Very Cool Tutorial - Day to Night

[Chuck Engels]

This shows how to turn a day scene into a night scene and can be done in most editing software.
The tutorial uses After Effects but you could probably do this in Premiere Elements too, very cool.

Hey guys, i've put a new tutorial up! In this one, i have a crack at making a twitch style effect from the ground up.

In this tutorial, Nick takes us through the steps of creating a 'Twitch' like effect with the effects freely available inside After Effects. He takes the opening shot of Baz Harvey's 'See For' music video and builds the effect from the ground up. You might want to watch the opening 30 seconds of Baz's clip in the showcase section to get an idea of what he's going to make.

In this new tutorial from Pro Juice, Nick takes you through the steps of creating an energy ball with the Particle Filter in Adobe After Effects.

Using a layer of smoke, blurs, colour correction and some masking techniques, Nick shows you how to create the energy ball, give it a burning hot spot, animate it to fly towards the camera and reflect off the nearby fence.

You can also download the sound effect (created by Arlo) used in the animation on the tutorial page to use in your own project.

Enjoy

Hey Team

Just letting you know that we've filmed a bunch of new tutorials as well as some interviews with very interesting filmmakers and will be sharing them with the world over the coming weeks.

I've done some tutorials about producing heat haze type effects, 3D backgrounds for compositing in After Effects, some motion tracking stuff and heaps more!!

Keep an eye out.

Alrighty... here is the new tutorial... its all about creating a heat haze effect link in movies like Bad Boys and Transformers!! Very cool...

http://www.projuice.org/heathaze.html

To make the heat haze effect was basically a 3 step process.

Firstly I created a layer of fractal noise that evolved over time using an expression. I then used this layer as a displacement map for my main piece of footage. This essentially created the wavering, blurry look of a heat haze.

The second step was creating the watery reflections you often see in the forground. For this i used a range of masks, scaling and blend modes, along with a bezier warp.

The final step was colour correcting to make the warm reds and oranges associated with shooting in hot conditions.

I will definitely be looking at your tutorials after I finish essential training...could be awhile. Thanks!

In preparation for a web series that Pro Juice have in pre-production, i've been playing around with some effects that are to appear in a number of the episodes.

http://www.projuice.org/PlasmaScreen.html

The first effect is replicating the look of a large screen plasma TV. One of the characters appears on a screen mounted on a wall and then interacts with the characters in the room. It looks like we will achieve the effect in post, so in this tutorial i take you through some of the steps involved in creating this dot-matrix type pattern which is in effect a working style guide for some effects that will appear in the web series - The Science of Night.

I'm not able to view the tutorials tonight. Anyone else having that problem? I'm using IE8 if that makes a difference.

[Steve Grisetti]

They work for me!

[Paul LS]

The tutorials play... but the links to futher tutorials at the bottom of the page dont work for me.

[Bob]

It's working for me now. Must have been a network or server issue.
