Expression Shorts - loopLearn how the loop expressions work.
Looping is a very common task in our industry and is mostly associated with video footage of some form. In this episode I will explain the loopOut(), loopIn(), loopOutDuration(), and the loopInDuration() expressions. We’ll learn how they function with video footage as well as how they can work when applied to animated properties. more »An A to Z of Building Projections - Part 2A behind the scenes look at two different building projection projects, including the largest building projection ever staged - the massive Alfa Bank show in Russia.
This two-part video presentation looks behind the scenes at two different building projection projects – a small scale production for New Year’s Eve in Melbourne, Australia, and a large scale event for the Alfa Bank in Russia – the largest building projection ever staged to date. In part 2 we take a detailed look at the After Effects workflow used to create the animations for the Melbourne projections, and how the ZBorn Toy and Freeform plugins were used. more »Click to audio / video »

Expression Shorts - sampleImage() part 2Use color channel values to drive a lens flare’s intensity
This week we dive into the sampleImage expression. I show you how to read the values it outputs and how to use those values to drive the intensity of a lens flare. more »Advertisement Expression Shorts - sampleImage() part 1Use color channel values to drive a lens flare’s intensity
This week we dive into the sampleImage expression. I show you how to read the values it outputs and how to use those values to drive the intensity of a lens flare. more »Expression Shorts - Auto Center A Layer Between Two Moving LayersHave a layer center itself at the midpoint between two other moving layers
Ever have the need to have a layer stay exactly at the midpoint between two other moving layers? Sometimes your layers have to move erratically, or even linear, but you just want your midpoint layer to just stay in the middle without doing math and hand keyframing it the whole way. Well this expression should help you out. Includes a 2D and 3D layer explanation. more »

Expression Shorts - Attach 2D Layer To A 3D LayerAttach a 2D layer to a 3D layer, even while it’s moving.
This a fun useful expression that allows you to take any 2D layer in your timeline and have it attach to a moving 3D layer. Ideal for something like 2D flat text that follows a 3D tracked point in a scene. more »Expression Shorts - Auto Layer Offset 3D part 2Automatically offset your layers with a master controller null in 3D space.
In part 2 of this episode, we look at creating the same layer offset in 3D by adding an extra control for the Z axis. more »Advertisement |

LIGHTING: Advanced Cucoloris Use Illustrated by a Solar Eclipse
Q: What happens when you stack several pattern-making devices in front of a light? A: Extreme lighting goodness. Learn why here…
I love stacking cucolorii (plural of “cucoloris”) and I thought it was time to write an article about how this technique works and why I like it so much. I was a bit stretched for ideas that would illustrate this concept… and then an eclipse happened. Why that made a difference is a very interesting story…
