About the video: The First Look (Brushstrokes): Fill Effects
Overview
“Having learned about the basic concepts of noise in After Effects, here you will start to apply them to the animated fills. Using the noise as a reference layer, you will learn to combine "Displacement Maps", "Compound Blurs", "Mattes", and an "Echo" effect to generate a handmade look that's tweakable and procedural. To start colorizing the animation, I will teach you how to use Colorama. This is a very powerful tool in After Effects. ”
In this video lesson Santiago Avila addresses the topic: The First Look (Brushstrokes): Fill Effects, which is part of the Domestika online course: Design and Animation of Playful Supercuts in After Effects. Learn how to create fully-procedural animations from scratch using experimental visual techniques.
