If you don’t have money to pay someone to rig it, you must have time to learn to do it yourself. Good opportunity to learn.

Basically select both layers, hold “alt” and drag new layer over the old layer. NOT sure if it works with compositions though. May have to copy/paste effects if it doesn’t.

Agree with Dave on this one. Templates are sometimes very complicated.
This seems to be shape layers formed into a cube, changing blended mode to “see through” each side. Then using a displacement of sorts to get the back wall to look different. That’s the short answer on how I’d get it to work. I did this using the described method. not perfect, but the idea, I think.

July 24, 2015 at 5:50 pm in reply to: blood splatter on face of a person standing next to someone getting stabbed in the head.Can you not shoot the blood splattering on his face in real life? That’d be MUCH easier!
Otherwise, you’d have to do a camera track, use a displacement map (I think) so the blood shapes around his face. But I don’t think it’ll look too realistic.

I think you answered your own questions. Lighting and colour are off. The lack of shadows make it look like she is hovering over the floor, not standing on the floor. I think if you got those 3 things right, it’d be 90% of the way there. The rest would be small changes that’ll just make it look like she was in that studio.

July 13, 2015 at 1:07 pm in reply to: Hi, can anyone point me out on a tutorial to achieve something like this?You can use time remapping, which is probably the easiest way. But you can also duplicate your layer, freeze one at the frame you want to edit. Then cut the second layer at exactly that point, and split it for the duration of layer one.

In their video, it looks like they projected onto the box. That is easy enough to do. Creating that same look all in After Effects is another story.. I tried radio waves and displacement maps.. But couldn’t get it. I’m sure there are gurus on here that’ll know.
