Yeah, I tried it with a still shot of the hand making wiggle motions on the green screen and animated the whole arm comp to move with the stroke. Worked really well! Though its pretty time consuming.
How could I parent the hand comp movement to the stroke? that would be freaking awesome.
Sadly, I am shooting on a DSLR camera. Cant do much about that, because thats all I got. I’ll just have to light it the best I can. Thank you so much guys. really. =)

Hmmm, That’s a really interesting idea. I was tinkering around with the idea of tracing it and keying it out in my head. If this fails I might have to try something like that. Thank you for your thoughts.
Yeah, the puppet tool dose seem to take some practice. Worked with it on simple objects, but not much else. Hmmmmm….
Any thoughts on how they actually did this as a whole? Thanks again!

I would set those layers blending mode to “Add” as well, with a little glow effect on it. Should do the trick.
Also, check out Video copilots “Twitch” plugin, if your looking for a strobey glow feel. But you can keyframe it was well to get the same effect, if you don’t want to buy “Twitch”. -
Yeah, I would say just make a matte of the text so the screens all show up inside the text/logo, then as it pulls back, put a lens blur on it, and have the solid color fade in. It’s a trick of the eye. 😉

Did a test last night for just the stroke’s on the artwork, and it looks great. Now I gotta try the hand over it. Im just worried about it being a ridiculous amount of editing to get the hand matched up with the strokes being relieved. Maybe I can use the angle of the hand to my advantage to block the view of the strokes? It is also going to be time lapsed extremely fast to match up with the voice over so maybe it wont matter much.
I don’t know if the puppet tool will be natural enough, as it bends pixels and such. but….. that might save me from trying to get a million different stroke movement footage, of the hand to match up with the drawing…. If that makes sense….
Its funny, because a lot of people are asking how they made these video online, and everyone has their own idea on how to approach it. Some say its all live footage, some say its all After Effects. Guess I’m just trying to find the best way for me.
Any other suggestions? I really appreciate input, or thoughts, will keep you all updated on if this works or not.
Thanks again CC! -
CC Polyworld, or the shatter effect would do ya just fine. Guess you could use particle world, and change the particles to polygons.

I would say make an adjustment layer, and crush the blacks with levels. Then, ad an additional effect on that layer using tint, which you would select a deep red. You could also use colorama if you tweak the settings right. Hope this helps.
