DDay graphics using AE – video link
This is just a link to a short ‘making of clip’ – which looks at a recent project i worked on for the bbc. We were tight on cash and did everything except a tiny bit of 3D on aftereffects. This clip was for internal use but i thought it may be interesting for some AE users.

I realise this isnt a ‘question post’ but just thought some folk may want to see work created using just aftereffects, apologies if i wasted anyones time.

It’s amazing what you can do with such a small crew and alot of creativity and know-how.
I have a question though, when you were doing multiple takes of the soldiers running up the beach, how were the takes all composited together? Garbage mattes? Blending modes? Rotoscoping?
-
a combination really,
we usually started with a blending mode like darken, worked out where we wanted people running – trying to pick passes which didnt overlap too much. When problems of overlapping arose we would roto if we could. But the distant guys are pretty hard to roto so I often made a high contrast b/w render of that section and use it as a track matte.

Absolutely brilliant! Well done. I would love to see the actual final piece as aired (not just the making of!) Hollywood has little over you and your crew!

Wow. That was pretty spectacular. I wish you had a LONG tutorial on everything you did in that vid. Im a AE n00b, and Id love to be able to learn how you guys did a lot of that stuff. I really thought it was cool.

That was really inspirational. It’s wonderful to see how you combined all those different techniques to such good effect.
Daniel, I’m pretty sure that everything shown in that video can be achieved using the tutorials posted here. Just with a LOT of work and planning!
