Shockwaves in AE!
July 9th, 2014


Here are some coolAE shockwaves that are created 100% inside of AE without 3rd party plug-ins!

Sure we have a cool Shockwave Product but we think it is niceto be able to show you how to make cool stuff for Free without having to buy something all the time. Of course, we appreciate the supportof all our customers! You guys and gals make it possible for us to domore stuff like this!

The technique is a combination of the Fractal Noise effects but they are created in a very unique way so I'm recording a tutorial tonight and I'll post it tomorrow!

Stay tuned!

Hi Andrew,

Looks like Canon has used your Shockwaves in their 7D MII introduction, or at least the artist follow you. 2:11ish. Thanks for everything you do!

How did you get that great quality on the gifs ?
I hope Andrew touches a bit on the different looks you can get with the shockwave effect, playing with polar coordinates and other effects.

I love watching your tutorials and have been asked to produce a few guides at work myself.

The one problem I have is that the audio sounds rubbish, so I need a good microphone. This is where the problem starts as there are hundreds to choose from ranging from a few £s to thousands. Yours always sound clear and well controlled, so what do you use?

Looking forward to the tutorial!

As I can't use Shockwave in my commercial projects, being able to recreate these FX with no plugin is a great news !
Looking forward to seeing the tutorial

You and your team are amazing Andrew. I'm very happy to look to the past to that Basic Sky Replacement tutorial, and see you now revolutionizing the audiovisuals with the same (or even more) illusion, energy and good vibrations. That's beautiful.

Have a nice day Andrew

Made with After Effects?

Yes these are animated GIF image sequences. Why? Most likely because it is much faster to load than video. here is a link to this growing trend for the web of creating high quality animated gif sequences. http://twistedsifter.com/2012/03/animated-gifs-series-classy-high-quality-gifs/

If you open the image in photoshop you will see 30 layers used to create this file. Why? It is simply good web practice to do so. There is no audio needed, so, a smaller file and an easier one for viewers to load is an animated gif sequence.

Hey all,

I just want to say that thank you Andrew and all at VC for all the teaching and and the cool plugins. But on top of that I really have to appreciate the fact that Andrew still show us all how to do these cool effects without any 3rd party plugins especially when VC is developing plugins for AE. Hats off

I'm working on a project right now that literally requires this very thing. Dude, you rock Andrew. Keep up the good work!
11 years ago
Than you Andrew and VC. I have a question though. A lot of your tutorials are focused on creating special effects for movies and television shows. Explosions, guns, bombs, etc. However, in do this as a small business for local clients i need to learn kinetic type manipulation, better animated logo presentation, and infographic overlay advice. I have done 10 of your tutorials and I have bought 2 products. I cannot thank you enough for all that you do. But I really need help and direction here. Many clients want these services and I just need a starting point to practice these types of motion graphics.

Ah, just did the Sure Target 2 tutorial, perfect for kinetic type. Thank you Andrew.

You Know, normally people want you to buy their products,so they don't show you Ways to make that product because they want you to buy it! But Andrew is different, he understands that maybe some people just don't have the money and he still wants us to be able to create things in After Effects. Thanks so much Andrew,Your awesome.

You could make a really cool Eye of Sauron with that. I look forward to seeing the tutorial. It would be cool if your tutorial included the ability to do a 3D camera move... just a thought. Great work. you make it look so easy. If you told us how long it took to come up with the technique, would it ruin the mystique?

Sweet, We have BlackBox with ShockWave, future building pack, now if only Andrew would bless us with a Sci Fi pack, these could be used for cool explosions, when blowing up UFO's

Looks really cool!
The first one looks more like an explosion in space, the second one is like a slow motion muzzle flash (from a futuristic gun of course)!

Sound. That is very nice. Before I read the description I knew it has something to do with Fractal Noise. One thing Andrew Kramer likes, is Fractal Noise

Thanks for another great post. Where else could anybody get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
