About the video: The Third Look (Halftone): Stroke Effects
Overview
“To conclude this unit, I will show you how to complete the third look. You will learn how to finalize the by giving an off-print feel to the outlines (as I did with the fill). I will exaggerate the "Wiggle Path" settings and use very sharp Colorama settings to reduce the color palette to a minimum. We will overlap multiple Stroke Layers to generate a double line effect. By the end of this lesson, you will understand how to achieve three distinct looks which you can apply to your animation. Then, you will be ready to start experimenting in the editing phase! ”
In this video lesson Santiago Avila addresses the topic: The Third Look (Halftone): 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.

This part of the process is important, so let's begin. Now, let's go into our strokes. To generate a digital fill to it, we'll overlay two copies of strokes on top of the one we have, so we get a thick black one, then a middle thickness one with a gradient on top, and a small wide one on top. We can also think of adding a wiggle path to all of our strokes but not using Smooth as our transition in those wiggles but use the Corners, which will ...”
