COW Tutorials: After Effects Dressing Up A Scene With Shadows
&page=/articles/oneil_bill/shadows/index.html”>Dressing Up A Scene With Shadows Bill O’Neil has learned a lot from his gaffers over his years of live action shooting. Simply putting a tree branch in front of a light can create interesting and beautiful shadows on an otherwise plain wall. The trade name for this light obstruction material is cucoloris or “cookies”. These same practical techniques can be applied in the After Effects 3D world. All we need are lights, obstruction layers (cucoloris) and surfaces to shadow. This tutorial is broken into two parts that highlight two examples of dressing up a scene with shadows. This is part 1.
