Is this possible in AE?

[Tim Wilson]

There’s a brand new tutorial in the Creative COW Library that shows how to do something just like what you’re talking about:

It’s a very very good place to begin.

Good luck!

Best,

This appears to be a practical effect. Take a tank of water, film it brightly against a black background, drop in ink. Repeat. A little bit of fiddling with the footage will give you that silhouette look.

So, you can set this up yourself and shoot it, OR you can go to Andrew Kramer’s site http://www.videocopilot.net and check out Riot Gear. He has already done the hard work for you – and in High Def!!! Great set of ink drops, grunge textures, backgrounds, and others. Check it out…

Go to https://videocopilot.net and check out the Riotgear collection. In it there are some awesome quicktimes with exactly that.

Hi, Tim.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
