Oh Also I want to ask. What did Zybrand use for the simulation? I usually use maya for water but I have also been looking at learning houdini. Just curious what he used for this. Thanks!
This is incredible! As someone who aspires to learn and to have my projects loved and enjoyed by the world, this inspires me! Do you have any VFX after effects courses that I can purchase? This is incredible work.
Thanks! I'm really happy with how it turned out, I suggest focusing on all aspects of shooting, vfx, editing, music, sound design etc, good way to find out which area you like best
VFX Productions I’ve been doing that for a year and so far all I have gotten for jobs is wedding photography. And people know me for my photoshops as well. But videography is what I like most but vfx has my heart. It’s tough 😰
@@CaseyGray58 it is tough I was just doing my own projects for years before I got hired for something and then I did years of free or really cheap work, keep at it and just try making different vfx projects and shots to learn from and you could build up a reel if you want
VFX Productions you have any tips on some beginner friendly vfx shots? Stuff I can pull off by myself? I get so overwhelmed looking at tutorials and not knowing what to start on. I know after effects and premiere and blender.. but I just got Nuke for a year and I really want to start using it. But where to start 😭 What was this sequence made with? Maya?
@@CaseyGray58 oh nice! I've never used Nuke I only use after effects and done tiny amounts in blender so far. I didn't do the water sims or pyramid that was all Zybrand the VFX TD who used Houdini. In terms of effects cloning is the main one people start out with, maybe trying interactions like handing yourself an object or something. Could try movie titles which I usually enjoy. Or trying a decent green screen shot matching lighting. And recently I've been studying existing shots from movies etc and either replicating them or doing shots heavily inspired by them and I feel like I've learned a lot from that when you actually try and break down what is going on
Exceptional high quality VFX for UA-cam, astonishing work man. You should really consider making a course (free or paid). I'd definitely watch it. How did you learn all this? I'm struggling to find tutorials with such high quality. Well done :)
Thank you so much, I have to say our VFX TD on this project created the pyramid and all water sims, I was the compositor so I was equally highly impressed with his work. For myself I just learned from tutorials from channels such as Videocopilot and Film Riot and working on my own projects trying to do different vfx things with each one to try out what I could do. I have been thinking of a course and definitely could do that in the future. I am a member of Film Riot and we show vfx tutorials from time to time and have a lot planned in the future especially with a project I'm currently working on, but yes an actual course is something I should think more about.
@@VFXProductionsRT Cool man, yeah I also watched your Extinction VFX Breakdown and recognized some VideoCopilot stuff. You really have an eye for cinematography, apart from your technical knowlegde etc. You got all the small things right (like chromatic aberration) which make the image feel rich and complete, I really want to get to that level and nail all the details. What are your goals for the future, you want to get hired for big movies? Just curious :)
@@ThijsGoedegebuure Thank you so much! that's so great to hear and I'm glad it comes across that way as sometimes I go a bit overboard with things then only realise later when I see it again haha. I hope you like this project I'm working on, some of my favourite vfx shots I've done and will have a breakdown on here in a couple months. And I don't actually want a career in VFX, I want to be a director so I'd love for that to happen in the future :)
@@VFXProductionsRT Hahah cool man, you gained a subscriber. That shot with "FR Training" on the wall (Extinction) really blew my mind. I just looks like a VFX shot I'd watch in the cinema. Looks great on a 4K HDR 10 bit monitor haha. I will use it as a reference of what I want to learn!
@@ThijsGoedegebuure Thanks for the sub :D And that is really awesome! I honestly wasn't sure about that shot so it's so great to hear that :) maybe the thing that helped was a foggy atmosphere which I often forgot to do before that project
Can I ask what settings you used on the Sony A7S MKII? Just to clarify, by settings I mean were you using S-log, Cine-4, etc, ISO. I have an A7S MKII and love how your footage looks. Thanks
Thanks, I honestly have no idea about iso, I do remember each shot was different though because of the weather and it got dark quickly. For green screen (and most of my other stuff too) I use Cine 6, at the time I read that it was the best and I like the way it looks
@@VFXProductionsRT Thanks man, never tried Cine 6, heard Phil Bloom rave about Cine 4 so that's what I've been using, but will def give Cine 6 a look. Great stuff!!!!
@@thereviewlounge9768 Yeah try it out and see which one works for you, I'm not sure though I might have followed a guide changing a lot of the cine 6 settings
This looks great! Do you have a technique for keying the stands of hair that blow in the wind? I have a recent project with hair blowing that has a problem keying the fine strands.
Thanks :) I don't really have a keying technique, just shooting in 4K got me a lot of the hair keying well. I did though also have a black and white crushed contrasted duplicate of the footage set to screen for any hairs that didn't remian in the key so that helps show more strands
Bro... WETA (Lord of the Rings) has nothing on you - Your efforts/results are nothing short of Legendary... Thank you for inspiring us newbies in the world of animation/video producing..
