Using 360º Camera
@Jesser722 uses a 360º to create a video that looks like he has a camera on a boomerang. It looks amazing! With the camera on a pole, he first gets the footage with him in the shot. Then he masks himself out of the shot and adds the boomerang shadow at the end.
Neon Effects on a Tattoo
@NeedGraphics brings us this awesome effect where he adds neon effects and light to a tattoo on someone’s arm. To create this you actually will have to hand draw the neon lights frame by frame. It looks great and makes the tattoo jump off the arm.
Time Slice Stop Motion
@JimmyBones shows of his technique by giving us this time-lapse shot that makes the video super hypnotic. By using different shots of the same location you can create this effect frame by frame. Use your masks and keyframes to create this effect on your next project.
3D Warping and Light Effect
As a tribute to Chadwick Boseman, @ClassyMoves brings us this great looking neon and warping 3D effect making each aspect of the video flow into the next. Check out the warping that they use to morph each section into another. That’s awesome. Loads of layers and fantastic effect.
Green Screen VFX shot
As you can see in the shot this is for a music video, and by using a green screen shot, @Bondell creates a great effect in the video. These are just some of the elements that you can use in your video to create awesome effects.
Infinite Zoom and Scrolling
@Belarus_Guy5 goes all out to give us the amazing zoom and scrolling effect that uses multiple layers and a combination of effects from other applications to blow our minds. This is an effect that will take some time but it shows off in the final result.
3D Tracking Effect with Graphics
Awesome work from @Iqbel Javier brings us a wonderful looking 3D tracking and graphics on this video. You can see the graphics and animation from After Effects make a normal video look like a huge production. Great work and loads of amazing artistic work.
