  People made of water/particle effect

  Hi AE guru’s around the world,

  I was wondering about the best workflow to get this effect

  What im looking for is a way to make it look like the people are made of a liquid (water). Is this possible with AE? Or should I start thinking in the direction of Maya/3DS?

  These are my initial thoughts:
  – Shoot in front of a greenscreen with a motion capturesuit (for tracking points).
  – Create waterlike particlesstreams that follow the motiontrack points in 3D.
  – Use close-up footage of watersplashes to fill in the space.
  – Rotoscope close-ups of hands/face and make the lines ‘waterlike’ in photoshop (hell of a job).

  Im pretty much guessing here, so please share your thoughts.

  Thanks in advance,

  Ben

  Edit: ive posted it already in the “Motion Graphics – How Do I” forum. Sorry about the doublepost. 🙂
