Wow, I found this in my "Watch Later" playlist and I had no idea that this was Wren from Corridor Digital!
Same to me bro...
I found it after the video in corrider crew about instagram ads theft wrens video
And i found ya i was watching is his video before i found corridor!!!!!!!!!!🤯
Just completed. Still relevant in mid 2019! I hope Jenna is okay after falling from the sky so many times...
You are my hero.
Didn't know there would be anything YOU could learn about video effects :D
yes he is my hearo to :p hhh :)
Andrew How could you not know this
i did not think you have anything else you did not learn.
***** Oh hey internet !
BTW, Instead of using "Corner pin" for align you can parent your 3D plane to the 3D Camera and make layer's orientation to [0,0,0]. And then just scale it to perfectly fit composition (for maximum presise you can use formula: ("Layer Z position" / "Camera Zoom value" * 100). Don't forget to unparent your layer after this.
4 years later, I can say this video is pure gold. Thanks for taking the time and make the tutorial.
I cannot believe you have just uploaded this! I am working on a shot as we speak inspired by your breakdown omen video to see if I can achieve the same effects as you did and I was running into some problems with creating the projection maps. Luckily I was still able to do it without the parallax effect because I didn't move forward as much as you did but it was still bothering me all day because I still wanted to get the concept down to use on future projects. Then you uploaded this beauty! :) Thank you Wren!
Now that I finished the video I realized it is pretty similar to another projection mapping tutorial I watched so I am still having trouble trying to get the different stills to have a parallax look. But I learned about making a difference matte so thank you again :) Hope you don't mind if I show you what I made when I am done.
Not quite the first to say this: You are very good at making a tutorial. You are polished, interesting, and clear. Thank you for joining the VFX teachers of the internet.
Dude, you saved my life with this on an object removal job I was doing. Appreciate all the work you do for Corridor now, I'd love to see more of this direct tutorial stuff on your channel.
Wren, I'm reminded of an old saying. "Those who cant do, teach". That saying is completely disproven thanks to you. You've proven that not only can you walk the walk, but you still spend the time and effort to teach everyone else. They have a word for people like you. It's Master.
Good news! You are a TH-cam OG
Great Work man, in a long time I didnt got to see a tuturial where I actually get to learn something new . Well done and thnak so much ;)
"Oh hey internet" made me laugh :D
It reminds me the phrase "Hello World!" when u study C or C++
omg Wren, so awesome! this is the exact effect i wanted to learn, a long side fumeFx effects too, but this one first. U rock! thank you for doing this.
I want to thank you for this tutorial. Using the methods of this tutorial I was able to remove a light panel and stand from a shot. It's such a necessary skill in modern film making, and yet was never taught in my college courses. Thanks so much for this.
Great tutorial, Wren! My mind was kind of blown with the whole difference matte technique.
Love your videos man! And this tutorial was super helpful!
hey I love your tuts too.
My brain hurts from exploding. Thanks Wren!
This is amazing! I'm a novice at VFX but I've been doing projection mapping as a live VJ and I would have never thought of this. Excellent tutorial :D
I haven't seen ALL the tutorials on this, that are available... but seriously, dude... this is the best of all the tutorials on this.
Probably my favorite VFX Artist to date simply because of his character and really simple teaching style :D
I'm loving the comments about how complicated this is. This is actually AMAZING because of the simplicity involved! Guys, It's mostly just a bunch of copy/pasta pre-comp layers with tiny tweaks in between, it's not the typical layer Hell you might run into for a single shot with After Effects. This is an incredibly easy way to do something I've always seen done in stupidly complicated ways! Thanks for sharing this No more frame by frame masking nonsense.
YES YES YES Finaly someone show how to do this effect!!! Thank you Wren!
Wow, you're so patient and very talented; wish I could do all that!
I procrastinate so much, when it comes to video editing, it really does take a love for the process and incredible patience! Kudos to you!
^_^
this is one of my favorite tutorials on the internet
This is great!! You should continue doing tutorials. Very well explained and fun to follow. Looking forward to trying out this effect!
Great tutorial!! I have searched for such a tut for months now! So, thank you soo much!
Great vid Wren. Always wanted to learn projection mapping so thank you so much for this.
Great Tut! Hope to see more Wren. Honestly was on the level of videocopilot, from the effect to the walk through commentary!
This was entertaining/educational and I have no real desire to use this tutorial. Just cool to see how stuff works.
This is great info even tho I don't have any of the equipment to do it and have no interest in doing this it was still great to see how you work on the footage behind the scenes style but also very informative. Keep up the great work!!!
This is fantastic. Awesome tutorial!
thank you! i've been wanting this tutorial for a long time :3
Oh my gosh yes!! Great tutorial Wren!
Haha that's amazing, this is the greatest thing I've learnt in AE, thanks Wren.
Great Tutorial. More like this would be awesome. Good Job Wren!
This is a fantastic trick for easy projection mapping. Thanks, Wren!
thanks for the tutorial! this comes in handy especially when trying to paint out tracking markers for compositing or camera mapping.
Wren you legend, this saves so much time!
Do the smoke tutorial! PLEASE?!
YES PLZ
+Venom Cuber YES!! Please!! That would be soo cool!
Absolutely fantastic Wren! My method was to use 3ds max which is little more time-consuming and sometimes can't guarantee great results like this.
Definitely adding this one to my tool belt! I also I learned a thing or two about making a well paced tutorial :) Thanks dude!
Nice tut man, you are actually entertaining
8 years later, I love you man
OMG! *_* Wren is solving two of the most common problems of VFX of ALL TIME! Camera Mapping and Rotoscoping.
