How did they create these shadows?
Hi, I saw this music video a couple of days ago and I keep thinking on how they did it but still nothing comes to mind.
WHAT I THINK, is that they green screened the dancing girl and created the 2D animations that run in the background and just added her there. What I`m trying to find out is what effects/techniques went into making that shadow like figure.
I know how to do the background 2D animation/motion graphics, it`s just the shadow I`m really interested in. If you guys can help me I would be really thankful!

I could be wrong but to me it looks like it could be done with simple layer styles. They just have a black color overlay of her main dancing footage. The pink could just be a drop shadow actually set to a certain distance, given a pink color and a certain opacity. The main shadow has a bit of an edge glow/blur softness that could be achieved a number of ways. But I would just start with layer styles and work from there

Also looks like it has a bit of a chromatic aberration or something to it.

Right…my wording might have been weird there. You can choose any color for the drop shadow. I was just saying they might just be using a black color overlay for the main silhouette and adding in some outer glow type effect or something to get the edges to appear like that.

That was indeed very helpful people. Thank you so much. I actually managed to get something very similar to that video thanks to you.
