Design and Animation of Playful Supercuts in After Effects

Overview

“Having achieved the surface treatment of the initial look, the next stage is to treat the edges of the character. We will work with "Wiggle Paths" and "Wave" inside Shape Layers to add duplicates to the existing Stroke Layers. We will then progress to character rigging using the "Roughen Edges" and "Alpha Levels" effects to create a distressed and organic line value.”

In this video lesson Santiago Avila addresses the topic: The First Look (Brushstrokes): Stroke 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.

You can see that we now have the same effects from the Face applied to the Details. I duplicated the Noise Ref and tweaked the noises slightly so we have more opaque details than the face. The face has more Alpha in it whereas the details will be more opaque. Other than that, it's the same workflow that we used ...”
