Would that mean screening the two composites work too theoretically? Assuming the lighting and everything is the same, I don’t see why a screen wouldn’t work.

See, I figured it was just a bunch of him running around, which was certainly possible by how slow the camera was, but that opening shot with both of him there in front and behind him while the camera moved blew my mind

Whoops!!! Here

I apologize for the double post, but I have found video copilot somewhat useful in making things that I can use to apply to my work.

I appreciate the help. I’m looking through a bunch of these and most of it I already know how to do. The most techniques I need help with are the things that aren’t obvious.. Here’s an example.
I watched a video today (Behind the scenes of this group RocketJump, I love them on youtube. Formerly Freddiew.)
They did a video where he was slicing fruit in slow motion with precision and all this neat stuff, and one thing that caught my eye, is in the behind the scenes, one shot in particular he said the fruit were CG as they were being cut open, the rest of the fruit were all hanging from strings. Here’s what I questioned: How in the hell did you A: use cg fruit AND had them being sliced open. I understand you can import 3d models and what not into after effects, but how did they actually make the 3d model play into being cut open? Also, the fruit hanging from the strings had ZERO strings in the final cut, and I was questioning how did they edit the strings out in post. That’s what intrigues me, and this is some of the depth I’m looking to get into. Here is the aforementioned video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meJckIFWFR0This stuff inspires me, I want to apply it to anything I’ll make in the future. There’s only so much I can do with a camera and zero effect knowledge. For instance: If I wanted to create an explosion behind someone, I would make an explosion effect in a comp, Pre comp it, film a shot of someone standing by the explosion, and film an identical shot (both on tripods) of no one in the shot so that I can put the explosion on that footage behind him and it won’t overlay itself on top of the person in the shot. That’s essentially the extent of my knowledge, effects, precomps, behind, on top, etc. The advanced stuff is what I’m looking for. For example: How to create a ball of energy in your hand, and to throw it and create an energy explosion, but to be able to use that tutorial and make the energy look vastly different so it can be applied in future projects. How to hold a 3d rendered object and throw it, because that can be applied in future projects. I hope this is all making sense. Hell, even one in that video that was confusing to me was him falling off of the building and landing on someone. I understand the concept of landing on someone from the air, that’s not difficult, but the falling in the air off the building: now that is interesting to me on how to do. I need some pointers on where to begin in that aspect. My knowledge essentially ends in the basics around where he talks about shape layers and animating them etc. Although I am aware on how to do write on effects, even though they’re a pain in the ass. I’m sorry for being so lengthy with this, but I’m hoping someone understands. Y’all are so helpful, I love you guys 🙂

That really helped!!!! Thank you, now, I’m still trying to figure out, my particles are still dots, and not feathery looking ones that that person had in the credits sequence of the second link I posted. Is that still form, how can I change the shape of my particles themselves if possible?
And also, since I only have 2 seconds of video mask, and the mask itself is a still image, can I take this ‘video mask’ and make a single frame mask that I can make as long as I need to be? If so, How. I just need to render out the picture so I can make the particles last as long as need be.
-
I’m having a hard time applying this technique to a mask, I’m trying to make it to where the particles are a certain color and not just the color from the original scene, I’m getting the hang of it, but the color part is frustrating me.

https://youtu.be/A6UXfGbhpI8 That’s the second video I mentioned (32 seconds)
Here’s the first one I mentioned
Thanks. And sorry for that. I thought I posted them.

I’m using cc particle world and a third party plugin ‘plexus’

That solves the last part but what about the video inside particles?