It's really amazing. I'm using after effects for 3 years, almost producing 3 small social media products per day, but I felt like using paint after seeing this. Also I made this Tekin KidsTV channel for my son with after effects and green screen keying.
Hello! Your work is incredible! I just have a question. How did you proceed with background tracking without background markers? If the entire screen is just a chroma key background, do I need a marker in the background? Don't you need any other elements to track around? (e.g., bricks, etc.) Help me.
Hey you are right that if the entire background is chroma there should be markers for moving shots, but with all the moving shots in this I had enough background information beyond the small green screen that I was able to track. The close up shot and far back shot behind her were both locked off on a tripod so those ones didn't need any tracking. But yes if the moving shots couldn't see any of the house exterior in frame then I would have added markers on the green screen. Hope this helps
@@VFXProductionsRT Thank you for your answer! It was very helpful. Could you upload the process of synthesizing it with Keying with After Effect? If I have to pay for it, I will!I really want to make a great work like your video.
Amazing Video! Truly inspiring. What part of After Effects was used to build the 3d background behind the actress? Ive searched all over for tutorials and cant seem to find anything. Perhaps im using the wrong keywords.
Hey thank you! Most of the background were still images in 3D space, that's usually called something like 2.5D matte painting or look into After Effects 3D layers. The ground rock section is done in the After Effects plugin Element 3D
the pyramid and fluid sims were created in Houdini and everything was comped in Adobe After Effects. I also used Element 3D for some of the clifs and rocks
Wow....its amazing. Im so excited lol !! btw, how did you make that 3d background like 0:26 ? And what do you call it? Last, did u use other programs such as maya? Thanks !
Thanks! So all of the cliffs, sky, ocean layers were 2D but set to 3D layers in after effects with different distances, then the ground and block of rocks on the left were .obj files in Element 3D. I only used after effects, Zybrand Jacobs who created all the pyramid ocean shots in Houdini :)
Seriously, for an After Effects project, it's really amazing
I was about to say that this is Nuke for sure then I saw the description.
@@petarpetrov5548 yeah! i thought that this is done in nuke , seriuosly i amazed to see and in after effects omg! great
@@petarpetrov5548 but that simulation is done in realflow and 3dmax
I'm pretty sure he used after effects only for the compositing
@@batz772 right
Finally. A VFX reel that isn't Andrew Kramers tutorials.
almost a year since I find this video and I still keep coming to watch it for motivation. I'll get there I hope ^^. amazing work.
Wow thank you so much I'm glad you like it!
omg me too, I always come back for motivation!!!!
WTF??. This is AMAZING. Congratulations.
Thank you!
This is so good I thought it was from a real movie
thanks that's awesome to hear!
I was hoping it was from a movie, it looks like it was something I'd like to see.
blockbuster grade vfx, love it !
Thanks!
I watch this religiously for motivation!!!
Very very cool!
I swear you are one of the few people on this site who knows what they are doing when it comes to effects. Nice job on the water sims dude.
Just read the description. Nice job to Zybrand as well.
Thanks so much! Yeah Zybrand did an amazing job, it was my first time compositing passes but I really love the final look
VFX Productions Yeah adding the footage with moving water in the matte paintings really helped sell those backgrounds. Solid work.
Oh Also I want to ask. What did Zybrand use for the simulation? I usually use maya for water but I have also been looking at learning houdini. Just curious what he used for this. Thanks!
Oh man, I'm not sure. I think it was Maya but not 100% on that
Super created woooo super background music
You just gained a lifetime subscriber. Well done sir 👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you so much!
awesome :O
I'm really impressed. just started I learning VFX and this project is impressive
BUT HOW/!!!!! THATS HIGH LEVEL! AMAZING!
Thank you!
This is extremely well done. thanks for this breakdown. I see countless and endless possibilities.
Thank you so much!
color looks so comfortable
This is incredible! As someone who aspires to learn and to have my projects loved and enjoyed by the world, this inspires me! Do you have any VFX after effects courses that I can purchase?
This is incredible work.
SHE SHOULD PLAY IN MOVIES !! REALLY DOPE ACTOR AND EFFECTS !
this is AMAZING
Thank you!
VFX Productions gonna somehow incorporate this into my lockscreen 😭 im obsessed aaaaa
Was so waiting for this! More impressed than I expected to be
Hahha cheers Taz
Always love seeing new work from you!
Hey man :) Thanks! I've actually just bought an Immortal Masks silicone mask for my current project and I only heard of them thanks to you guys :)
NICE! Yeah love their stuff and anything you do with one of their masks I'm pretty much guaranteed to love ;)
Thanks :) I'm aiming to release it late September
The fluid simulation is really good. I actually thought that it must created by houdini until I saw the description.
It's so beautiful that I got a tear
Wow man! Some seriously serious stuff. Awesome!
this is sooooo goooodddd, im sure i wanna be a vfx artist someday
Thank you so much Sensei! You are a blessing!
Dude this is hella sick. Makes me wanna focus more on vfx than videography. Shoo intense.

