Need some AE advice

[Edgard Iriarte]

Hi Rebecca,
These can be achieved by creating different layers in AE that can follow the sequence of an ink type of thing, once all the layer in your composition just go to the Animation menu and select under Keyframe Assistant – Sequence Layers.

I used to do it for creating film scratches and hairs, so i will get an Illustrator path and apply different type of strokes.

Hope it helps.

I’m not an AE guy, but look at the ad on this site for Digitaljuice compositor’s toolkit for the paint splatters.

The colorizing effects could be done using a tritone color effect setting and most of the rest is simple compositing of pre-made, pre-cropped layers.

Again, just thinking out loud, I am not an AE guy.

A lot of the things you will see in packages like D Juice are looks you can make on your own. The main thing to me, is simply the time saving aspect of them. If your a busy animator their great. If you have the time, it’s fun to challenge yourself and create your own.
