just found this on vimeo... pretty interesting to watch, but would be nice if it didn't flash through the steps so quickly...

 

 

Wow. Thanks for the great post.

 

He is a master of post production.

The really interesting thing is how much post work is done to get the look he wants, he's obviously doing this because it would take way to much time to do it in 3d. After I saw this I really wanted to understand how he was using After Effects but there's obviousley a lot going on there that I just don't understand.

absolutely. This really makes me want to get some more experience with AE and working in post production. I don't know too many resources though for learning online... there are supposed to be some excellent courses at VFS, but you would have to enroll for the entire year to take them.

It might be helpful to note that he's actually using an after market plugin by Red Giant Called 'Magic Bullet Looks' (*from what I can tell in the vid) to do a lot of his color grading that doesn't come standard with AE. Can't wait to get a copy and do some test driving :)

 

One of the big things I like that he showed was the difference between editing in 8bit color mode vs. 32 bit color mode. Esp when adjusting the exposure of the skylight in the kahn library.

 

I don't know where I read it, perhaps int he interview linked above, but I recall Alex mentioning he had a background in a video studio at one point. I'm guessing this background informs quite a bit of his compositing heavy work flow. I think he's a great example of how to use a tool for it's best capability and not expect too much out of any one particular package but use a balance of multiple tools to achieve his look.

I would highly recommend the tutorials at videocopilot.net all free and entertaining as well. Fun projects to work on too.

 

Great Basic Training section all the way up to advanced compositing.
