Creating Red Dead Redemption silhouette effect in after effects
Hello.
I’m soon to be making a short western and would like to create a Similar effect to that found in Red Dead Redemption, where in the game is paused and the scene freezes and is washed over with a silhouette effect.
the screen would pause then this would wash over the frame.

An easy way would be to just add an adjustment layer. Add a levels effet and crush your blacks a bit. Then add a Tritone effect and change the midtones to a deep red. When you want to “pause” just change the opacity of your adjustment layer from 0% to 100%.

I would say make an adjustment layer, and crush the blacks with levels. Then, ad an additional effect on that layer using tint, which you would select a deep red. You could also use colorama if you tweak the settings right. Hope this helps.
