Music Video Shot Breakdown with Sil Van Der Woerd
English | DVD-ISO | AVC1 1024×768 | MP3 128 Kbps | 3.44 GB Genre: eLearning

In this three disc set, the entire production process of making the music video White Swan is revealed. Winner of “Best Music Video” at hdfest, White Swan is a unique collaboration between students from the Gnomon School of Visual Effects and director Sil van der Woerd. This set breaks down step-by-step the process for integrating live action footage with complex digital sets to create an imaginative world inspired by the music of singer Lolly Jane Blue.

Each disc explores a particular phase in the production’s pipeline from concept to final compositing. Sil begins with a discussion of early explorations and the pre-production process, and he’s followed by the students as they cover their particular responsibilities for the production. Sil and the students cover many technical subjects including motion tracking in Boujou, compositing, rotoscoping and keying in After Effects, previsualization, modeling in ZBrush, texturing in BodyPaint, digital sets, animation and effects in Maya.

This set hopes to inspire and educate anyone who dreams of creating their own live-action production that incorporates dynamic visual effects.

[es-hf] After Effects Extended Vignette Techniques

[es-hf] After Effects Extended Vignette Techniques

After Effects: Extended Vignette Techniques was created and produced by Trish and Chris Meyer. We are honored to host their material in the lynda.com Online Training Library®.

Vignetting is a classic photography technique involving darkening areas of an image in order to focus the viewer’s attention on a desired point of interest. In After Effects: Extended Vignette Techniques, Chris Meyer shows how vignettes can also be leveraged in video. Multiple applications are demonstrated, including framing a subject better, fixing a poorly composed shot, giving a vintage feel, creating “quiet areas” to overlay text and other graphics, and blending an image over a new background. Vignettes can be created using masking, shape layers, and gradients. This course also includes advanced techniques unique to After Effects, using the CC Circle effect and 3D lights, and employing motion stabilization to center the desired action within the vignette. Exercise files accompany the course.
Topics include:

* Vignetting with feathered masks, gradients, or paint
* Blending layers with masks and paint
* Lighting in 3D
* Using motion stabilization
* Using blending modes and adjustment layers
