Admit it, how many times have you thought about making a video using LayOut? Exactly, me too, every day
Given everything happening in the world, I wanted to keep my mind engaged with something else. What could I do besides making videos in Layout?
I got a hype video from YT (don’t know what he’s singing about, I don’t know English well) + I have a collection of 2d People models - let’s get to work
The main character
- Set the video to a lower frame rate, ( in my case, 5 fps), and export this video as .jpg images.
- Create as many layout pages as there are frames (in my case, about 300) and place each frame in order on each page.
- Manually draw the main character’s profile separately for each page.
- Delete the imported .jpg images, set a green background for the chroma key.
- Export the images as .png files and import them into After Effects (or a similar program) as a .png sequence.
Background
I had a few ideas, but I ultimately decided to export SU animations and experiment with them in After Effects. Here’s my plan:
-
Find a stadium on 3DW and arrange my collection of 2D people models, similar to what’s shown in the video.
-
Plan to play with styles, lines, materials to create a more minimalistic look.
-
Make a general scenario of the video in my head and based on it export the video animations from SU to AE
-
Make some AE adjustments
The final AE panel looks like this:
So, what is the result? (low-quality video due to forum size limitations) :
Congratulations, if you had a weird week, I just made it even weirder for you
