  • How can I get that corrupted look in after effects?

    I have a friend who wants a distorted look to some parts of his film. He was kind enough to give me an example, from Watch Dogs. Basically the parts that seem corrupted.

    How can I get that look in After Effects CC?
    Any response is greatly appreciated.

    If you don’t mind paying for a plugin BadTV will get you there.

    Otherwise, I would look at mosiac effects, displacement maps, fractal noise and probably a lot more.

    The Compound Blur effect could also be of use here:

    That’s ‘datamoshing’, googling it will bring up various tutorials and people complaining about it being overplayed and cliche 😀

    You can’t do it directly in AE without plugins but you can do it with free software and import it.
