Re: Lexus Orb tutorials
Watched all of them and learned some nice stuff.
Just a note though, in number 3 when you were making the floor the audio is missing.
Also, just so people know, here is the link to the original advertisement. http://www.barbecue-design.de/index.php?article_id=44

if at first you don't succeed... pre-compose.

Re: Lexus Orb tutorials
The EMP effect is based upon ripple pulse, form and shine.
Works best if the image (like the speedo) is also concentric.

Re: Lexus Orb tutorials
nothing but the best here, really appreciate these awesome tuts. However, I am curious about how the aurora was created in the beginning and the under water effects when the orbs go under water. Any ideas?

Re: Lexus Orb tutorials
Those spots are gorgeous. Watching the tutorials. I'm pretty new to AE and seeing the animated particles in Particular surprised me quite a bit.
Can't wait to try this out.

Re: Lexus Orb tutorials
I have admired this spot since I came across it in the Trapcode gallery when it first showed up. Prior to your tutorials I tried to figure it out on my own but I never could get it to look quite right. The tutorials filled a lot of the holes - much appreciated!
One thing I found interesting is the use of Shine in the color correction stage of the shot. I was dead on about that as I was trying to break down your method. Its a nice trick I have used on many occasions since I came across it trying to figure out your work. I probably use Shine more with a ray length of 0 than I do with any other amount. You can get some very interesting looks with colorize set to none, a ray length of 0 and playing with the boost light settings along with the shimmer settings. It allows you to stack a lot of depth onto some otherwise "flat" looking footage.
Thanks again for the tutorials! If you plan on doing anymore, I will stick in a request for the LF-A spot (my favorite from your posted work). Also I wouldn't mind seeing your method on moving the Lux enhanced lights behind layers in the hybrid spot. Thanks again those tutorials were awesome and I am glad I am not the only one who uses Shine for more than just volumetric light.
Keep up the nice work.
