blending foreground object edges with background~undulating wind/feather/fire fx
Hello!
I am struggling to find an example of what I am after, however I am hoping to find a way to implement and effect in after effects that makes the edges of objects bleed/undulate together
for example, if I have a video of someone walking infront of a bush wearing a jacket, the edges of the jacket would curl and undulate like rippling feather or hair moving in the wind to create an effect similar to if the whole scene were made out of wet paint that mushes together at the edges (similar to in What Dreams May Come) but not to stylizing the image to look like paint, just to create this effect where the objects in the scene undulate and blend together around the edges to make it seem like the whole frame is breathing/ made out of a field of photographic soup
Something that makes the edge pixels undulate/intermingle like wind moving seaweed…or I guess waves moving seaweed since they are underwater?
If anyone has ANY recommendations or has specific examples/projects they recommend I check out I would be extremely grateful for any tips. If I am able to find a good example video of what I am speaking about I will post it here
Thank you so much!!

You will definitely be doing either a lot of keying or a lot of rotoscoping.
I’d think you could use CC Vector Blur on the clip of the person using the vectors from the bg footage, but that may not be what you had in mind.

Thank you so much for this!!
What about an effect similar to the one in the attached video? This was created using the FLOW effect in the EFEKT ios app

You’d have to get really creative with the liquify effect.
