video/reduce interlace flicker effect should help —
I have problems when it comes to halftones/very fine print. Sometimes that effect helps. Make sure you put on motion blur — it’ll clean things up. Make sure your images are nice and massive also, atleast 2k if you’re animating them for standard def — this will allow you to get ultra close with a 3d cam.

I always have problems with sound levels out of ae for some reason. Always way to loud or two soft.

wow that actually sounds very handy…and its realtively inexpensive in comparison to ANY AE PLUGINS.

Yeah thats definately it — it is just a little vague in my mind. I thought it had more to do with the actual rigging of the figure. Thanks Bar3nd!

set the gravity to 0 and keyframe it to 1 RIGHT before the anticipated collision.

Well you can do it with stroke; are you looking for video or print?
You need plenty of layers set to multiply/color/burn…etc in order to achieve it properly. Don’t forget your layer with a feathered mask (showing the edges only) with a gaussian blur on it — and some color burning gradients. It will take some patience — if you’re looking to do it with print I’d use some sort of 3d software and just lay out some sweep nurbs (c4d…) — I believe i ran across a tutorial on that sort of thing in an issue of COMPUTER ARTS PROJECTS. It was last summer and it showed how to do it in maya using multi-pass techniques. You can’t just ‘make’ it; it is going to be a ton of layers and effects with different blends — but it’ll look hot in the end.

Or use the same motion tracked data on a mask and use vegas….
it would be a little more ‘ trapcode glowy strokey… ‘I’ve grown to like the vegas effect more than I should. I guess its just one of those effects that I didn’t know existed when I first started using ae…to be honest I don’t know if it was even in the software yet!
