Splattering Paint in AE
I have been trying to wrap my brain around comedy central’s (and just about everybody elses’) splatter paint effect you see on a lot of their bumpers. I was wonderin gif anyone hads some good tips as far as how to get started? i.e. How do I draw the paint splatter? How do I animate it? Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hey,
Not that this may be the method they used but maybe it’s real footage. Thick paint either on a sheet of glass held in front of the camera so you get the nice drip down or top view splat down for a nice contained one, Then they cut it up and use all of them as they see fit. Other approuch would be using water simulation software using blobs to make everything look like gunk. But I would shoot it, using a luma-key setup.
Hope that helps, I do the same for photoshop work, when we need paint dripples I go outside and have a paint setup and get white paper and black paint and go to town. Scan them in, I have a whole stack of lovley paint brushes now … and vector cuts. HUZZAH! 😛

Comic Central uses the real thing.
To tell you the truth, you can get excellent results by spending a little time with
the mask tool. The drips and splats will animate nicely.If you want to add dimension, also work with blobby filter.

Artbeats has a CD of stock clips including some paint splatters–
Does anyone else know of other similar clip collections?
