After six months away from making tutorials for the sake of our rapidly growing family, it’s time for a comeback.
So, in this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create some great looking titles using Trapcode Particular, depth of field rendering, and some free live-action footage based on a recent project I completed for Calvary Community Church.
I also switched things up a little bit and recorded this pretty much on the fly – so if you pay attention, you’ll probably catch me calling five sided objects hexagons instead of pentagons – but I left some of those in there for entertainment value. Don’t hesitate to rib me in the comments below if you feel the need to further pick on me.
I’ve also included a link to the project file and footage from the tutorial so you can play with the content yourself. Feel free to use the smoke and dust loops in your own work – in fact, I’d encourage it.
The font used in the tutorial is Quicksand and available as a free download.
It’s up! And I gotta tell ya, I think this might be one of the best tutorials you’ve seen all day. Unless, of course, you’ve watched a bunch of them already.
Either way, enjoy the 3D action here – and download the trial versions of Form and PlaneSpace while you’re at it.
I know it sounds basic, but I’ve been surprised to see how many talented animators get tripped up by the archival process in After Effects. So, in this video tutorial, I’ll show you how to archive a project with shared assets using the consolidate footage and collect Files commands.
In this video tutorial, I show you how to import a .jpeg or .tiff sequence into Adobe After Effects with Adobe Camera Raw development settings applied. Watch it here.
