How would YOU do it?
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to create a photo album for my family with the growing flourishes animation style in After Effects.
Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU1mHEg00e4I would like to get some suggestions as to how I can create the background for the “Floral Growth” and to display the images without eventually running out of background. The background have to “move along” with the growth.
Even if I choose a high resolution material as a background it is not large enough to accommodate the growth patterns and about 30 images.
Suggestions welcome.
Many thanks,
Lucas

Hey Lucas,
Using the compound blur and splines with stroke (or even better, Trapcode’s 3D stroke) is great for this. If you make a stroke in Pshop that has a brush painting the stroke from black to white, the compound blur in AE can use the gradient that follows the line to reveal things.
Using an animated stroke on a spline in AE can also be used to reveal things.
You can also use the write-on script or paint to reveal things so that your hand controls the speed of the reveal and it won’t feel so mechanical.
You can also just do a simple mask that is soft edged and then increase the mask expansion over time to do a “bloom” reveal in areas that have a cluster of leaves or flowers.
