hi my name is Jake and I'm a motion
designer from Ukraine that's why I have
this two-wheeled accent and now we will
make this effect as you know I'm trying
to make these tutorials on lowest budget
possible so we will not use element 3G
object tracking 3d software or any
expensive external plugins let's see
what we can create only inside of basic
after-effects let's get started
drag your footage on this icon here to
make new composition go to file import
file cling to this file will be in
description below but you are free to
use any Wolverine flaw which you can
find so select it and go import it here
choose composition and click OK you need
to know how to film your footage
basically you need to remove your hand
only in two axis from left right or up
and down you cannot move or twist to
your hand and 3d space let me show you
on this example so basically you can
move your hand like this or a taste like
this but you can twist your hand because
it will not work also you cannot point
your arm towards the camera like this as
you can see it doesn't work so try to
move your hand like this up and down
rotate it and you'll be fine so first we
need to track our hand that's why I draw
some dots on my hand actually you need
just two visible for camera dots these I
made just in case if these wouldn't work
so select your foolish and go to
animation track motion this little
square inside is showing what we are
looking for and this is area where we
were looking for I'll set it to a center
of my X marker and click on this
checkbox here for rotation we have this
checkpoint too and let's set it to this
X marker here like this so to start
tracking we need to click here as you
can see we lost our track it happens
because movement of my hand is too quick
so let's go back a few frames using this
button here
here is okay and now let's use this
button here it will track frame by frame
so we lost it here let's ingest it and
click forward again I'm going to adjust
it if you don't want to run and this
problem you need to have your markers a
lot bigger than these X markers which
I've got
once we've done tracking let's go to
layer new null object and click here
edit target choose our null here and
click OK
and then by clicking this apply button
we will assign this tracking data to
this null object as you can see null
objects now stuck to my hand now let's
import our Wolverine plot and shall drag
it into our composition here then using
this pen behind tool we can change this
anchor point to this middle blade then
press s on keyboard and change scale if
you need then choose this selection tool
here and move it over so now we are
trying to fit our blades to my hand
let's also press R on keyboard for a
tation this looks pretty good
now choose this P clip inject additional
object here now it will follow our new
logic
now let's animate our blade so about
here they full expand let's press P hold
shift and press R and s in this way we
can see position scale and rotation
let's set keyframes to all of them about
10 frames earlier let's drag it here
also change scale like this and click on
this icon here we need also make it
slimmer like this and let's adjust
rotation let's cut it to this moment
then activate motion blur here and here
now we have this nice motion blur now we
need to hide this part here let's
duplicate our footage select it and
press ctrl D on keyboard drag it up here
and now let's draw a mask this should be
fine let's press M on keyboard and right
mouse click on this mask here I'm using
After Effects CC 2015 so I have this
feature here but if you don't have this
feature you can just set a keyframe
and make it step by step animation you
just follow your hand like this but I
have this track mask feature here so I'm
going to use it I'll set it to position
and rotation and click on this icon here
to start shaking
I can adjust at any moment if I like and
continue tracking
now let's track backwards
okay tracking is done press twice em on
keyboard to see all mask properties and
let's play with this mask feather value
as you can see it will feather the edge
let's also change expansion like this
and see result okay it looks good so
basically if you don't want to have
extra details you can stop on this
result here but I want to have some
light here and healing effect so for
this we need to select these both layers
select one of them hold shift and select
other one then go to layer recompose and
let's name it cloth and click ok so here
we have already a bunch of compositions
let's rename it to stay organized this
is flat image from web this is our main
composition and this is our class which
we just made and now we need to
duplicate this composition here in
project panel select it and press ctrl G
on keyboard to make a copy and press the
return on keyboard to rename it as blood
if we duplicate here compositions now we
can make any adjustments to this blood
composition and it will not affect our
original composition let's open this
blood composition then click and hold
here and select rectangle tool let's cut
it like this grab a selection tool and
double-click on this point here now we
can rotate it like this and let's also
press F on keyboard to make this edge
softer like this and let's move it over