Wow! That was really great.
I hope you'll make a tutorial on how did you do that pyramid and water simulation.
That was wonderful.
Hands of to you guys......it's really amazing
Bravo 👏👏👏
Incredible Sir!!!! your work is amazing!!!!!
Thank you from all of us
What did i just saw now ? I can't believe in my eyes

How this is so good!!!!!
this was mindblowing, thanks for the inspiration
very very professional looking A+

Noob question. For the area where your actor is outside of the green screen, are you merely masking out the rest of the scene or roto scoping?
Hey yeah exactly any parts outside are masked/rotoscoped on a separate layer
Du pur génie. Bravo
Beautiful is all I can say.
I love your amazing job. I really want to learn VFX. And how to do that?

Hi. 1:28 water as made? What programs or plugins have been used? Unless of course it 's a secret)
Houdini was used for the water sims

Amazing work！ is it made up by Houdini or realflow?
I’m speechless 👏🏻👏🏻 This is awesome. Could you please make a more detailed tutorial?
wow wow wow wow to the infinity
It's great. So cool. 👍❤️
when you key from the green screen and composite the subject how do you get rid of the glowy dark shadow off the subject?
Unbelievable!!!
Pretty Awesome....Totally Amazing...
Thanks!
thank u helped me a lotNice tutorial.... Very helpful
I love this can I get tutorial full please I beg
I can't deny this was done with AE and not blender cos after effects scene setup just got more sexy
Dude this is GREAT
Thank you!
good stuff mate
did you use primatte keyer for keying or something else?
I think I used both primatte keyer and keylight
@@VFXProductionsRT Thank you.
How did you make the Color Correction? I love it!
Thanks! I think color is where I lack the most, it's a combo of curves, tint, colorista (by Red Giant) and luts
Got a question how do you build the background like the layers moutain or do you buy or download somewhere
my guess is that they used real images of mountains and basically made a matte painting in photoshop. From there they brought it into after effects.
Do you use any denoising techniques for your images? Everything is always smooth and crisp with you, which is a good thing!
thanks :) not really, and not with this project, I maybe denoise something once a year but it's something I don't usually need
Which software you use brother for these types of vfx
the pyramid and fluid sims were created in Houdini and everything was comped in Adobe After Effects. I also used Element 3D for some of the clifs and rocks
