    hello everybody!
    happy new year!

    I’m trying to reproduice ke$ha’s video distortion effect but i can”t understand or find a good way to do it

    here’s a link to the video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgVoNT_GWYs
    the effect happens at 30 secs or so

    i tried with displacement maps, offsets, or even liquify effects, but none of these worked 🙁
    can you help me?

    i was also wondering if there was a way to automate that kind of animations with some expressions, since the girl is like diplicated 3 times, would it be possible to multiply her X times with expressions?

    thx a lot you guys, creative cow’s comunity is the best!
    cheers!

    It just looks like three copies of the layer masked out and animated on the x-axis. Maybe a bit of distortion on the edges, but it’s hard to tell on this YouTube video.

    I personnally don’t know how to do this but I’m pretty sure this product called Riot Gear by VideoCopilot is capable of producing a very similar effect, head over to: https://www.videocopilot.net/products/riotgear/ to see details about the product. Hope that helped!