like here now let's go back to our main
composition and drag our blood in this
composition here now let's go to effect
generate feel and this is will be our
blood let's set it to dark red color
like this and click OK let's go back to
our blood composition and here let's
apply it rough and edges drag it to our
composition here this effect will add
some complexity to our blood let's
change each type to spike here scale
let's make a lot bigger like this and
let's bring out our border so you should
have something like this let's also
disable our motion blur here and here
and
some blur go to effect blur face blur
and set it to about two then select our
composition here and press you now we
need to animate this appearance of blood
set your time cursor to these keyframes
here and then let's delete them like
this and then let's create difference to
our border and Brussels influence press
you on keyboard to see them and here at
the beginning set it's way higher and
for actual influence to zero as you can
see in this way we animated our blood
and let's also copy these keyframes
select them and press ctrl C on keyboard
to copy and then about here let's press
ctrl V to paste so now we have this
animation of appearance and disappearing
so this is basically our healing effect
let's go back to our main composition
here
let's also click on this toggle switch
here and change mode to overlay it looks
way better let's duplicate this blood
layer press ctrl G on keyboard and to
this layer below let's apply some blur
go to effect blur and sharpen phase blur
I'll set it to about 60 M and go to
effect color correction curves and an
alpha Channel let's make it more visible
like this so now we have more complexity
to this let's also make a lot darker
like this let's tweak our blood
animation go to blood composition here
expand this layer here and drag these
keyframes here and this way blood will
appear faster now let's add some
movement in hand here for this we are
going to duplicate these claws here
selected and press control V on keyboard
to make a copy then drag up top here and
let's cut this layer like here just to
have this moment where blades are in our
hand so we would have this moment here
now let's duplicate our Foolish here
press ctrl G on keyboard drag it over
and we will create math for this class
here let's also rename it to math and
using this pen tool let's draw a mask
like this then press M on keyboard right
mouse click on this mask here and choose
track mask from beginning of this layer
let's start tracking
this is more than enough let's cut it to
this moment select this class let's
rename it to inside and change this
track map to alpha Matt then select our
map and press M on keyboard twice to see
all properties of our mask let's break
down our expansion let's change our
feather to make our edges softer so our
blades will be visible only in this area
okay it looks good now select this
inside composition and press T on
keyboard set a keyframe and here set it
to zero
let's also cut this layer to this moment
let's also select these both layers and
go to layer recompose I'm going to call
it texture and press ok let's make it
less visible I'm going to set it to 25
so it would look like it's under the
skin go to layer new adjustment layer
and now we will apply displacement map
drag it on to our adjustment layer here
and select here our texture and let's
tweak these values so as you can see
this effect will displace a surface of
our hand to add some dimensions let's
also open texture come here select this
comp and go to effect blur and sharpen
phase blur and let's set it to about 5
let's go back to our main comp and now
it looks way better you can change this
intensity as you want let's set it to 35
and let's change it this displacement
map to see what works best let's rename
it displacement map and set it below of
our blood so it will not affect it as
you can see now it looks better and now
we can add some extra detail let's
select this cloth and let's apply effect
called light sweep drag it to this fly
here let's change angle like this let's
also change with to about 75 and let's
animate it I'm going to set it here and
from this moment let's create a keyframe
here let's move it over as you can see
it adds more excitement to the scene now
let's see how we can remove these
markers here just select your
composition and then using this ellipse
tool here you can draw a circle like
this then right mouse click on this
layer here and choose try
masks let's set it to position to Star
Trek click here
okay tracking is complete now let's
apply effect blur and sharpen phase blur
and let's set it to about 25 then press
e on keyboard to see our phase blur
effect
scroll down here and click on this plus
icon here and here and choosing mask
which we just wrecked also press f on
keyboard and let's set feather to about
them and that's so easy you can remove
all of these markers just repeat same
steps with other markers here let's also
add some color grading go to layer new
adjustment layer set it up top go to
effect color correction curve I'm going
to make it this edge shape in RGB
channel and blue Channel I drag it down
to make it warmer and in red Channel
I'll drag it up here
