Pitch video to showcase character models and animations based on real life band BTS.

Created for Supra Dinner Society during a website buildout.

Ad created using limited assets. Lots of additional compositing in photoshop pre-import. Additional tools like Midjourney were utilized to crated backgrounds.

Ad concept using limited assets. Entirely created in After Effects.

Lots of parenting and null objects used to create orbital paths (especially for the moons and the outer planet rings). By using a null object parented to a planet (a shape layer) and then keyframed to rotate allowed me to easily create orbiting objects. The black hole was loosely based off of the excellent tutorial by @dopemotions here: https://youtu.be/y4CTMhUhEAI However the final result was actually achieved using a particle emitter rather than turbulent noise (way more consistent "stars" which is what I wanted). Several bulge effects were used to create a faux 3D effect for the center and outer portions of the black hole. A track matte was utilized to punch out the center of the black hole allowing the animation of the stars getting sucked down without the background layer showing.

An experiment with Adobe A.E. Small details: - To create shadows for the flying pieces, I duplicated a pre-comp of the word shattering underneath the original, applied a fast box blur, and adjusted the opacity. Not perfect, but serviceable. - The shadow on the word was achieved with a second duplicate of the original word and applying a drop shadow (drop shadow on anything using Shatter doesn't yield usable results). This copy was placed underneath the other two and masked out as the bullet moves across the frame. - I utilized two different forces within the shatter effect. A small, more impactful break, and a wider less powerful force behind (simulating a shock wave). Both forces use the bullet (a .png file) as a parent to inherit positional changes with the second force being slightly adjusted using an expression to alter the x-axis location. - Motion blur achieved using CC Force Motion Blur - Shock waves were created via 6 instances of CC Ripple pulse and a variety of masks to try and simulate the waves only moving "backwards." - Audio consists of 6 layers with a heavy amount of panning and pitch adjustments.

Experiment taking a low-res, 2D image and animating it as a reveal in After Effects.Photo edited originally in photoshop to create a transparency layer and to delete many of the detail lines. File brought into Adobe After effects. Base lighting method adapted from @Texturelabs excellent tutorial on movie title reveals (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5Fm2U1Kb5Q&t=850s&pp=ygUMdGV4dHVyZSBsYWJz). Additional lighting effects achieved using CC Spotlight. Multiple "cuts" created in 3D space within AE and then sent to Premier for final edit and export. Overall quality was limited by small original drawing (1563 x 1680)

Short closer made for the end of similar videos created by volunteers.
