Grain effect in after effects or photoshop?

[Michael Garske]

I’ve animated a model in Element 3D using Newton 2 gravity so that the dice tumble into that relative position. Then I animated the rotation of the dice in Element and positioned a camera to get the exact framing. I used time remap to slow the animation down into a freeze frame and want the grain to build up slowly as the animation slows. The layer I’ll be applying the grain to is a rendered Quicktime file with an alpha channel.

I’d almost try with fractal noise, on a very small scale, and then play with blending modes to get the right effect. The good thing with fractal noise is that you can change scale and evolution as you like.