THANKS A BILLION!
honest i must confess u are great n talented, pls do more tutorial for a beginner like me. Godwin
I just found out you had a channel, I'm so stoked to learn some new stuff
Great tutorial Wren!
The very last thing you said solved my problem. Such a good tutorial.
Thanks so much for this Wren. I'm just starting to learn vfx and post work and this looks to be an incredibly useful tool.
Don't know if anyone is still looking at this but I had to make sure the Shadow Diffusion on my light was set to 0 pixels. Thanks Wren from 7 years ago :)
Very interesting to see 'behind the scenes'. Thanks for showing us some of your magic!
i kind of worked around that for a long time i think this tutorial was neat it has a few points its like connecting a few dots. can only recommend it even if you already know how to acomplish it this way was an old way ive never used because i didnt used all tricks .. this video uses a few tricks ive never thought about making the old way the actual cleaner way of doing it. will take some time of getting it into the work flow of thought process but im confidant this method will turn out to be one of the major tools for this in the future
Thanks wren! This is rad
Aren't you a freakin hero?! This is INCREDIBLE!!!!
Excellent work, as usual!
Ummm... fricken awesome!!!! Would love a tutorial on your smoke and spark effects to, if you would be so inclined! :D
Worked at first try with my own composition. Helped a lot. Thank you.
Awesome tutorial! I remember watching your Fireball tutorial on AE Tuts+ a couple years ago when I was just getting into AE :D
Dude you're old school haha! Thanks for watching!
Haha hell yeah man. Been following your work ever since. Looking forward to see more tuts!
This is what I wanted to learn! thank you so much
If anyone else is having trouble, go take a look at Andrew Kramer's camera mapping tutorial. He uses the same technique, but you may pick up a few extra things. Great tutorial Wren, look forward to more!!! :D
Well, not exactly the same, but very similar! :P
Awesome! Thanks for this. There's so many ways this technique can be utilized. Subscribing and binge watching haha
this dude is a GENIUS!! Thank for the Epictorial!
Fantastic Tutorial. Sent here by film riot, and very glad i was. Subscribed
This is the best AE tutorial on you tube. Could you do a more complex version showing how you used this technique on less polygonal surfaces like the bushes on your Omen Chronicles short? We would all be eternally grateful for this.
wow this is seems super complicated. just gained a whole lot of respect for VFX artists
At first I thought the same, but when I tried it it wasn't so complicated :)
I am Groot
I Am Groot stfu
fuck you
This effect is incredible!!!! Thanks pal, great share...
Thanks Wren!!! This is amazing! :D
This is awesome. Im not new to AE but your techniques confused me. Good job brother!
One word for this. EPIC.
great tutorial !
I just thought Camera Mapping only apply for changing 2D picture into 3D movie, now you make me think again.
Thanks for that!! Loved the film btw!
Perfectly explained! And now, your awesometastic smoke simulations, please! ;D
Wow.... Mind blown man, awesome job
Thank you for sharing this technique!!! I hope you'll have the time to do the death eater tutorial because that effect is insane!!!
Thank you very much. Intresting techinque and very useful.
Your videos are sick dude honestly I love your tutorials, are you thinking of making a tutorial on the visual effects as in smoke particles and the sparks?
This is a really cool tutorial!
Congratulations +wrenthereaper and Jenna on your wedding!
That was really useful! Thx for sharing!
wren your awesome. you have taught me 99% of what i know
haha really? nice!
This was exactly what i was looking for, and i thought... hm, mayve wren from corridor has sth like this on his own channel, and here it is... Thanks a lot!
SO HARDDD!
btw, tnx for awesome tutorial dude :)
Great video, the menu works great
This was extremely helpful. Thank you! :)
keep up your good tutorials. you will big on youtube, one day.
Hi Wren, how do you workout the number of Plan/Grid you need and where to put them when the backgroud is not a flat wall...For example, at 1:16 (background is a corner) or at 3:03 (background is a path in the forest) of you video OMEn Chronicles:The Effects...
Thanks
Very useful video! Keep up the good work!
This was a great tutorial! One point though. You need to have that light setting set to point. I had it set to spot and it didn't work. Thank you so much for teaching us! (and the smoke tutorial would be soo nice) :)
Oh yeah that's true! I can't remember but I suppose I didn't mention that in this
What's really crazy to think about is that at the big studios they actually accomplish effects like this (more advanced ones) by having a camera attached to a machine and a computer and having the camera move through the same motion over and over while adding new live footage each pass.
Yeah that's motion control. Technically that's a very different process than what this is. This tutorial cannot replace what motion control could bring you. I'd love to use those rigs!
I really hope one day you make a tutorial this good something really really advanced like all the smoke effects ya did
Dude this is a awesome video new sub
I wish I had seen this earlier... lol definitely subscribed!
Wow! This is awesome! You make it look so easy.
If the footage was 360° panoramic footage, would you still be able to do this? To start with just masking out the camera man as they walk with a camera. Using the ground shots a few seconds before or after each frame. Then do it all in 3D. :)
thanks dude! your tutorial is best :)This is a good program
Great video! and nice technique, by the way :)
But a tutorial about the smoke would be cool too ;)
BROTHER, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! You oooh really helped me!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
What a helpful tutorial! Thanks :)
there is so much stuff i want to learn before i get too old. like glass blowing, gymnastics, parkour, and make my cat love me (irrelevant). now i got something else to add. THANKS WREN
Good luck my friend :D
THHAAANK YOOOU XD
This is simply amazing! Thank you soooo much! :)
It sounds like he's punching his key board when he types.
Thanks for the tutorial, super helpful!
nice tutorial,I've seen you in DMLA a few years ago:))
Awesome explanation. That's dope. Thank you.
