Shadow Death VFX from Marvel's "Thunderbolts*"

Описание: Marvel's latest villain flattens people into "shadows" with his mind and can paint the city into void of black in the upcoming "Thunderbolts*" movie. This episode of VFX and Chill, we use After Effects to recreate these shadowy effects. "Shadow Flatten" characters from a movie scene of your choice with this simple and fun technique. We love seeing the crazy stuff our community can do - and this week it's a fun and easy After Effects exercise even a beginner could tackle with this tutorial! (Well, not a tutorial, more of a "let's do this together, live!")

Topics covered include matching camera lens distortion in After Effects, creating a clean plate, adding shadows, camera tracking in Cinema 4D, tips for breaking apart models with Voronoi Fracture, and lots more!
