– trippy effects …….a bit subjective but done a few good ones playing around with glass plugins — might be possible to do this also with emboss — the idea being to use much higher than usual settings until aspects of the form start to merge together –

— you can also get weird and wonderful things from some of the sapphire plugins — think they do a blobby distort glass type thing you can animate as well – in fact this might be a good option……

hi – one method could be …

1) —- duplicate footage of hall

2 ) —- colour correct this copy to get the look you want

3 ) —– on colour corrected duplicate draw a mask / use a circle mask – around area you want darkened and experiment with feathered edging till it blends in with original
– also shape of mask if you need to —– till you have it.

—- would try a circle first as its an easy one but my guess is rhat if you use the pen tool you might get a more convincing result – depends on whats in the shot.

— suggest also experiment a bit — might be worth adding a second copy and darkening further the very centre / or the corners —

— maybe add some grunge texture ( in perspective and apply to walls ) —- blood on the floor ( ! ? ) — depends……

Hi Dave

— thanks for speedy reply ….

…… its not a problem as such its just that it doesnt match original so there is a jump in levels when I go from one to the other —

———— will take another look maybe you are right — it cant be that tricky ….

— Kevin might be right here

— card wipes have a perspective look to them –maybe there is some other sort of wipe though that will do this…..

— would be interesting to find out…..

Hi —
—– dont really know but it might simply be a stack of layers with different card wipes on –

— the image ”movement looks like it might be that some of the layers are stretched and animated back into normal ratio during the wipe for that layer?

—– expect you could get something like this anyway ….

———————–good luck —-chris —

– theres a couple there I hadnt thought of – the caps button is probably the answer – dont know how that one escaped me !

………. suppose I was also wondering if there was a ‘magic’ setting somewthere ……

Hi Alex

— theres probably an easier way butif each clip was in its own comp then the start frame of each comp could be set to match.

— might be ok if no alternative ( ? ) ——chris —
