Liquify/Drops rain transition/effetc

[Blue.eagle]

It would be possibile create this kind of transition by displacement map ?
sigh…anyone can suggest me a solution?

Lots of questions need to be answered for this technique.

A: Are you wanting the rain to go from the top of the screen to the bottom?

B: How big are the drops you are using for the transition?

C: Do you want it so that rain hits the screen from an angle and the video smears down the screen and washes away? (that actually sounds like a really good concept)

Answers to these questions could reveal a solution, and if not, post your answers and I will give suggestions based on them.

Use the Silouhette luma blending mode on a layer that goes from black to white. Use a brush that acheives the effect you want and animate over time.

Also use the liquify tool to achieve the smear effect of the footage.

A: Liquify in streaks on your footage.

B: Animate brush strokes on Silouhette layer to coinside with the liquify strokes.

C: Repeat as many times as necessary to remove video layer completely.

D: As for creating the rain, search the cow for many examples on how to do this.

Hope this helps
