How’d they do that? (Lens effect)
There’s an effect I’ve seen in a Japanese tv show called “Liar Game” and again in “One Missed Call” that I desperately want to re-create. It’s like, the ‘camera’ zooms in and out, and blurs while it does. And there’s more. The ‘zoom’ seems to follow a slightly ‘wiggled’ path. I’m sure there is a manual way to do this, but I’m still kinda new at this and was wondering if there was a plugin for it, or at least a technique.
I posted the video here: https://www.johnstanowski.com/titles/liar_game.html
There’s a slew of other effects here, but again, I’m wondering about the wiggle, zoom, blur effect. Heh.
You can see it well near the end of the theme when the sponsors are read off. (The sofa shots).
Please help!

well to the zoom blur thing, i doubt i can help muchh, the i really liked the flash effects and the highlighted egdes effect they had int there. it bet you can keyframe diffewrent blurs on each shot. like if you are roomin in have a radial blur, keyframed to start when you zoom, and end when finished zooming. and if you do not have fast zoom on your camera, you can zoom normally, do some time remapping like andrew kramer teaches in one of his tuts. you can also shake the camera a little as you zoom to create the odd wiggling? good luck with your project, but i mostly thank you for showing me this commercail, it is well made, and i liek the effects used in it. i may have to recreate some myself 😉

Thanks, I’m working on it now (keyframing a blur). I’m using Frischluft’s Out of Focus filter. And I just scaled up and changed position on the middle keyframe (where all the blur is). I also applied a curve to the change in position. So far it looks good! but it doesn’t have the … style and personality as in the clip. (It’s the theme to a television series by the way, that’s just how they do it in Japan.)

well thats great! what you can tru doing also is if th ecamera is goin downwards have the motion blur at the angle the camera in panning at. that gives the nice little blurry lines.

In this instance I think most of what you see camera zoom and wiggle wise, was actually done in camera.

This is all fairly basic stuff – you have the video which has been precomped and jostled either using the wiggler, expression, or manually and secondary solid white layers with opacity KF’s and adjustment layers with Gaussian or Fast blurs that are tied into the opacity of the solids.
