapcode Shine’s plug-in at work with some animated graphics behind it from what I could tell.

    So to duplicate it, use Shine and animate the source point. Then play with the colors to get it to the blue-white.

    Cheers!

    i was curious as to how they did that slight ‘quiver’ effect at the very end of each title… like the shine goes horizontal and than ‘blinks’ ever so fast.. anyone?

    Thanks,

    I downloaded their demo version, I’ll fiddle around with it and see what I can come up with.

    (Whew! This board is fast! Thanks for such quick replies!)

    methinks that horizontal thingie is a custom knoll lens flare. They’re animating the text scale attributes too. I really like the wee smoke puff at the end of that first one..
    Nice work, given that they’re effectively taking the pish out of it.

    hmm.. didn’t think of that (knoll flare)

    any ideas on the little flicker?

    Like in the “and skateboarding” title, the horizontal line comes in that then right at the end does a little flicker before disappearing. I really like that small detail

    also like that puff of ‘smoke’ in first title
