Apple Style After Effects Experiment.

This is another little experiment I did in After Effects. This time I used live action footage of myself juggling in front of a blue bedsheet. I actually made the juggling balls out of paper and masking tape on the spot and this was done in one take. So I imported the footage into After Effects, removed everything that was blue, painstakingly masked the juggling balls (I would later learn that we were allowed to use any object, I had to be a show off and juggle). Once I had the balls masked I simply filled them white and we were done. I know it's not exactly going to make Apple's marketing execs jealous but it was a fun little project and I learned quite a bit doing it.

So this is a little something a did a few years back. One of my early experiments with After Affects. The Paint-to-Reveal. There's also a little Overlay in there. While this won't win any awards, I have alot of love for this little trinket. I learned loads making this one afternoon and I actually love it's little charm. I'd really like to make a film in this style some day if I could work out what sort of story would lend itself to it nicely.
