Where to look
Posted by Brian Mills on September 4, 2019 at 12:36 pmHey all
I am needing to replicate this look. I am having trouble coming up with the chevrons and the pulsating colors on the outer parts of the video. What techniques or filters should I be working with in your opinions?Cassius Marques replied 6 years, 8 months ago 3 Members · 7 Replies -

Can you upload on a review site e.g. Vimeo, Youtube. frame io, etc…
Zips are a bit scary on both Mac and PCs. -

This platform zips everything you upload to it by default. What do you mean scary? Do you get infected with a virus by decompressing? I’m honestly lost with that comment.
“What techniques or filters should I be working with in your opinions?”
Those chevrons seem to be a static mask (with varying degrees of luminance/whiteness) There seems to be also a geometric pattern, with shadows between the elements, that’s using the chevrons as a matte. This pattern is showing through an ongoing diffuse turbulent noise.
All that then color corrected and applied with a blending mode (looks like overlay).
That’s a start but not just it. For example the glowing white sweep is another layer added on top using the same chevron matte.

“On the nose.
Some corporate networks don’t allow the practise of downloading zip files.
Simple as that.
I use frame io for review and there is a free version. -

Cassius is close to what your needs are.
Its a lot of different precomps and honestly you might even make it your own with a little bit of tinkering. -

I’m joking! Mainly because your first post implied there is something wrong with the use of the format when there isn’t. In this case, since this site auto renames, it obviously had a .mp4 inside.
But I guess they can be as scary as stupidity goes from a corporate POV.
