Wood Alive
Hi,
I’m working on a videoclip for some friends of mine and am looking fir some artistic advise/ideas.Ok, the main idea looks like this:
https://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1313232211&size=o
‘panes’ of the singer are floating in this wood (sometimes also a lady passes – but not in this pic)the camera is slowly (and sometimes not so slowly) zooming in/out, reveals other panes, etc
The wood is ‘sort of 3d’, generated from a picture, following the Camera Projection tutorial of andrew kramer. https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials.html
I’m going add trees.
But:
What else could I do to make the wood ‘alive’?bees.. falling leaves.. birds..
any ideas?
thanks in advance.

Maybe add some particles as either dust or fairy type things?

You could maybe add some birds by using Aharon Rabinowitz technique in part one and two of his bird flock tutorial, found here, https://library.creativecow.net/articles/rabinowitz_aharon/bird_flock1.php, and here, https://library.creativecow.net/articles/rabinowitz_aharon/bird_flock2.php,
hope this helps a bit.Mark

In your example I think it would look good to play up the misty aspect.
As a test I did fractal noise on a New Black Solid, chased with Knoll Unmult (to make the dark areas of fractal noise transparent). Knoll is a freebie, here:

On a new Black Solid above, add Fractal Noise
(animate the Transform>Offset within the plugin
Unclick Uniform Scaling, animate with sliders (increase the Scale width 4 to 5 times as much to get a streaking flowing mist
Evolution, animate over time for organic movement
Opacity: 30-40%On top of all that I added a duplicate of the Woods, masked off the tree trunks, feathered it so the mist wrapped the trunks a bit, and varied the opacity of the mask depending on how far the tree is into the woods (less transparent the farther in), and it looks nice, like a light mist flowing through the woods.
Alternatively try muted godrays coming into the woods, or both, mist and rays.
